Huixin's Birthday Party

It was Huixin's birthday on Friday and she had invited us to dinner at Grandma's Kitchen located on Xiushui South Street. I wanted to bake her a birthday cake but ended up buying one at Kempinski Deli. But I compensated my laziness for probably the best Black Forest Cake in town and a doggy softtoy. *oh, yanqing has a share in the presents too*

We drove to Grandma's Kitchen. I realised that with driving on our own, we became never punctual for appointments - partly due to our unfamiliarity with directions yet. But I must say then we usually underestimate the time we need to drive to a destination. Hhhmm, this is bad. Because having a car is suppose to shorten our commute time. *perplex*

Back to the topic, it was great fun at her party. We haven't been seeing each other alot since I moved here. Things do change after one is married and has his or her own family to take care of. I feel that I am a friend who is guilty of neglecting her friends. I'll try to change that.

Grandma's Kitchen was filled with laughter and loud talking on Friday night, thanks to us. But they also got a big check to cash in, because the birthday girl ordered ALOT of food. We were stuffed, happy, and satisfied. Olof and I left earlier since he got a flight to catch the next day.
