Wow, wow, wow, WOW. Friday 08.08.08 was a FANTASTIC DAY!!
It was not only the START OF THE OLYMPICS! but an awesome outing for me! XD
It was not only the START OF THE OLYMPICS! but an awesome outing for me! XD
It started off with me going to school. Okay school is not very exciting, but the rest of the day totally made up for it! School was same old same old. Nothing new. The day got better once we got OUT of school and it just got better and better (for me at least).
So, my friends and I have been planning to go to the mall for quite some time now. Yesterday we FINALLY went to the mall together.
Here's the gang - (left to right) Me, Phan, Nikki, Lily, Dinh, Andy, Ivan.
Our main activity of this outing was to EAT.
Our choice of restaurant - Todai BUFFET.
Choice of food - SUSHI!
All of us met at the front gate of school. Dinh got there first, then me, Andy and Lily. While we were waiting for the rest, my dad arrived. So we all got into the car because it was SO HOT. I intro my dad to them and when I intro Andy my dad was like,
"My name's Andy too!"
"Really" - Andy
"Yeah!" - Dad
"Coooool!" - Andy
Everyone finally arrives and they had a hard time getting into the car. The car is a mini-van. Dinh and Andy sat at the very back and Lily sat in one of the seats in the middle. We had to squish 4 people at the very back and the 2 guys got to sit in the middle and I got the front seat (obviously)! XD
So Lily wants to sit at the back with the rest of the girls and poor Andy had to move to the middle. Nikki didn't make such a good move either. She came in and Andy almost squished me. Lily was trying to squeeze herself into the back. But they somehow managed to organize themselves. Once everyone was in their seats and comfy, my dad drove us to Glendale Mall.
Nikki and her camera!
Andy says "Hi!!"
Okay, besides the "happy carefree looking forward to getting a sushi buffet", I did not know where the restaurant was. So we had a little hard time finding it. The directory didn't really help. There were also 2 Todai restaurants. We were looking for the one on the ground floor.
We ended up going up and down, round and around.
But its okay, we eventually found it. (Nikki did technically) We went up to the 4th floor and I don't know why for some reason we ended up taking the STAIRS down and down to the ground floor =.=" Then up again and down AGAIN! Nikki and Ivan went their own way. So they found it. We had to run up and down. Finally we get fed up and Andy calls Ivan. We had to walk OUT of the mall, go through a parking lot and cross the street to get to TODAI.
We get there and everyone was like, "FINALLY!!!" and had a big excited smile on their face. When we walked in, there was this Japanese lady and she greeted us in Japanese. I think it was "Welcome".
Well once a bunch of HUNGRY teens are in there what do you expect?
WE EAT! ATTACK THE FISHIES!
Here we are at Todai Restaurant.
Phan and Nikki
Me!
Dinh - eating fried rice 'cuz she don't like sushi.
HATER!
just joking~ haha
This was the tempura squid that took me FOREVER to finish because it was SO chewy. I felt like a dog with a chew toy.
Lily, honestly, I don't know what she was doing.
I just happened to take a weird picture of her.
LOL

Oh and this was my favorite desert. It's White Chocolate.
It looked so pretty that I just HAD to take a picture of it. =D

Hehehe. We had a TASTY time. The food was great. We definitely enjoyed ourselves.
But when the check came. DX
It is 15bucks each person, but I didn't know we had to pay for our drinks =.=". We also had to leave tips and of course, TAX.
It all added up t o $$125$$
Ivan, Lily and I had to put in more money the rest were either CHEAP ASIANS *EH HEM* or only had 15bucks.
We spent about one and a half hour there and then we went window shopping. =D Andy wanted to go to the Lego store so that's where we headed. On the way, we bumped into Cathy and her gang. She was like the only Asian in that group. The rest were Mexicans. Whoa, I wouldn't survive in there. lol
Now, back to Lego -
Yes everybody! We are 5 years old!!! XD But when the check came. DX

haha It was so funny. Well, Ivan was more mature. Instead of joining us, he sat on the steps outside.
Ivan - aka Loner. nahhhh~
Lily (My bestest friend in America) and Me!! 
Yeap yeap.
Yeap yeap.
Later, we walked on downstairs and we kind of split up. Lily and I went to Target. We needed to use the rest room. I also got this cute bag!! I need one anyway. My school bag is falling apart. The zippers don't work and there's a couple of holes.
On the way to Target some black dude started following us. At first I thought he was just another shopper, instead he was one of those more "aggressive" salesman.
"Hey hey you! What's your name?" - black dude
"huh?! O.o" - me
"Yeah, you what's yo name? You look pretty!" - black dude
"what?! the heck??!!!" - me (thinking)
"Whaaaaa?" - Lily
O.O
"C'mon what'z yo name? You look pretty!!" - black dude
The two of us walked away as fast as we could. That was creepy. o.o"
Anyway, once we got to Target, we tried to look for the restroom. But Lily and I couldn't find it. So we started browsing the bags that was right next to the entrance. So I got that blue bag. Then Ivan came along and he found the restroom.
Yeepee! Relief!! XD
After that, we just hung around. Then Lily had one of her CRAVINGS. This time it was for (specifically) chocolate chip cookies. She dragged me all the way to McD to buy one of those cookies but ended up NOT buying it because she only had a 2odollar bill. The cookie was like only what - 50cents? Instead she bought a Cinnamon Roll for her brother. So sweet! Nice big sister.
We met up with the others again and then walked around somemore. Then Lily spotted a candy vending machine. It was HILARIOUS. It actually cost only a quarter for SOME skittles. Lily puts in the first quarter and nothing comes out. She puts in ANOTHER one and guess how many come out?
ONE. Just ONE. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Lily didn't even eat her 50cent worth of skittle. What a rip off.
After that it was time to go, my dad picked us up again. I had to go to FongYi's place to meet up with some friends and go to a college awards ceramony (she won a trophy). They had to go to YUCA. (This youth association) So my dad dropped me off at home so that I could get ready and dropped everyone else at the library.
After that he came back for me and drove me to FongYi's house. Over there we played a game and then everybody talked about their day and mine was what I just wrote up there. hehe
When we were going to Oxy College, I got to ride in Cheyrl's car. We were a little late when we got to the ceramony but it was alright. We waited and waited and waited for my friend (Karen)'s turn to recieve her award. She and another guy were the very last ones. They got the BIGGEST trophy. WOW! Congratz to her!
After that, we took lots and lots of pictures together with Karen, 'cuz we miss her and had not seen her for about 2months! Later we went out for dinner to celebrate! This time I was in Ah Heng aka Ah Ba's car. His driving was actually scary. I'm glad I SURVIVED.
The restaurant we went to was chinese. DUH. They were all chinese and canto speaking anyway. So I was not surprised. One of my friends - Jessica really likes using the restroom. Really when we got there, she used the restroom. When the others arrived she went again. After dinner one more time. Later we went out for dessert and she went like twice there. I'm like whoa girl.
Dinner was alright nothing special really. Later we drove somewhere to have dessert. This time I sat in FongYi's car. I got this mango drink. It had sago and little mangoes in it! SO TASTY! ^^ Yeap yeap.
After that it was time to go home. This time, Ah Joe (Crystal's older brother) drove us there. We stopped by to pick up some stuff and he sent me home.
NEW BAG!!

When I got home the first thing I did was watch the
Olympics Opening Ceramony!
Olympics Opening Ceramony!
Too bad I could not see the whole thing. I got to see the part of the lighting of the torch. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! XD
Anyways after that, I had to go to sleep. The weird thing was that I didn't even feel tired. I was like "I'm up for more!!"
LOL
But hey it was wayyyy past 12. So I went to sleep. It was a great day. I fell asleep with a smile on my face. I'm sure.
I felt so proud to be Chinese! Now I feel even prouder!
