Well, another 21st gone by. Went to Surath's 21st on Saturday night. Was interesting. He actually had a buffet there for us to eat. Was very nice. Had rice, curry, bread, baked potatoes, different salads... all very yummy! The only downside to it was that we only got to eat at like 9ish!!! lolz...
He had written on the invite that the party would start at 7pm... so I just assumed that we would also get to eat at 7pm. But obviously that wasn't the case. Anyways, I got ready by 6:30 because I thought my brother would be taking me there. But just as I was about to leave the house, the phone rang. It was Rani and he had kindly offered me a lift there. He was also picking up Bum so to make things easier for him I decided to go to Bum's place first and he could 'kill two birds with one stone'. However, he would not be picking us up until 7:30ish and my tummy was grumbling. It's ok, I thought to myself, there will be dinner there waiting for me and I can stuff my face then. So off to Bum's house I went (but not before I realised that Gilmore Girls was on tv AND it was a 2-hour episode!!! I love that show... been waiting for it to come back. Lucky my brothers taped it for me *grins*)

Got to Bum's house and her dad offered me dinner... but I resisted the temptation reminding myself that the food would be waiting for me when I get there. Didn't wanna eat and fill myself up! Eventually Rani came and we arrived at the Mt. Waverley Youth Center. OMG! But the funniest thing happened! Rani was so proud of himself because he had found a carpark that was really close to the place so we didn't have to walk that far. So Rani, Mel and I went into the center. As we were walking in, a guy on the phone was standing just outside the entrance and we over heard him saying ".... blah blah blah... wedding anniversary...". Now I didn't take much notice of it and it seemed neither did the others. So we kept walking in. It wasn't until we didn't see anyone we knew in there and that the guest were much older than us. We also got a few blank looks. Somehow we realised that this wasn't the place. When we walked back outside, there was a balloon hanging on the wall which said "Happy 50th Anniversary"!!! hahahahaha... The place we had gone into was the Mt Waverley Community Center... not Youth Center! hahaha... So Rani wasn't that lucky after all coz the place was further down the street. haha... it was so funny.

So by now, I was dying of hunger. It was 2 hours past my dinner time and my tummy was making funny noises. But we were nearly there... only a few more steps and I'll be able to eat till my heart's content! Got in there... nothing. There was no food on the tables... the closest thing were little tit bits that were nearly finished by all the other guys that were there earlier! Great.

So I had to wait another hour till the food finally arrived. Lolz... not that I was there JUST for the food.. hehe.. I was there to celebrate Surath's 21st! haha... But like Mel mentioned, his birthday was like in reverse to what people would normally do. People arrived, then they had speeches, sang happy birthday (and 'for he's a jolly good fellow') and cut the cake. Then ate dinner and had dancing after that. He also set up a little bar... it was so cute.

Overall, it was a interesting nite. Definitely not the way I expected it to be. :) Oh and no photos for this birthday... my camera ran out of battery! :( well i did manage to get one...
