Steamboat Birthday Bash


Like last year and every year, my birthday falls directly in the middle of Anthony and Roger. Roger's 26 years old on the 23rd of January, I'm 20 on the 26th, and Anthony's 20 on the 31st.

And also like last year, we had a birthday bash. Not a very big bash, more of a small affair concerning steamboat at Anthony's and a couple of friends from the wholivesnearyou bike thread.

Setting out, that would be Lazychoo in a bus.

And Anthony.

Why must I take pictures of Lazychoo and Anthony in a bus?

Because it's damn hard to get them to take buses together. Much less Roger, who has two bikes and a car.

We were on our way to get the groceries for the steamboat. But upon reaching Northpoint and meeting up with Daniel and CS, we headed immediately for the arcade, where Lazychoo won this:

On the first try. The indian family oohed and aahed at his spoil so much that we roughly figured that they've been trying for the same Stitch for quite some time now.

Here's Anthony cajoling Lazychoo to be violent,

And afterward getting quite violent himself.

They just can't get enough of games, can they?

Naruto met up with us after the arcade session, and took the bus back to Anthony's house together with us.

So we went back and messed around until most of the people arrived.

What's this?

Here's a picture of the dining table all set up nicely, waiting for the steamboat..

..which just so happens to have this damn scary face in the way of the view.

Lazychoo and a couple of the guys happily sat down and chatted while the rest of us got real busy. But nothing could keep them away a few minutes later when we started nagging at them to help out.

Ladies and gentlemen(ladies especially), this is a sight to behold! For the first time ever,

Guys who help out in the kitchen! Not one, not two, not three, but FIVE! (Anthony was busy mixing the drinks) Yours truly also helped out too. By being the resident photographer, because resident photographers don't have to get their hands all wet.

Lazychoo has skill.

Anthony's trying to look taller than both of us. If he stood normally we'd create a Do-Re-Mi effect.

We're da CREW!!!

We got the shirts together while shopping with Anthony the other day. Anthony bought it for Roger as his birthday present, and we all conspired to freak him out, so we were clad in a jacket when he arrived, up to the point where he opened his present. Then all the Supermen and Superwomen came out.

Anyways, Roger got so freaked out he started acting cute.

Roger was in a great big rush because he had to go back to work, so before he left, we did the blowing of the candles and the cutting of the cake together.

This is not polygamy. That is not a wedding cake.

After Roger left we all just kind of hung around and watched TV while Anthony's brother Michael murdered the remaining food.

There was supposed to be a rounding session after the steamboat, but we all ditched the idea after Anthony brought out the Martell. Lazychoo and Daniel went back to get Lazychoo's bottle of Chivas, while the rest of us trudged out into the cold, cold night to buy snacks and titbits to munch while watching DVD.

We all survived the first DVD, some KO-ed during the second, and by the third the only surviving ones were Lazychoo and I.

It was fun. Not the way I had imagined, but fun.
