Birthday weekend!

Did I party for my birthday?!? Well, I think you all know the answer :P As you all know, I don't drink... BUT I LOVE EATING!!! (**Even though I eat like a mouse, I am ALWAYS hungry!! hehehe...) And that's what I did! I just spoiled myself by eating all my favorite food, all in one weekend hahaha...

Even though I am not with you guys, I am lucky enough to meet nice people and be friends with them. Thus I was not alone, alone! YEY!

On Friday, I had a relaxing birthday dinner with Martina, Victor, and Richard at a Greek restaurant (MMmmm... Greek food!! One of my favorites!!!!). I ordered a Cod spread served with pita bread, which was delicious, and a plate of lamb . I usually don't like lamb that much, but that plate was really good! I had friends with me and food was good...  That made my day! ;)

AND on Saturday, I got a visit from a special friend, Brittany, who I met at the University of Ottawa during our B.Ed. studies. We haven't seen each other since the last time she came to Montreal before leaving for Zimbabwe a year and a half ago! Imagine the talking?!?!? Yeah, that's right! :P

This is what we did to fill in our schedule of a rainy day:

First, we met up in Brighton at 9:30am, then went to Starbucks for a hot chocolate (I had to since there's no Starbucks in Worthing!!!) I got my first peppermint hot chocolate from Starbucks since I got here... OH MAN, it tasted soooo goood :P We started talking, talking, and talking, and next thing you know, it was already 1:00pm :O We did realize that we were talking for so long!!

Then, we went for sushi (MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE!!) since I was craving for it (and also because there's no sushi restaurants in Worthing!!! :S) It was just a take-out place, but it was pretty decent. It was better than nothing :P And again, we talked, talked, and talked... until 4:30pm!

Afterwards, we went for tea and desserts at Cream Tea. Brittany ordered a chocolate-orange cake for me and it was AH-MAZING!!!!! It was sooooo goood!! Mmmm.. **Drooling!! :P We sat there until the shop closed around 7:00pm.

Then, we walked down a market street and found a Thai restaurant (another of my favorite!!) called Krua Anne,  The food was DE-LI-CIOUS! I've never had such good Ta Ma Houng (payaya salad) and Pla Rad Prik (Deep-fried fish with thai chili sauce) at a restaurant. Mmmm.. **Drooling again :P

Finally, we took the train, went back to my place, talked some more, and went to bed at midnight :O

AAaaahh it was good to catch up with a friend who I haven't seen for so long and to talk to someone who can actually understand me when I talk about Canada :P I felt like home for a bit more than 24 hours... AND IT FELT GOOD!!! :D

What a good weekend!!! Now time to go back to the gym!! Pouahhahaha...

PS: Martina, Victor, Richard, and Brittany: I had very good times with you all. I am very blessed to always have good people with me. Thank you for making my birthday special... I am lucky to have you guys as friends!! ;) xo

PPS: Oh yeah, as a birthday present, from ME to ME, I booked myself a plane ticket to go to Lyon, France for the annual "Festival des Lumières" this coming weekend!!!  YEY! Happy Birthday to me :D

I'll keep you posted!!
