JO'S 20th

on this day (well the day after, technically) Joey turned 20

there was a game of basketball in the afternoon but I was a little bit late so I only missed the whole entire thing
since it was so hot I came just as everyone was heading into Chooi-ee's house to cool down a bit
we played Bang, and the good guys won
boooooo

check out Joey's funky leg pose

at around 6 we headed down to this cute Korean restaurant in Clayton
oh, funny story!
on the way down Judith and I realised our grave miscommunication about Joey's card
Judith had asked me to "draw something for Joey's card"
what I thought she meant was draw something to put on the card Judith had made for Joey
what Judith meant was to make a card for Joey

so I rushed into my house to grab some spare paper and was frantically cutting, gluing and shredding up paper into a card as we drove on the way to the restaurant 
I can say that Judith was more than a little concerned that I was going to slice one of my fingers off
it turned out all good though

this was the restaurant, Hodori Korean Garden. quaint, right? traditional decoration and everything, I appreciate it

Judith and I were just a tad later than everybody else due to the card incident, so the appetizers were out already
or side dishes
I don't know the exact terms but Korean cuisine always has these side dishes to go with the main meal, like kimchi and other things etc etc

the birthday girl

other unimportant people who are not the birthday girl

read: same as above

fooood

my favourite, bulgogi
ate this when I was a kid, it's eternally my favourite Korean dish

jajangmyeon (black bean sauce noodles)
apparently this dish is good at this place?

spicy chicken thingy

SIZZLING PORK BELLY

I quite liked Hodori Korean Garden, the service was like...okay (putting it nicely). but the food and atmosphere was nice

couldn't pass up the chance to take some group photos on the way out
check out me doing The Creep in that last gif

after dinner we decided to head back to Brandon's house
grabbed a slurpee on the way, this makes Judie's 2nd slurpee ever
getting there

socks for him + her
Jess just came back from Korea and had presents for everybody
felt a little like everyone else's birthday too haha

I got this awesome Jake doll

hair curlers + Totoro

and funny socks

found this little robot interesting

not forgetting whose birthday it actually was, we gave Joey her cake and presents
I thought this cake was pretty awesome

green tea, and look at the fake grass haha
quality craftmanship, Bread Kingdom
good on ya

Joey's reaction to cutting her cake

we got her this Kpop CD set
my kpop knowledge is non-existent so I have no idea who TVXQ are
but if you know em then you'll probs be jealous of this CD set, it was signed as well

Translation, anyone?

check out this holographic business

Judie's face hereeee LOL
"u sAID WOT NOW??"

Caf came in from work bearing gifts of pizza

these socks were for her, due to her old obsession with One Piece and Zoro

Joey's reaction to her boyfriend's incredibly poignant gift of...

this was the card I made for Jo
it has her two little dogs on it

for the rest of the night we just lounged around and chatted and played games
here's Wynne playing something
was it Final Fantasy? I don't remember
anyways

literally too lazy to sit upright and talk

Wynne stole my camera
she's a great photographer

Settlers of Catan
I've not played this game but I've heard it can get preeeeetty competitive

chilled for a while and then called it a night   /o
