Return of the Surprise Birthdays

For the last 3 days I have gone to "Go For Tea" out in Richmond Hill. I had the same server twice in a row and at least this time I got to meet the day time staff. The plan was something thought up by Horace when we were actually at Go For Tea. I invited Alison and Jesse along the previous night from my farewell party. Ma Shite actually brought the cake and we went in separately, with Alison and Jesse bringing in the cake. The plan was that Jesse would pretend to be a guy name Tony and that we would force Sun Qiang to sing happy birthday to him. Sun Qiang's English name at Go For Tea happens to be Tony. It was ironic that when he was picking up the cake he made a comment to the waitress about "how did she knew it was his birthday"?

First off, originally Jesse and Alison was suppose to be seated right beside us, but some old man sat there instead. It was okay because they were seated right across from us, which turns out to be better. Except Sun Qiang went to the wrong table first, then turned around to Alison and Jesse's table. He put the cake down and almost ran off if we didn't stop him! All in all it was a success. He had just started working there, but now will be famous amongst the day staff. We have all sorts of happy photos of him with many of his female coworkers. I've never seen him so happy.

We went out to eat afterwards at Tako Sushi (Don Mills and Yorkmills). Ma Shi Te is so famous here, everytime we go we get free food on the house and discounts on the meals. The food isn't bad at all for a non-Japanese run Japanese restaurant. The service is pretty good, even with the grumpy serving girls. Arthur and Daag came up to see me for the last time from Waterloo. Daag has always been willing to drive to see me, even to Toronto. Arthur, only if it is important, and only if he remembers. But, I would hate to leave Canada without seeing both of them. Simon, Mike and Christine were also there briefly. We took about 2 hours to eat they must have wanted to kick us out.

I think I screwed up the plans for Poker because I had an extra 6 people with me. I was told poker was cancelled and we ended up eventually just going to Simon's to watch a movie; Kung Fu Hustler. It was okay funny, more Chinese than the previous one, but the sweet childhood love scene was too suddenly added in there.

I spent most of today sleeping so far, my cold or sickness has gotten a little worst. But, I really want to spend time with my friends before I leave. Leslie's coming over in a bit to get her computer fixed, then I'll probably head downtown to See Rui one last time and the Aritzia girls. Rui told me he just found out his favourite love has returned to Canada. Look out Naomi, the wolves are hunting.
