madcap lunch

a whole bunch of us met up for lunch to celebrate Winnie's birthday. roped in the restaurant waitresses to wheel in the cake and they sang the b'day song in Chinese for our b'day girl.

the flip side of getting a bunch of jokers for lunch is that we were up to nonsense, like spinning the lazy susan like russian roulette to determine who gets to eat the last "har kow" (prawn dumpling) or char siew pao. we ordered too much (as usual) so it was meant as a punishment. I didn't have the heart to tell what "hashima" actually was when the dessert course was up. vaguely told them it was the glands from a lizard and it was especially good for the ladies.
