Gold Leaf. The Follow Up. And Birthday Presents

Following on from my little rant about meeting my ex best friend, L, at Gold Leaf Restaurant on saturday, I had in a way forced my other 2 friends E and S to come keep me company. I figured the more people the less awkward it would be. Right? Well I was right in a way.

First of we were all meant to meet at the restaurant at 11.30am, (well it was actually 11am, but by 10am L had messaged me to push it back). Anyway I show up at the restaurant, and my first thought was mmmm back on the asian scene. Haha. When the waiter finally attends to me, I'm immediately informed that I'm the first one, which was quite unusual cos L has a reputation for being punctual and hating other people for being late, it was quite ironical i thought. So I'm seated in this gloriously decked out restaurant with a million chandeliers on a mirrored ceiling and I'm basically minding a table of 6 for 5 people that are late! I get a call from S asking for directions, I call E up and she's says shes still on the freeway. I'm still waiting, about 10 minutes have gone down, I'm very close to mastering the trial version of Pacman on my phone (the challenge is to complete the track in 45 seconds :P) Then who arrives, S does (yay!), we're talking about work, she had baked for me (which by the way I forgot to grab of her :( oh well). E arrives shortly after. They sit either side of me, I feel like I'm being flanked by my girls :) Then the duo arrives (about half an hour late!) The table is round (thank god) so theres no such thing as sitting directly opposite me, but L was pretty close to being in that position. We make eye contact when she walks in, we both say hello, I greet H.

It's a yum cha restaurant and waitress' circle all the tables and we're meant to grab whatever we want from their trays, we start off with some friend stuff. (Not my choice, Ive been trying to avoid fried food). From the next tray we grab some steamed prawn dumplings, mmmm they were good. Everyones talking, I did spend most of the time talking to S and E. I barely asked L anything, and even when we all started talking about L and S's recent China trip, I made a point of directing all my questions to S. So there, call me childish, but I couldn't be bothered pretending that everything was ok when I knew she had a birthday party and didn't invite me!

On a more positive note, the girls, S, H and E gave me my birthday present! Yay! I got Dayglow tickets!!! O.M.G I am so excited!!! I don't know what to wear!!! ahh!! I know we have to wear white! but what!!!
Oh and they got me a virginblue voucher for $100. woahhh. Now where should I go with this??? I really need a travel buddy or a bf. Haha but i have to say it's exactly what I had asked for. Lol, the girls were struggling with my present this year, and asked me for clues...lol so it's not like I ordered them to get anything! But I'm so happy they got these!!
