I went out for dinner and a short night out with some friends from secondary school. That means that we've known each other since 2000, a good 7 years.

Dropped by Swensens (I was 3rd there, and I was PUNCTUAL).Spent some time standing around as the Swensens staff failed to even acknowledge our existence. After a while, we finally got our seats for 10 and sat there and pondered over what to order as the rest came filtering in.

I ordered a Coit Tower and shared the fries with June. =)

Anyway, we did some talking and catching up, followed by the gift exchange. Everyone started passing gifts they got for the group as well. I gave all of them a keychain from Taiwan as well as a mochi because I didn't have enough to give everyone a common denomination.

Sarah's gift, from Australia. Kangaroo Leather!


See? It's even genuine!


My present from the gift exchange. A necklace from Lisa. Thanks!!!


Xing Qi's gift. Read the words. I wonder if she's trying to be funny or sarcastic. Guess I'll return the favour in her farewell thingy then.


My other early birthday present from Elaine. A Freezer Mug.


My other half of my early birthday present from Elaine. A pen, with my name on it. Thanks Elaine! For remembering!

People started leaving around 7pm (June...*frowns*..hahaha, well I hope you enjoyed your steamboat). So we paid the bill and left, walked around the shopping mall before deciding to have a drink at Starbucks (where we met a junior of ours who is working as a barista there). Chatted a little more before finally deciding to leave.

Simple gathering but at least it happened.

And about the early birthday present from my boyfriend that I mentioned a couple of entries back, here it is:
