A bit more stuff.

Well Washington DC was last week, so here is this week's: it was a fun Saturday :)

Mum/dad have been asking me to get more winter clothes, so as an obidient child who will suffer from the disobidience the most I went down to get some more. I don't need a lot though, so just bought a big hooded jacket, another pullover and a beanie. Together with those I have should be good enough to allow me to survive through winter.

Today is Yiran's birthday, but we decided to celebrate yesterday nevertheless; in combination with Michelle's arrival from Philadelphia it was a good enough occasion for all of us to go downtown for dinner. Michelle's friend, Walter, drove her here and hence we got a ride downtown. Hmm if we were to take a bus it would be pretty bad.

We couldn't decide between Inner Habour and Fell's Point, but settled for Inner Habour in the end because no one knows how to navigate Fell's Point. Initially we went into Cheesecake Factory but the queue was insane (2-2.5hrs!) so we decided to walk down the waterfront and go into anyone which looked fine. In the end we went into this bar/restaurant, ordered three huge platters to share among the 6 of us. And we figured that their crab cakes were indeed a bit overrated.

Since Cheesecake Factory was so full we bought a cheesecake back instead. We told the lady that it was for someone's birthday and she offered to 'make it nice' for us. In the end it looked rather, well, amusing :P

Everyone then went to my room for cake cutting :) we tried to light the candle with my electric stove, but it didn't work besides generating a lot of smoke. It was then I remembered that I should have matches :P so Yiran had a candle to blow in the end :)

Cheesecake Cutting :P

Haha his roommate Johnny must have been waiting for this day. Wish him all the best, as in, that he won't be forced to drink to his death or be coaxed to buy liquor for Johnny and hide in his cabinet or something :P
