DM Again | Aug 24th

Today was meant to be a little mini Don Mills reunion/gathering I guess. Prior to the event, merre and I headed to Fairview to get my phone plan done. Toronto phone plans are so over-priced it's not even funny. Everything got settled in approximately 30mins... which was not bad I guess. Although I was not really satisfied with the sales ladies soft and un-energized voice (she sounded like she was going to die any second), I still got over it in the end. I bought some lunch from KFC for myself and some timbits for my fellow ex-school mates and we headed off to A.Gupta's house. Attendees: choco, merre, A.Gupta, C.Mao, M.Wei, J.Kan, S.Rahman, K.Li, and W.Lu.

To be honest, we were pretty darn out-of-it towards the beginning, as we played some monopoly game which put no interest to us, and then went for a walk to the park with the dog that absolutely freaked me out; I have this thing where I'm just really afraid of dogs ever since I got bitten at a young age. Anyhow, things did get better. A.Gupta toured merre & I to his collection on alcoholic beverages where we each ended up taking a shot of Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka. I also brought along a bottle of champagne which we opened and nearly finished... For some odd reason we all thought it tasted like beer.

A nice day @ the park

After returning back to his house, we taught everyone how to play Monopoly Deal; they were fast learners with beginners luck. It wasn't long till they started playing another game; san guo sha. The game was way too Asian even for someone like me. I watched them play for so many rounds and I still hardly understood all the rules and such. But I guess it's fun for those who actually knows how to play... my role was to peak at everyone's cards and laugh at those who made dumb moves. We also played some foosball which turned out to be so much fun! Lots of laughters during that!

Yes, it's chinese words you see on the cards...

Foosball-ing! So much fun! 

On the same night there was a tornado in Toronto... we starred out the window at the lightening listening to the thunder and rain. We realized that it was really time to head home and so we all grabbed out our umbrellas and headed out the door. Man it was pretty scary on the way home, trying to avoid walking under trees since trees attracts lightening. In the end, everyone made it home safely and that was my day.
