Reasons why kim's birthday this year was better than last years

On friday was our dear friend Kimberly's big 2-1 birthday dinner. I was actually anticipating the dinner because I needed a break from all the intensive midterm studying I've been doing that week. I even had a midterm/quiz on the day of her birthday, which I am still quite angry about but thats not the point of this blog.

Anyway, without further ado, here are some reasons why Kim's birthday this year:

1. THE PLAN. Now her birthday this year was well planned. She sent out a facebook msg to a bunch of us almost a week before and EVERYONE replied in time; Eric was cutting it close though....4 in the morning was it? Also, it took us 3 days to finalize plans! Thats amazing when it comes to our group of friends, usually we do things on the day of and it usually works out...I think. Congrats to you kim, you should plan more things for us!

2. THE FOOD. Actually this wasn't all different from last year. This year she decided she would like to eat thai food again but at "Urban Thai Bistro" (has some sweet tunes at their site, so fancy) instead of "Tropika"(thanks to Jo for reminding me where we went). Now I don't really remember how much better Urban Thai was than Tropika but according to Dinehere, the ultimate guide to restaurants in Vancouver (except for BC sushi, stupid keith), Urban Thai had a rating of 3.5 stars while Tropika on Cambie (the one we went to says Jo) had a mere 2.5 stars. This year's restaurant beat last years restaurant but ONE WHOLE STAR! Here's a comment I read on their site for Urban Thai:

Good stuff
When I'm in Yaletown and hungry, this is where I go to eat. The staff are super friendly and very social, when time permits, and the food is fresh, delicious and plentiful.

My partner and I usually the dinner specials for 2, which are decent value and let us try a variety of dishes. We usually end up taking some home, and the leftovers are always excellent the next day for lunch!

The interior is clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated.

Thank you dragondrea for your insightful comment.
For our meal, we had a combination order, A dinner for 8 was what it said on the menu. It consisted of a couple of appetizer dishes (spring rolls and skewers) and then probably 10 more dishes of different curries, vegetables, and other things I can't remember. Oh and unlimited refills of rice. Even though we had 9 people, the food was very filling.

3. THE AFTER PARTY. Because Keith is not being helpful cuz he sucks ( F U KEITH) I'll tell you what we did after dinner. We first stood around the restaurant contemplating on what to do as usual. Kim decided that we should go to a lounge but we didn't know where, thus our adventure began. We walked far from where we ate, searchin high and low for a place to sit and drink, all full of course since it was a friday night at 9 o clock. After we decided we would go to EDGEWATER CASINO for some drinks. I didn't go because I had stuff to do the next day but I assumed it was going to be fun. I had the pleasure of sitting next to a guy on the skytrain blasting Miley Cyrus's new hit "Party in the USA." It really was a party indeed v.v

Now what we did last year, I honestly don't remember but it can't beat walking around downtown after a hearty meal, enjoying the night life of VANCOUVER with great friends. It's definately a lot more fun than going to New Zealand and last years party probably.

Thus concludes this blog session, the last party about the after party, Keith MAY fill in but I doubt it because hes a big jerk....like Jeff.

As the weekenders always say "Later Days!"
