The Party

     Saturday, oh Saturday, what an terrific day. Two major things happened to me today. The first was Cindy's (from the previous post) birthday party and second was another awesome tennis party which I got invited to to celebrate an adult tennis team reaching the national championships.
     The first occasion was awesome. It's probably one of the birthday parties I've gone too. The food was great. There was chow mein, fried rice, sweet desserts, egg rolls, spring rolls, bread, curry, rice, you name it. There was so. much. asian. food. :D. Besides the food, it was awesome going to a party where the air was filled with Vietnamese, Chinese, and English, all from the same people! It's strange to say, but a trilingual party is pretty, and pretty fun to be at.
     In the beginning, Cindy broke out her photo album burned onto a DVD which was really cool. We got to see her from a wee baby until the present day in her dress. It was pretty awesome. The only out of place part in the day was after that.
     Going through the food line, there was this incessant Chinese voice behind me. It was so familiar, yet I completely ignored it because of the fantastic delights in front of me. After turning around though, I spotted my Chinese teacher at my high school! Wow it was awkward. Seeing your teacher in a grocery store is one thing. At a birthday party is another. Interestingly, she was invited by Cindy so she wasn't actually related to her. Unfortunately, she couldn't stay long. Despite the awkwardness, she's actually one of my favorite teachers, so I was disappointed when she had to leave.
     After that interesting episode, we settled down and ate. After we started up the Wii. It was pretty fun to watch the others play. At least 5-6 of the other kids there played tennis, so we of course started playing Wii Tennis. Being the captain, one of my teammates even challenged me because she thought she would beat me in virtual reality when she couldn't in real life. It was a fun idea hahah. Unfortunately, it didn't play out as well. On the side of being a tennis player, I also have played video games for most of my life Wii included. So you can imagine how that turned out. :D.
     After that, my varsity coach (different from my JV coach who I watched movies with), took me to head to Mill Creek Tennis Center for more awesomeness.
