I think it was last Friday. I think.
I think it was Vivian and Yunyi who arranged this get together to eat Dim Sum in the morning. We ended up going to this Dim Sum restaurant that was owned by Vivian's uncle.
I had this awesome time getting to the Dim Sum place. Basically I took 49 to Victoria, and then took 20 towards Downtown all the way to Pender (it was a long time for me because I had never taken 20th bus before, and I have never really gone to that part of downtown by myself before either. Basically I was not a downtown person. Maybe more like the edge of the city kind or something...) So I got off at Pender, and then walked for around 6 minutes (that was what google maps told me) towards the right on East Hastings.
The Dim Sum place was called Pelican Seafood restaurant. I didn't know what I was expecting, but I was somewhere along the lines of either a big bird on the front board, or fishes and shrimps for seafood. But the restaurant sign was just red with white words on it. I thought it looked really nice and simple, but the "pelican" on the side was a little hard to spot if you weren't looking for it.
I thought I was going to be late, but I ended up getting there first. Vivian arrived a few seconds later, and the rest was history.
We got a seat, and me and Viv went out to wait for the others. Originally 9 people were coming, but April had piano lessons so now there were only 8. We waited and Yunyi soon arrived. Then we started to worry because the rest of the people were either super late or cannot come. We phoned Kaixin, and she was really sick was a cold so she couldn't come either. Emma was coming, but she mistrusted the bus driver who brought her to Burnaby... In the end it was only Vivian, Yunyi, Emma and me that went. Jennica and Tina also had to cancel because of piano lessons...
The Dim Sum was really good. I was never one who loved Dim Sum, because I was more from mainland China and we rarely ate Dim Sum there. Even though we had to wait a long long long while before we finally got to sit down and eat, it was totally worth it. However I do feel bad because in the end Vivian's parents paid for us. Vivian's birthday is on the 15th (this Sunday), hint hint.
