How fun... Lynhthy's birthday party. She's getting old, and everyone is here to celebrate. Lynhthy must have some mighty rich friends, as this place is way better than my double-wide birthday-bash trailer. |
Rather than say "hello" Jason tends to his mud-bug consumption while I am repeatedly shunned by Amanda. |
Ahhh... the bugs-o-mud. I've never had 'em, so I'm no expert. But still, I find it hard to determine if those are new mud-bugs, or what is discarded. If that's the discard pile there must not be much of 'em to chow down on. I'll just stick with eating my butter packets for now. |
Who farted? |
What a beautiful trio! The lady with the cup served as a coach for some of us playing Don-Won, or Bej-ong, or some crazy-sounding game like that. Lynhthy (center) was supposed to be my coach, but she kept leaving me hanging on power-plays while she socialized with the upper-crust of her party attendants. Don't let the cute qualities of the lady on the right fool you -- she's a CHEATER. She pretty much took us all to the mat and won the game... so she MUST have been cheating, right? |
Lynhthy was ALL over with the camera. Snapping shots here and there. Just when you didn't want her to take one. Oh, how bothersome those crazy kids are with their cameras. Don't you just hate that? Okay... on to the next photo... |
Jason pretends to play the piano, but not only fails to score up a decent tune, but ends up choking at the game as well. |
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNHTHY!!! Of course, you'll have to understand that Asian years are different than the years we celebrate. So, according to this cake, sweet little Lynhthy is really 106 years old. She must have fake teeth. Click HERE to watch the Happy Birthday Video |
FIRE: PART I - Keep an eye on the kid in the background... he can NOT take his eyes away from the magical burning of the candles. Future pyro? It may be too soon to tell. |
FIRE: PART II - Yep... future pyro for sure. |
Lynhthy, being the ripe old age of 106, has to support herself with a metal folding chair while her friend plays drums on the cake using two candles as drumsticks. What a light show!! I thought you only got to see fire shows like that in Hawaii. |
Lynhthy then proceeds to remove all the candles (this takes some time). She'll later re-use the candles in her home while taking a bubble bath, or for a nice romantic dinner. Good thinking, Lynhthy -- way be to save money! |
How the kid in the lower-left ever got service is beyond me. Where I come from it's: No Shirt. No Shoes. No Service. Kids can get away with anything nowadays. |
This is what it would look like if Amanda said, "Ghaaaawwwweeee" while being attacked by a Chia-pet. |
SLACKER!! |
Lynhthy was such a great host. Here we see her cutting an extra-huge piece of cake for Jason. He also gets into the cutting frenzy. |
Wow. That's some crazy cake, bro. If I were Lynhthy, I'd ask for a refund. At least the cake sauce they provided was tasty... just not very dessert-like. |
Here we see some of the kids playing that dancing game. The PlayStation game was actually set up so that you had to play using the hand-held controllers, but it appears that several of the kids failed to realize that the foot/floor controllers were missing. I didn't have the heart to tell them. |
Jason, being the talented guy that he is, does three things at once: He rallies us all together for a post-meal prayer, works us up into a hearty rendition of "pattie-cake," all while showing us his olympic platform diving techniques. What grace. |
After the party, a few of the participants partake in the ritual of folding the French flag. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. |
This is wonder-boy. Here, he demonstrates his raw strength by holding up this folding table. |
What a pretty lady. I still think she cheated me out of a perfectly good win -- she distracts you with her charm, and then goes in for the kill/win. |
This is the little boy they set at the front of the facility to keep people from coming into the party that weren't dressed well. Here we seem him demonstrating to a lady that her skirt MUST come down to right above the knee or she can not come to the party. |
Amanda got drunk on the soy sauce and started randomly hugging people at the party. This is the first sign that it's time to GO. |
