A Birthday I'll never forget!

Started with getting off from work early that morning and slept til noon. I went to run errands buying things to Tet Vinh's parents at Hong Kong Market. I got his dad coffee and his mom asian pears and a box of chocolates. On the way home got stuck in traffic by the CCC. Thao-Vi called me to go to Play Birthday Slot Machine at Harrah's. Might as well since I'm stuck in traffic and can't go home to watch Secret Garden (Kdrama I'm addicted to). My cousin Linda and Thao-vi joined me on the spin. And Guess What?! I won something other than the free buffet.

$100 to Besh Steakhouse


We were hungry and used it right away. It was delicious. This is just the dessert. I'm glad Thao-vi and Linda talked me into it. Made the start of my Birthday memorable. Other photos is on facebook.

Vinh was working on my bday. So, he told me he'd take me out for Sushi for my Birthday on Friday instead. But little did I know, he and Thao-vi planned a surprise Birthday party for me at Little Tokyo. Pretty Brilliant! Because I love sushi and singing! But the surprised got spoiled by my older sister Hong a few days early. She told me she's going to Little Tokyo friday. I was like... "With me and Vinh?" and then it hit me. I told Hong, "I know now. Hahaha!" On Friday I went to get my hair done by Tiffani's and got highlights! =) I really like it!! She used my hair in her profile on her website. She just moved into her new Salon which is in the same building as Hong's nail store. I been hanging out there alot with Hong. Night time came around and Vinh came to Chuc Tet my parents before heading out to Lil tokyo. But when he came over, he knocked on the door and I opened it. He surprised me with Roses! I love it! It's my favorite!

I had an awesome night and was surprised again when my friend Nga came to join us. Dieu and Jaime came too. Tien was busy working that night. We didn't leave lil tokyo til they closed. Haha! Since it was a surprise, I didn't have my camera to take any pics. But Nga took this picture on her phone. Big Smile! They got me a Hi-Do Fluer de Lis King Cake! How awesome?! My niece helped me blow out my 26 candles... And we had so much to drink that night. I love it! Spending my birthday with Friends and Family. =)Saturday Night I planned and invited a bunch of my girlfriends to celebrate my Birthday. We had dinner at Drago's. Hue Surprised me with a Cake!

This is a picture of us before, starting with our first shot, Sex on the Beach. A pre-cursor to our Destination on Bourbon, The Beach! =) I felt really special having all these fine ladies with me that night. =)

We went to the Beach down on Bourbon and I rode the whale. It was fun but also scary.. anyways, I really sucked and was tipsy! Oh yeah, I love the song No Hands that they were playing!

Sunday we ended it with a big celebration at Hong's house. Because it was also Anh Nhan's (1/23) and Noah's (1/28) Birthday!! They also celebrated their house warming that day becuase their brother finally came home from Brazil.
I'm all tired out. What a weekend. There's alot I didn't mentioned and just skimmed through it with photos... But it'll suffice. Everything else is embedded in my memories. I'm so blessed.
