Yet another birthday but this time for someone who is super important. My mother :]

Started the morning off with Dim sum at the local dim sum place in my area. Koi Garden in Ulferts center in dublin. Most definitely higher class than the dim sum tea houses in oakland or san fransisco china towns because its in the suberbs. but the food is decent with a good atmosphere and price is ok a bit pricey but food quality is good. Only thing that bugged me is that when i picked up the bill, i paid :] Is that at the bottom of the tip under the total they had a 15%,20% and 25% with the price next to each of how much your total will be for which u decided to choose.

1. its a tea house tips should be 1-2 dollars a person.

2. The price of the dishes are already expensive as hell

3. Why the F*ck should i pay 15% to someone who sat me down which is a given and 15% to some guy who refilled my hot water in the teapot once. i didnt even get a damn refill of my glass of water.

Hell, 15% is expected at high end restaurants like a steakhouse where its 25-40$ a person. Unless in my 19 years of age someone slipped under my nose that Tea houses are high class restaurants. I laughed my ass off when i saw it with my girlfriend and my parents.

Other than that i had a good time. Went shopping for a present, decided on a orchid flower for mother and of course two cards one from me and one from the girlfriend.

For dinner had some exellent chinese food, lobster and crab included.

Afterwards met friends up at Cafe Tapioca and caught the last half of Pirates 3 seen it before but it was a good refresher of how good that movie was.

Not much of an update but i had a rant/

this is my girlfriend with the orchid plant. and shes cute ;]
