AC

so Chow's bday is 2 days before mine so Tina planned a weekend trip to AC for him as a surprise and she and Gohm worked together to get a house for the weekend and invited all his friends to come down. the thursday before Tina and Meegs got all the food for the weekend: they prepared burger meat, bulgogi, duk bok ki, omelette and pancake ingredients for breakfast, bacon, sausage, tater tots, all the yummy stuff and then Gohm and Han brought the food down on Friday day and then they golfed and then waited for all of us to get there. Ming brought ingredients and the equipment necessary for hotpot dinner and Min brought the alcohol. when Chow got there, it was a real surprise which is always a good thing and then the boys all got started drinking like mad men and we all dug into the hotpot.

the 2nd day was pretty nice during the morning and everyone went to play outdoors and on the beach. somehow, Han managed to injure himself pretty badly. i'm still not sure what exactly happened, but all i know is that it involved a football and some trash cans. Han was pretty much on the injured list for the rest of the weekend.

that night we played a bunch of drinking games and i learned a new one called mafia. we all also found out how good of a liar Gohm can be through this game. we all headed out to the Borgata and everyone got ready to either gamble/try to go clubbing. Chow of course headed straight to the poker tables while Gohm, Stitch and i hovered around the roulette tables and i got to gamble for the 1st time ever which was super fun and now i can see why it's so addicting.

we left on sunday and had to drive through a nor'easter. both Gohm and i had never heard of the term "nor'easter" before so when Stitch said it i thought she had made it up but we heard all the news and weather channels using the term so that's how i found out it was a real word.

easter hotpot

sigh...sometimes things are just so tough and i don't know why. whenever i get into a relationship, i surprise even myself in how i behave and how things affect me. i don't know why that has to happen.

anyways, so for easter, since Gohm couldn't go home, i decided to have some type of group gathering so he could celebrate it even tho he couldn't be w/his family. luckily, Bubby's a Jew so she didn't have any plans, and Kik's fam was in Maine so I invited them over for a hotpot dinner along w/Egg and Chen. the weather ended up being perfect for hotpot b/c it was right after the nor'easter (a term i never knew btw...i was told it by Stitch and i thought it was some BU term, but then we watched the news and everybody was calling it a nor'easter, so i guess it's a real word) and everything was still damp and chilly. it was Kik's 1st hotpot but she enjoyed it and so did everyone else. afterwards we had some delicious cake from Astoria which Bubby and Kiks brought from a local bakery. the cake was so cute too, saying "happy easter" on it. overall it was a great Easter hotpot and maybe the creation of a future tradition?
