Good luck Christian!

I spent last weekend with my cousin Christian. It's really hard to believe, but he moved to LA! It was pretty sudden and I had only heard of it a week before. He moved to form a vocal group down there, so hopefully they'll make it big one day!

Saturday night was his "surprise" party thrown by Lylline at Dave and Busters, which ended up not being a surprise because he accidentally ran into one of his friends in the washroom while the rest of us were waiting in the dinning area. Oh well. Ahah.
It was my first time ever going to Dave and Busters and just knew it as the "Chucky Cheese for kids" which it really is actually. Ahah

The food was quite pricey, but it did it's job and filled me up for the rest of the night. One of the cheaper dishes besides salads (which don't fill me up) that I chose was the Goldenfingers (aka. chicken fingers and fries). The total came up to almost $18 and I only got water as a drink! Why? Because of HST ... AND the extra 16% added because we were a group over 8 people. Laaaaame. Sorry, no tip for you =]

Entering the game room was pretty overwhelming! There was soooo much to do and I hadn't been to any sort of arcade for a couple of years!

Based on my experience, the "must go to" games would have to be...

Skee Ball

Always been a favourite since my Chucky Cheese years =]

and

Jump Rope Jackpot

Definitely, the most played game for me and Jewel that night! We both were able to make it to the "T" when it was spelling JACKPOT... but we never were able to get the Jackpot though =(

I would've played DDR there IF they actually had it. They had this other thing almost like DDR but the arrows were diagonal. It was weird. I did not want to try it.

In the end, I did earn up enough points to get a decent prize =] I thought that maybe the best think I would've gotten was like.... candy... or a key chain. But no, I was able to get a VERY soft Curious George pillow case... that was a pillow case for a body pillow. So it is pretty big and works well as a blanket. I don't own a body pillow =(

The next day was his good bye party with the family. Basically, A LOT of people packed into one tiny room eating, talking, and watching TV. It was actually very hot on the main floor so all the cousins moved into the basement for a little while to witness Christian cutting my brother's hair.

I'm used to hearing friends and family going out to other countries for very long vacations that are weeks or months long. It's always okay, because you know they will come back home eventually with stories to tell and everything will be just as it was. But it's a very different feeling knowing that they won't come back home for a very long time. And if they do, it's too short.

Never take any of the time with your family or friends for granted. Cherish every moment!

I'm gonna miss you a lot cuz! Good luck!
