Three bubble teas in three days... plus free desserts!

Jon, Steph, Erin, Vivian S., and I went for bubble tea at the Estea Beverage Club earlier tonight. Vivian knows a few of the family themes and in-jokes, especially since Steph showed her certain videos she posted online. When I put on some hand sanitizer in the car, Erin thought it was perfume! Nah, it's just that the smell is kinda strong. :P

At the bubble tea place, we noticed that "ladies" got free cakes on Thursdays after 6 PM. The quotation marks were on the menu, so we jokingly encouraged Jon to act gay. There were mousses, tiramisu, cheesecakes, and black forest cake which would normally cost $3.40 to $4.30. We definitely took advantage of the deal, and even tipped more later on because of it! (although they didn't have pudding slush with pearls, or raspberry / strawberry mousses) Jon ordered some red bean soya pudding tea with pearls... it looked kinda like barf, but it tasted good! I had some pudding pearl milk tea, and Erin's bubble tea didn't taste as good as she thought it would. (so I got some of that, plus a metric buttload of pearls!) We had mango cheesecake, blueberry cheesecake, tiramisu, and another dessert while talking and playing Big Two. (actually, I watched them play)

We put on nasal Quebecois French accents / Homestar Runner voices while talking (in French / English / Franglish) about everything from card games to whether this was one of THOSE dodgy bubble tea places that allowed smoking inside. (even though you're technically not supposed to do that) Vivian said that Steph was teaching her Cantonese and Mandarin, and even some simple characters! I remember when Becky taught that to Steph a couple of years ago: very good times! (like the time when they were calling JACK-FM "Jah-Lo FM" and taking five minutes to drive down a small block because they were laughing so hard! :P)

There were a bunch of Honger guys at a nearby table, and they'd appeared to leave without finishing any of their bubble teas. (one bubble tea was hardly even touched!) We were jokingly debating about going over there and taking them: Erin even made a move to do so, but the people came back from a smoke break. Erin's family and my family have known each other forever: our dads were high school friends. So we were telling Vivian about all the escapades Erin's known for, haha! Afterwards, we jokingly wondered if Vivian was kosher since she's Jewish. (we aren't anti-Semitic, really! :P)

Good times indeed! Now I must sleep, since we go for lunch tomorrow before dropping the lards off at the airport. Then Jon and I will go to Nathan's a little later on before English prayer meeting and Fellowship.. we're having a guest speaker in, which should be interesting!
