The Big Two Four – And I guess I now have no excuse not to cook

June 7, 2010

in Journal

It was my birthday yesterday- w00t, the big Twenty Four. I don’t really feel old, and I guess I shouldn’t. Twenty four is still young (at least that’s what I keep telling myself).

I was celebrating with a group of friends on the East side of Beijing, and they got me an awesome (much needed) 5-piece set of pots and pans! I think that is proof that I’m old- only old people would get excited about getting cookware for their birthday, huh? But it’s because currently we have one skillet, and like two forks in our kitchen. This is how guys live… lol. They also made me a humorous card with a picture of me chowing down on McD’s, and an exhortation to stop eating McDonalds; and that I now have no excuse to not cook meals anymore.


Zomg it even comes with a ladle! Haha.

Are you kidding me? 24 is old? The age is just in your mind, and you can always be whatever age you want. I'm always telling myself like this. heihei.

Your friends are so lovely to give you that present.

Hey, why didn't you post the card? I want to see the card!
