It was rather weird to be the only person who wasn't a parent or High School Student friend at the party but it was lots of fun nonetheless. And being introduced to all his high school friends was funny. There were three Helens. All from St George. What the? Oh girls, seemingly so shy around the boys. It's a bit like when you are given all this advice and wisdom that you don't understand at the time. And suddenly, as you get older, these things click into place... hard to describe. But it felt a bit like that last night. As in I was the slightly older person, who would have been given all this advice as a teenager only not to understand until I was who I am today. (Deep, I know...)

Basked in the glory I received for the amazing LoL cake. Yes!!! It was a good idea after all. They all seemed to know what it was, etc even though I didn't! Thank you google and pinterest for the images. Hahah! When teenagers act like excited primary school kids again over something so mundane as cake, you know it is a good effort!

I had to take a photo of all the people taking a photo of my cake. These things made the long hours worth it. And of course when people come up to me and ask if I can make their birthday cake. Marketing in its truest form. Free.

I distinctly remember the last time I went to the Garden Buffet at the Star. I was around about the same age as Leonard. I.e., senior high and thinking this was one of the cooler places to hang out. Whole bunch of people who I thought were my friends, I guess they were at the time. Gosh, haven't I changed since then? Good to know that some things don't and these places are still popular with older teens. I guess it makes sense? Where else can you eat copious amounts of food on a limited budget. And I am sure the guys would put a pretty decent effort in getting their money's worth. I know I didn't last night... at all. Just wasn't so appealing to me.
