Abstract
At 10:30 p.m., after all the table servers finished work, we set off and walked all the way to Free Port Karaoke Bar to celebrate waiter Ah Kui’s birthday. Ah Kui suggested that we could go to Holiday (a pricier karaoke bar with better equipment) after payday on the 10th, with everyone contributing 50 yuan. Everyone agreed.
