Birthday

Yesterday, 31st August was my birthday. Besides this day was shared with Tzu Yin and her son Shaqil, Chen Hooang - a famous celebrity in Taiwan. It happened that me Chen were borned in the same year but me just elder to him by hours.

I took a day off from work cos Joey, Jane and Raymond is spending the evening with me.

Laze around during the afternoon, the children together with their aunties upstairs caught me by surprise. They bought me a simple mango cake. My present - a simple artpaper but with the wishes from the family members plus Mrs Tay and Owen.

After a short hour with them, the gathering disperse as Yuva needs to go for her tuition guided by my eldest sister in-law.

Around 6 in the evening, we leave and head for Chinatown. Hopped onto 174, the bus journey went smooth till it reached Tanglin. The traffice became heavy and took us nearly 20 minutes to get out of Orchard road.

Finally after an hour, we reach Chinatown. Not Sure where we suppose to meet, we hung around the area waiting for the phone call.

Eventually, we decided to have our dinner at one of the steamboat restaurant. At a buffet price of $15.80, 5 of us sat down in their private room to start filling our tummies while waiting for Joey.

The food is nice, but just too bad air con is not cold enough. After a satisfied asumptuous meal, we took a short walk to the KTV - 10 Dollars Family Club which is a few streets away.

We got a very small room occupying 6 of us. The drinks was 10++ free flow. Unexpectedly, we were served a bowl of shark fins too inclusively. That was cheap and no wonder it was already fully booked by Tuesday. Yuva sang a few songs and Ajit slept soundly in between.

Oh drama started before the countdown to Teachers' day. They bought an ice-cream cake from Swensens. Guess what design they get for me? God! A chicken little cartoon for a 42 year-old lady.

Spelt out my 2 wshes for the birthday - to settle my debts earlier and be healthier, I kept the last in my heart. They play the birthday song, cut the cake, served the cake with Ray creating a good atmosphere.

The singing session ended shortly after 1 am. We then leave for home driven by Ray.
I have a wonderful birthday. Hope all my wishes do come true...
