Happy Birthday To Me!! - October 31, 2006

Yesterday, while the world celebrated Halloween, I celebrated my birthday. It was a simple celebration, nothing grand. My wife and I just had a lunch out at Golden Fish Restaurant, along with some close friends. It was a short celebration because our lunch break is limited to just one hour. I asked my guests to order as they arrive so that their food could be prepared and served quicker. Short as it may be, everyone enjoyed their food and it really felt nice to be in the company of friends that nice.

Then in the evening, my wife and I had dinner at Ramada Hotel's Hyde Park Coffee Shop. We were actually pondering on dining at the hotel's Japanese restaurant but Hyde Park was serving a buffet of international cuisine so we opted for that instead. As it appeared, we made the right choice. The food tasted really great and I actually had several trips at the bufffet table. My wife ordered a glass of the house red wine and a glass of the house white wine for me.

To my guests during my birthday lunch, thank you so much for coming even with such short notice. To Mel and Puloy, you didn't have to, but thank you for the nice gift. So how old am I? Hmmm . . . next question please. Cheers, alexdpx
