Happy Birthday, Rtr. Soo Ling!

How could we forget the birthday of our "funny queen" Rtr. Soo Ling? But nevertheless we did.

Her birthday falls on the 17th day of February. On that day, unknowingly, Lloyd and me invited Soo Ling to have tea ("yum cha") together at Warung Asli, Bukit Tinggi. We totally forgot that it was her birthday. So our innocent Soo Ling came happily with the thought and expectation that we wanted to celebrate her birthday. But as the time passed without any hint of us celebrating her birthday, Soo Ling got impatient and asked whether we know that it was her birthday! I opened my mouth wide, speechless. (I did record it down in my diary, but some how I just missed it).

Feeling guilty and all that, Lloyd decided to arrange for another round of gatering, this time with the purpose of celebrating Soo Ling's belated birthday.

We went to the same place again on 23th February 2006 (Thursday). Rtr. Engtee, PN Timmy, PE Feldman, VP Hui Hui, Lloyd and myself were there too. It rained heavily that night but it failed to stop us.

Lloyd was very gracious and creative in organising games for everyone. They were basically ice breaking games to make everyone understand each other more.

After the games, we took out the refrigerated birthday day cake and cut it. Oops! We totally forgot about the birthday song!

Soo Ling's skill of cutting cakes leaves alot of rooms for improvement. The cake looked like a bowl of fried rice once she had finished cutting it. But we ate it happily nevertheless. Lloyd played with the cream (ooh... please grow up...)

He smashed a tissue full of cream on Soo Ling's face. But Soo Ling, as always, did not get mad but readily seeking every chance for revenge. Ha! (She was the only one whose face wet with cream that night).

We had a wondeful night despite all of us feeling tired after long working hours (Lloyd's tiredness was due to him waking up early that morning, that was at 10.00 am... what a lame excuse).

Look forward to having another round of party. Whose birthday next?
