My Birthday In Singapore
October has proven to be a busy month. It has been made extra busy by the fact that I celebrated my birthday this month. I can safely say that this year I have celebrated my birthday more than I have in previous years.
It seems that people love to have a reason to celebrate, and a birthday is always a good reason to celebrate. For me that meant putting up with lots of cuddles, and a number of happy birthday wishes.
On the Friday night we went off to a local hotel to hear a friend of Carolyn from Work, play the guitar and sing. This was very enjoyable, she sang Happy Birthday to me and then asked the patrons to guess my age. 72 years old took the cake. The gentleman who thought I was 72 came over as he was leaving and asked me, “How old are you really?” When I said, “49.” He laughed and said, “and I am 35.”
On Saturday we had a holiday, it was Hari Raya the end of fasting for local Muslims. All of the Singapore Museums are open to the public free of charge on the day. Ruth and I spent a fun few hours visiting the Singapore National Museum. From there we met friends at Lau Pa Sat for dinner. This is one of my fun places to eat Satay out on the street and with a group of friends it is lots of fun.
We did have to work all day on Sunday, but Monday was our day off with and on Monday night we had the end of year dinner. This was the big occasion of the year for the company. There were a number of prizes given away as spot prizes. Ruth won a night for two in the Executive deluxe suite at the Elizabeth hotel. Wow! Then I won a digital camera! A very nice prize won by both of us.
Four days of socializing and fun made this year’s birthday one I will remember and enjoy for a very long time.
