Happy birthday, Peter and Jessie

Tonight's meeting turned out better than I expected.

I thought Lian Peng and Lih Juin would not be coming as they are probably exhausted from their Camerons trip but surprise, surprise, they made an appearance at 9.30 with roses for everyone. Camerons-mah.

It's also the birthdays of Peter and Jessie (Lian Peng's daughter) so there was also a cake by Andrew, our resident wedding cake specialist. Eric's wife, unfortunately, was down with rashes so she did not join us. Hope she recovers soon. I could sense that Eric, despite his usual cheerful self, was very worried for her.

Our teacher, Chris, is in Penang or something so tonight's merely an informal gathering. Besides eating, sharing and singing, almost everyone also sent messages giving moral support to Ju Liang via his blog.

It's past midnight when I reach home. I am typing this as my family is still watching a DVD which I have little interest in. Heard of Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing, the 1980s tear-jerker?
