This is our 2nd birthday celebration for our sweet and lovely Kitty! Lucky girl, she got her "perfect gift" (cos’ she told us what to get – saving our time and brain cells!) And we got a tasty chocolate cake + the biggest birthday card ever! Later that night, we went "REDBOX Karaoke" and sang our hearts for her till midnight! A funny discovery about our shy goody young boy, Ernest. He was 100% right when he said he cannot sing – cos’ this rock star RAPS! Trust me, he raps and he is not that typical quiet fellow at work! Mm…well, he didn’t do well for that "Endless Love" duet with our birthday girl! Haaaa….
Kitty is indeed popular – For the 1st time, we have inter-departmental friends joining us! It was great to have both Arthur and Audrey (both of them can sing so well!) with us that night! Especially the silly "bottom’s up, hand’s up dice game!" – It is not suitable for "old folks" like me. For a while, I felt so so young…! GREAT NIGHT (AND we still have 1 more bottle of Chivas untouched for Harshad & gang!)
Thanks Tracy – for editing and putting the "BEST FOOTAGE" here! Yes! We all have talent!

Guess what? IT IS MY ANNIVERSARY TODAY AND I TOTALLY HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT IT! (Last year, I took a day off and brought them to Disneyland: See last year entry) Shoot me! Hang me and punish me with lots of love bites!
No excuse this year, however, I was indeed very very busy clearing those dreadful weekly deadlines. Last week, I even reminded myself about my own Anniversary on the 24th – as it will be our 16th Anniversary. Believe it or not, I even shared my 16-year love tale to my new colleagues this afternoon!
CAN U IMAGINE I GAVE FELICIA "A WERID LOOK" WHEN SHE SERVED ME A HEART-SHAPE CAKE BY THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT? The 1st thing that came to my mind was "Dim Ah? I thought Felicia doesn’t like me to snack after midnight and she is serving me CAKE??? Must be another sampling!"
She then whispered these words (sweetly) into my ears "Happy Bobojojo Day!" – OH MY GOD! I looked at the date on my computer – SHOOT! IT IS 24th NOV! I am so so so clueless – I totally lost all concept of time/dates! Honestly, I thought today is 20th! (What happened to my 21st, 22nd and 23rd!??) Shame on you – JOE – the first and last thing you think about is ~ FOOD, FOOD & MORE FOOD ~ at midnight???!!! What should I do now??? Mmm…maybe I should show my appreciation by finishing her cake tonight.

I am extremely busy + tired but really really happy! I am looking forward to my home trip in Dec and our annual Christmas holidays to JAPAN! (and that will be Felicia, Elkan, Tracy and Harshad’s virgin trip!) Right now, I am humming Christmas jingles while writing this blog – YES, the goody old festive spirit is back! And Christmas Mood is certainly stronger here in Hong Kong (the early winter plus so many beautiful Christmas Decoration)! Must be the cool nice weather…and of course, a perfect excuse for me to buy another toy for myself this Christmas! I must not be greedy – I would certainly be happy if Wahbiang clan is here…anyone?

Thanks to Tracy – we played "Baby Sitters" this weekend as she brought home 2 young toddlers (15-month and 3-month old)! Felicia and I were kinda worried for her as: 1st, she never had any baby-experience. 2nd, 2 toddlers??? We just wondered how she is going to manage these kids – especially when they were sleeping OVERNIGHT. (Those kids were Tracy’s friends’.)
Guess what? The experience was good… and for that spilt second – I felt like making my Number 2. Elkan handled these toddlers very well – not a slight hint of being jealous -when daddy was hugging and carrying young "Is-a-Bell-lah". These kids were great, very easy to take care. But poor Tracy, she has to sacrifice her Saturday date with her pilot BF and home-arrest with these kids. She was in and out of the kitchen making milk, clearing diapers and tugging the babies to sleep.
