my “chor-gong’s” birthday! for the uninitiated, chor-gong refers to great-grandfather. not dat my chor-gong reallie is alive lah. i was referring to the MD of my company. his 60th birthday i think. so becos his office is on the top floor, and mine is too, we were all invited to give him a surprise party. which wasn’t much of a surprise considerin we do it every yr and he alrdy expected it b4 hand. it was kinda funny actualli, we had to line up and sing the birthday song in English and chinese. coz my dept is right at the back, by the time we got there, the song was over. so there was a huge cake in the shape of the longevity peach. and he made a wish and blew out the candles. he was presented with a calligraphy scroll of the Chinese word “shou”. den there was champagne and everyone got a glass. i nearly made the mistake of holding the ‘cup’ of the glass with my palm instead of by the stem. the last time i did dat, my dessert wine got warmed up and tasted kinda flat. yar so we toasted him, and got to pick an ang bao from this basket he was carryin around, except dat inside no money juz sweets. den he picked a 4D number aso, which i din buy coz i think it’s not a very nice number and shure wun open haha. there were some reallie cute mini sandwiches as well. dat’s all lah, den i juz escaped to my seat and continue with my work. ooh but later in the aftnn, Hilton Hotel sent him a cheesecake!! woah Hilton cheesecake is supposedly the best of all, so every1 was kinda excited and rushed to the pantry and lucky my dept was right beside the pantry. hm i juz shared a bit with my colleague lah coz not enuf. i wld hv gobbled the whole cake down if i could haha. nah but it wasn’t dat fantastic lor, dunno why they like it so much. my colleague say cos it’s rich, but for me it’s all nice good food dat mks me happy aft i eat it. quality wise it din seem as fantastic as they mk it out to be.
