June seems to be a very productive month. Here are June birthdays I know of and there may be some out there that I am missing, all in the month of June:
June 1 - Lilian Tay
June 2 - Doris Tay
June 3 - Lai (San Ramon)
June 4 - Florence Tay and Auntie Nik (San Ramon)
June 6 - Moi
June 7 - Hong Bee
I know Danny and David also celebrate their BD within the space of the first week in June. Could one of them be June 5? And Johnny Tay in Ho Chi Minh has his birthday in June too but not as close as the lot above.
Well, yesterday's invitation to Keng was of course for Nik's birthday. They had a self serve buffet spread and two tables of mahjong kakis, most of them from Hong Kong. While the kids (boys outnumbered the girls like 2 to 1!) make a racket with the playstation, we ended up chatting to a new friend originally from Macau but his wife is from Singapore, Opera Estate no less. He was very friendly and the Man and he spent hours talking about golf, fishing, food and schools in California. Then Lai and Lay Keow came and we ended up cracking all kinds of jokes as usual. Lai really is a humourous chap, full of funny ideas, much like UJ. Nic has this intriguing idea of putting Lai and UJ together to see what kind of chemistry will ensue. Actually, I think it is definitely worth exploring. The rather unfortunate thing is, by some weird twist of fate, just when YY and UJ arrive in San Ramon in August, the Lai's leave on the same exact day for Singapore. The twain are destined to stay apart, maybe for the sanity of those around them :).
The gamers went round after round of mahjong so by the time Nik was ready to cut her birthday cake and we can belt out the song with gusto, it was about 11 pm. While those with kids start to take their leave, the diehard gamers started on yet another round of mahjong. Looked like it was going to be an all-nighter.
