James' Birthday Celebration - 3 April 2009

James' birthday in on 7 April but Carol decided to celebrate it way early on Friday, 3 April.. Why? I dunno.. Why didn't she do it over the weekend? I dunno.. But, I'm not complaining 'coz I won't be around. So, Friday's good!


I'd been sick the whole week and hadn't been all that sharp and it was on my train ride back to PJ was when I realised, "Alamak! Forgot to bring my camera.. again! Aiya.." N'er mind, have phone, will have pix.. not the best quality ones but pix nonetheless! Carol came to pick me up from the train station at 7pm and James was already sitting comfortably in his armchair, reading the newspaper when I got to her place.. with a shirt on! Like, wow! Then I found out that he's expecting a guest.. an important one, I reckon, if I may add.. important enough for James to keep his shirt on! Woo-hoo..


Carol started us off with some bites while waiting for the guest, who turned out to be James' business partner, and and mum to arrive. The guy called to say that he was stuck in traffic and since James' mum had arrived, so we went on to have dinner.

Then, dinner was served..


Seafood cocktail.. and there was wine, of course..

Followed by spaghetti and garlic bread..

James' birthday cake.. before candles and.. after candles.. ooh.. many candles.. very bright! Haha..

James, all smiles as he reads his birthday card from Jade..
One of the family..


James' guests arrived just as we were finishing dinner. Carol & James chatted with him as he had his dinner. The cake came out, the candles were lit, a round of "Happy Birthday, James" was sung, James makes a wish (I bet he didn't!), blows out the candles and cake was served. Excuse me, I still a bit blurr from the medication..

I finally left at 10pm.. just in time to catch American Idol! Haha.. Anyway, Happy Birthday, James.. enjoy your shirts! (Aunty Connie gor him a pastel blue work shirt and I got him a bright blue golf collared t-shirt)
