WEll, knowing Pook, I'm sure his day was filled with famil, friends fine wine and lots of great food! Best wishes.

Craig Jul 23rd, 2011 01:46 AM

I hear its a big one - a round number, multiple of 10. I'll leave it up to Pook to reveal. Happy Birthday, Pook! Enjoy your day. Jeane and I will toast to you here in Connecticut.

Thank you Mary and everybody else for the birthday wishes and thank you Craig and who ever else that got my birthday dinner invitation for "not" coming! My daughter had mistakenly invited everyone on Facebook and luckily no one unexpected turn up!

Had the best birthday cake ever - white chocolate "balloon" infused with white truffle and OMG it was good! As for my age... Hawaii _ _!

Happy happy birthday, Pook. The cake sounds super! And don't worry about age... it's just a number! (and my number is considerably higher than yours is ... haha)

Pook you DO NOT look Hawaii - - . Muffin sends his regards! Hope to catch up with you guys when I am in BKK mid Aug if you are around!

Happy Birthday Pook from Cheryl and I! Your birthday cake sounds yummy. When do you leave on your birthday African Safari?

That's so funny about Mony inviting everyone on Facebook.

Hanuman Jul 23rd, 2011 07:56 AM

Thanks everyone!

Kathie we leave next Saturday.

May I add my Happy Birthday wishes, along with all the regulars. Hope your special half century day was WONDERFUL. Your celebration trip sounds quite exciting, we'll have to change boards to read all about it.

Happy Birthday Pook! Hope you had a fabulous day. You have always been such a wonderful help to so many of us. Me especially! Can't wait to hear about your safari. That has always been one of our most favorite things to do!!
Blessings, Patty

Happy Birthday Pook!!!

Here's hoping that all your Hawaiian visitors never forget to bring some Hawaii Macadamia Caramel Popcorn for you!

Aloha!

Happy Birthday and Bon Voyage. Lots to celebrate!

Hanuman Jul 23rd, 2011 11:08 PM

Thanks again everyone and I'll report back after we return from Kenya!

Hanuman Jul 23rd, 2011 11:54 PM

I thought I share this, from one of the birthday card that I got:


When without money, keep pigs;
When have money, keep dogs.

When without money, eat wild vege at home;
When have money, eat same wild vege in fine restaurant.

When without money, ride bicycle;
When have money, ride exercise machine.

When without money, wish to get married;
When have money, wish to get divorced.

When without money, wife becomes secretary;
When have money, secretary becomes wife.

When without money, act like rich man;
When with money, act like poor man.

Man, O Man, never tells the truth:
Says share market is bad but keeps speculating;
Says money is evil but keeps accumulating.
Says women are trouble-makers but keeps desiring them;
Says high positions are lonely but keeps wanting them.
Says smoking & drinking is bad but keeps partaking;
Says heaven is good but refused to go.

What is life about?
At one, YOU are the top priority
At ten, academic excellence is the top priority
At twenty, getting dates is the top priority
At thirty, a good career is top priority
At forty, keeping your body in shape is top priority
At fifty, beating others at mahjong is top priority
At sixty, keeping IT up is top priority
At seventy, remembering something is top priority
At eighty, moving around is top priority
At ninety, knowing directions is top priority
At 100, having your portrait on the wall is top priority!

Wishing you all happiness!

Warm wishes to you, pook, from warm Singapore! (I'll enquire if SIA will grant you future "senior suite fares"...)

Now, all the best to you and your lovely family and healthy, joyous year!
