Lately we celebrated Rock's Birthday at a Japanese Restuarant. The ambience was good the food great but its the people present that makes it memorable and enjoyable. It is always wonderful to have families around you in any celebrations. Here is Rock cutting her Birthday Cake from Sharlene and Chit. Too bad that our son Jay and daughter Dawn could not be there.
Rock's brothers and sisters were there to share the joy. Ruby came all the way from Germany to attend the party but her husband Hans could not make it. Sorry to have miss you Hans.
The food was great and let these two brothers show you their expressions!
We had a magic show by Jonathan the home-grown, self-taught magician. He is really good and we were all dazzled. I sincerely believe that one day he may even make it into Mondo Magic.
The kiddies shown here are our third generation mingled with the second generation.
So far are Rock's side of the family but my side of the family were present too.
Really we all thank the Lord for keeping us together as one big family.

Quite busy recently so had been 'Missing In Action' since Sunday. Rock's sister Ruby came back all the way from Germany to celebrate Rock's birthday! What a wonderful sister she is and we sent her off last night. For the last couple of days, we had been rushing around for last minute shopping for some local goodies for Ruby to bring back to Germany. I guess no matter how long you have been living in a foreign land, the call of local goodies is always strong! The night before Ruby flew off, we had a Durian party! For the benefit of those who do not know what is Durian, well it is a local fruit and many says that "It stinks like Hell but tastes like Heaven."
Intend to put some photos of the great party we had for Rock but just got to wait until I have sorted out all the photos!
Recently I posted about the ABC's of Care-giving and for the alphabet 'J' for Joy, I mentioned about finding a Handicapped Parking Bay. I suppose most of you thought that perhaps there were insufficient provision of Handicapped Parking Bays. Well that is true in one sense but that was not what that irks me at all. The real problem is that our public is not sympathetic to the Handicapped and even shamelessly deprived us whatever little provision there is available.
You can see from the photos, that the Handicapped Parking Bays were taken by the Non-Handicapped just because the car park was full and the Handicapped Bays were vacant! Perhaps you may noticed that in one of the photos, the Handicapped Bays were chained-up to prevent these uncaring people from using but yet they still parked behind the chain! So what's the use to the Handicapped for we are still unable to get into the parking bay. I suppose only in my country, is there a need to chained-up Handicapped Parking Bays and that indicates the level of Civic-mindedness here isn't it?
The question that begs an answer is where are the security personels? How can they allow such things to happened? Perhaps these uncaring drivers are such nasty people that even the security guards are scared to confront them for fear of being beaten-up? Of course if that really happens they can still go to the Police! Anyway that is another story for another day. Well I am sure you may ask perhaps these cars were really belong to handicapped people but I waited for them to come out and confirmed that they were not, moreover there were no Handicapped Stickers on the cars. I too dared not take a picture of them driving off for fear of being beaten-up! Road Bullies or Car-park Bullies or perhaps one day you may find Handicapped Drivers Rage happening.
For us,, Joy is really about finding a Handicapped Parking Bay for we seldom go out due to the various challenges of 'going-out' plus getting a parking bay is already difficult without other healthy able-bodied people trying to give us a run for the money!
