Joe is 61

We had a lovely dinner with Mervyn and Yuet Sum to celebrate Joe's birthday. But that evening at klpac, it was quite hilarious withthe staff chipping in and buying Joe a bottle of Vegemite for his Vegemite cake - 3 slices of bread spread with vegemite and stuck together with 3 candles that won't burn out. Why 3? Don't ask me - ask Ian the creator.Then came the real cake of strawberry n cream but Joe did not get even a piece. Finally a video clip with some members saying what does OAM mean - there were many Old Angry Man, Old Australian Man, Chris who can't take a brief said Old Aged Pensioner, I said Orang Anak Mami, whatever that meant - Michelle said - it does not have to mean anything Joe becaise you are so charming, just stay charming always- to which we all vommitted!!
But the evening before, after the press conference at Lot 10, Ming Jin, Yue May, Shalu, Joe & I walked to the Lebonese restaurant at Pavillion and had a hearty meal of Joe's favourite food. By the time we walked back it was almost midnight just in time to buy a box of Hagendas, placed one candle on it, and all ate by the roadside on Bukit Bintang - felt so young again. Thank you Joe for having so many who love you.
Hope this is an unforgetable birthday?

BLACK EYED PEAS for ALL!!

Greatnews and thank you Dato' Seri Rais for reversing the order. There'll be quite a few young people and not so young you have made very happy.

This morning Joe & I were at our favourite radio station BFM to record an interview with Joe 'cos the man shares his birthday with BFM - September 4th, quite a few decades apart though. As usual we had fun with the beautiful Shazmin. I was just tere to sibok and interrupt Joe as and when. I am just a slut for radio. I just love the mic, that's why I never shy away from radio interviews, especially the clever ones!



TODAY September 3rd we from TAS will be at a press conference at the ROOF TOP of LOT 10 when Tan Sri will launch their newest space for the complex. Judging from the photos sent in by Douglas Wong, it's beautiful, both day & night. I can just imagine what it'll look like when it rains.

Lookout for the opening of The Actors Studio at Lot10!

31 AUGUST 2009

Joe and I spent a wonderful time at home, just the 2 of us and the 3 cats plus the hords of fish outside. Joe slept a lot and I played my computer games Mahjong, Bejeweled and more of the same. The day befor as we were shopping at Plaza Damas we bumped into Mahmood and his beautiful wife Rogayah. They look so well, trim and well groomed. Mahmood told me he saw my father's picture in the Sunday Times in an article about MARA and UITM where all the principals were listed. That was a nice suprice, so I saw it - BASHA MERICAN - so handsome, so intelligent! I'm glad they still remember you Daddy!

Good news! Hamelet has found a home. :)
