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?
