last sunday was the annual gathering for our gang of friends. we are an unique group of friends. ranging from 20 to 35. but yet we can share a joke together, tease one another, encourage one another. of course, it’s always a superb blessing to have a friend like Tristan who is rich and yet so approachable and generous enough to allow us to use his wonderful house to have a pool-side steamboat.

i had no idea at all. after our cg thanksgiving, we went to orchard 313 shopping mall to take a look. tried to ask the usual gang to come along, but everyone has their own agenda. tristan and jieyin have to attend a christmas party. gerald and kristie have to run some errands. peter and cherry have some personal plans. so only serene, kless and the kids were with me.
little did i know that without my knowledge, my dear wife has already planned for a surprise birthday party for me. the planning was 2 months ago, wow! she got all the close friends to come and celebrated for me at “Love the World” bristo bar.
the place was very nice and cool. 
my dear friends were there early to perform a live band ‘happy birthday’ song. i was totally caught off-guard. hahaa…let me introduce the band.
on keyboard, the self-proclaim “handsome” guy, Tristan Lin 
on guitar, the wonderful Gerald Tay 
on vocals, the beautiful JieYin 
the choir, Bruce, Shaun, Kristie, Cherry 
can you see my surprised face? 
the perfect gift from a ManU fan 
can you spot the difference? done by Peter Ching. 
the meal was pretty good 
the best friends in my 35 years. 
my greatest friend and fan! Klessis, i Love you! i LOVE you! I LOVE YOU!!! 
happy birthday Isaiah, you are 35 now! jiayou!! 
the cg celebrated my birthday last friday. after our cg’s thanksgiving luncheon.
nothing is happier than having my family with me. 
the card prepared by my good friend, Serene. super nice! 
every page has a photo of various cg members and their well wishes. so blessed. 
thank you guys for a wonderful celebration =)
it has become an annual event that all of us will be looking forward to. this year is special cos we have some new additions.
the theme for this year is simple, “we are one”. what i believe as a cg, unity is the most important thing to move forward and to stay strong as a group. so i wish that everyone in the group will continue to be unified in all that we do and also to be able to share our happiness and sorrows.
booked a place in thomson for our gathering. the place is very colorful and cosy. we had a lot of fun, playing games and sharing jokes. with all the children, 8 of them in total, not a second was quiet =)
kids are a blessing! 
exchanging tips on the most in-thing now, iphone! 
checking the menu, hmm…the desserts are good!! 
everyone took turns to carry the babies in the cg, thank God for members who are willing to share the burden.. 
the food…yummy! 
the gifts 
the family 
i really love all of them!! thanks for being such a wonderful friend for the past year! we will be moving to greater heights in 2010!
