Congratulations!

Yesterday, a close friend sms me to inform that his wife had given birth the night before!

Congratulations, Alvin! Welcome to the world of sleepless nights and changing of diapers! Hahahahaha!

Now that you have reached 'Fatherhood status, ENJOY! (What do I mean???? Nothing!!!!! Hahahahaha!)

Spoke to the friend (who had an operation recently) last night and glad to know he is recovering. Well, he's got his voice back! I told his wife that my peaceful days are over! Hahahahaha!

Glad to have you back , my dear friend!

I am not above human.....

There are some people in my life who are very special and no matter what they say or do, I will never be upset or angry with them. The truth is, I would just be disappointed with myself.... but not with them.

Well, you may think I am stupid (I am sure many would agree! hahaha!) but it's just me and how I value my friendship with them. (By the way, don't try your luck. You may not be one of the privileged few! Hahahahahaha!)

Still, I hope they understand... much as I would never be upset or angry with them,..... I am, after all, not above human......

Old Friend....

This evening, I called the friend in Portugal. He was surprised, yet very happy to receive my call. We chatted for a while and I felt really good to have made the call. Every year I remember his birthday and so far (touch wood.. hahahaha) without fail, I have managed to call him or email him. He was very touched and glad that I have continued to keep in touch. He turned 55 yesterday and I just realised that he is 1 cycle older than me (have you figure out how old I am??!!!).

I hope he will always get an email or call from me on his birthday. Though we may not get to meet, I am sure he treasure my friendship just as much as I treasure his.

Happy Birthday , My Friend (2)

This morning, I sent a sms to a dear friend in Hong Kong to wish him 'Happy Birthday' and followed with a call.

This friend used to play a very important role in my life and though that was in the past, his friendship will always be a part of me.

Happy Birthday, my friend!

Happy Birthday , My Friend (1)

Somewhere in Oct 1991, I was in Japan for a long break and I met this guy at a chinese restaurant near Asakusa. He had problem ordering the dish he wanted and I helped him. He was from Portugal (migrated from HKG since young). All these years, we have kept in touch through emails and once a blue moon, through phone calls.

I could barely remember how he looked like and I believe it's the same for him. Yet, that did not deter us from keeping up with each other.

Due to some family matters, he had to take a long break from work.

Yesterday was his birthday and I sent him a email. It did not occur to me till after the email that we have been friends for so long, though we have not met each other since.

I just want him to know that I appreciate his friendship and I hope that he is getting on fine.
