Okay … so after maybe half a million pints of beer just now … I still have to struggle to upload few snapshots from a birthday dinner (just an excuse) cum beer session with my family and a couple of friends from ThirtySix just now. What was supposed to be a simple short dinner with Fitzand and wifey … turned up to be a longer ‘dinner’ when Jimmy from ThirtySix buzzed me for a ermmm … ‘short’ celebration. I ain’t one who celebrate birthdays but how can one resist a beer session on his birthday? 😀 Oh … I guess I still ain’t drunk to announce that there will be a cool film from Impossible Project coming real soon! Hehehehe! Stay tuned to ThirtySix’s website or their Facebook page for more info. I am sober enough not to disclose more info but … I got a pack of the film as my birthday present! Bleah!!!!

No … this ain’t taken with the new film but being the ermmm … ‘birthday boy’ … I was forced to pose for the camera. Argh!!!

This is my 40th year on earth and strangely … despite noticing some of my friends being upset/worried that they have/are turning 40 … I don’t feel a thing. Hahaha! Okay … I hear some of you going ‘GROW UP!!!!!’ but to me it is just another day. Honestly … all I can feel today (or at the thought of turning 40) was … a title copied from an Oasis’s DVD … “Lord don’t slow me down”. 😀

Anyway … enough of that crap. My colleagues bought me a super yummy lunch at an Indian restaurant today as well as giving me a super surprise present! Hahahah! Something that got me really surprised and yet … worried at the same time. They bought me 4 bottles of beer!!!! One was in the fridge … all chilled to go … and they even planned to get someone bring the bottle cap opener!!! Damn! Cool!!! Hahaha! I downed a bottle of it before I left office and burped all the way home! Thank you boys & girls!

Jimmy from ThirtySix … the culprit who made me look like some criminal in the instant photo. Duh!

It is hard to see the photography addicts sit still and enjoy a dinner when they have their cameras (or their *(@&#(*@&#*(@ iPhones) around.

Of course little Fitzand was around during dinner. He was super excited when he heard that his favourite ‘jie jie’ (sister) Noreen was going to be joining us for dinner. 😀

Fitzand went home (just some steps away) around 10pm with his mommy because the big fat bad daddy wanted to stay on for a little while with his buddies.

Oh damn … it is almost 2am now!!! Time to go take a shower and sleep. I will end this post with a big THANK YOU to all those people who made this day really special for me and also a big thanks to all the friends on Facebook for the birthday wishes. Thank you!

Hmm … wait. I did get myself a present today. Hahahaha! I finally found a mint condition Pentax 77mm f1.8 Limited lens (the silver version) for my K-x. 😀 Wifey doesn’t really know what to get for me … so she told me to go get one myself. LOL!  I got a little ‘addicted’ to their ‘limited’ lenses after using the 43mm f1.9 one for some time now. Since the X100 is still on my KIV list … I bought a lens! 😀 I hope it will come in handy this Saturday when I bring the little one to the Disney On Ice show. 😉
