Happy Birthday Old Boy

It was a hectic afternoon yesterday with stops in the ward, followed by a visit to my friend's birthday barbecue and picking up my sister at the airport on her return from Disneyland Hong Kong.

The birthday boy was Syahril, my roommate from Sheffield. Currently, he is a Neurosurgeon in UKM Medical Center. He was away in England on his last birthday and today, he invited us over for his barbecue. But since I was heading to airports straight after, I had to come alone.

No. He did not have wagyu beef for the barbecue. But the dessert was expertly prepared by his wife. A couple of items - cream caramel and Oreo cheesecake. Heaven!

Arrived and chilled

Arrived and chilled. The kelapa jelly was a big hit. So was the kuey teow. Met a few friends from England, but the biys were getting hyper again. Help!

Don't worry Syahril. We are on our way!

Supposed to have tea with an old friend

... but instead, we were stood up.

One of our friend, Itul who was doing a fellowship program in Radiology in Canada returned home to Malaysia for a holiday. She will be back in the UK to start her new post there in a couple of weeks. My other buddy, Syahril and Yatt decided to invite a few of our close circles for tea over at their place in Bangi. However, at the last minute, she called to cancel. She is going for a karaoke session apparently ....

Anyhow, we still had a feast. Yatt really know how to prepare the lasagna. To top it all off, is the treat of coconut jelly. It was heavenly. Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me ....
