Birthday in Singapore

With the family in the UK, I had to spend my birthday alone *sniff*. Thanks for all your cards & pressies everyone. Shame on you who forgot to send me anything (you know who you are).

Actually I spent my birthday on a business trip to Singapore. Had a boozey enough evening alright laced with Scotch eggs (thanks Jen).

The morning of my birthday, I pulled back the 44th floor hotel room curtains to be presented with a banner draped outside which congratulated me on the event of my birthday.
For an instant, I was touched, humbled and amazed how this was arranged. Then the ego-moment washed away as I realised this was not for me of course! It was a poster celebrating Singapore's independence day. Doh.
