TAB and Alvin - 22 Aug 2008

The August month sees the birthday celebration of Tan Ah Beng and Alvin Chua. The group had a dinner to celebrate this joyous occasion in Taman Rashna Restaurant. All were present, except to Vincent who was in China, even the ELUSIVE Daniel Tan was present too, most probably like SH Ang said, because of TAB's stature? How can???

Here are some of the pictures taken. Apologies because apparently, the new handphone despite having higher pixel but is not forgiving to the slightest shake of hand or movement on the part of person/s in the lenses. Most of the pictures turned up blurred. Hopefully, Michael will have some clearer ones so I can upload it here.

The customary 4 season dish.

WK, MN, KK. The hand that entered frame and taking the food was AU's hand.

The Birthday Boy - Alvin Chua. The camera captured even slight movement, probably need to do some adjustment on the capture.
Second take, this time better. The right is Henry and the left is Daniel Tan.
Sauna in the room, not. It was the prawn having sauna.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TAB AND AC
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU......

Oh, a small note, during the dinner, AU mentioned about a measurement while playing games, I was thinking hard and I realise how the word come about already.

The word AU mentioned was "lengking" - a measurement unit from thumb to pinky. I just realised that pinky is called "kelengking" thus the word "lengking" must have been derived from there, ie, "kalau sampai (ke)lengking, awak menang."

Following are the photograph taken by Michael, digital camera, so I think the quality slightly better.
