Happy Birthday Sophia!

Every year, whether we need it or not, we have a birthday. Sophia reached a big one recently and we brought together a small group of friends to celebrate.
The event was brunch at the Fullerton Hotel. http://www.fullertonhotel.com/
I must say it is one great brunch.

Sophia was joined by good friends Shailesh and Ruchira, James and Debbie and the Brown/Heeley family Christopher, Cathy, Kim and Tom. Here are Christopher, Shailesh and Cathy.


The free flow of Tattinger's Champagne makes the brunch most enjoyable. I think Ruchira would agree.



Sophia explains some of the many aches and pains that come when one hits the half century mark. Debbie looks on with amusement.





The food is amazing from sushi (mmmm my fave) to salads to Western, Asian and Indian dishes, to fresh seafood to one of the best cheese tables ever to be found in Asia and of course desserts too.



Christopher pauses to pose before scarfing more cheese.


Shailesh is always smiling.


I think even Kim had a good time.


James looks on as Sophia scolds me for putting too much food into my mouth.


Kim and Tom made a special gift for the birthday girl.



A very cool card and notebook - hand made and priceless




We were there for so long Tom grew a goatee...or was it a result of the chocolate fountain?


A lone candle - the true amount would be a fire hazard.


Even at her advanced age, Sophia can still blow out a candle!


Yes, I was there too. After about three hours of eating and drinking it was time to go home and take a nap.
