Happy BooDay!

You know it's time for another birthday (or farewell...) when you see one of these going around the office...

The creative circulation envelope starring BB as a teppanyaki chef

After the innumerable birthday celebrations held at the pantry, the Orange People decided to get creative and make full use of their resources.

They decided to hold the BooDay celebrations at the rooftop! (This also served to remind BB of his unforgettable rooftop tanning session with his twin.)

Anyways, everyone was told to wait at the roof at 8.45am while the other six packers were supposed to get BB upstairs on the pretense of 'having coffee'. But it just goes to show that men aren't equipped with the cunning that such maneuveurs require because everyone was waiting and waiting...

... with the sun shining and shining...

... and the cake melting and melting.

The official birthday cake's back... and melting!
(One candle is used for people whose ages go beyond 30)


KS doing her best to shield herself from UV rays

Some literally chose to be Slim and Shady

More shady people

Finally, after a phonecall from MN direct to the BooMan himself...

The Six Pack saunter upstairs

The main man

BB sweating on behalf of the poor melting cake

Everyone going *squint squint* in the glaring sun

So without further ado, the song was sung...

BB's eyeing the cake already

EL plays paparazzi too

*Puff*

Card and presents

Checking out the card

The name's B...

FC zoom-in

... Uncle B that is!

ROP and BC zoom-ins

Opening the presents: It's a black...

Superman tee! (Actually everything else turned out to be black too:
singlet, shorts and socks to... err... better match the almost-Bond theme!)


Soon after, everyone scuttled into the shade
for the cake-cutting and eating...


MN eyeing her favourite cake

Hungry people

BB hands out the first slice to KS

BB the consummate host

MV's aerodynamic hair

Oh the carnage, the carnage!

Meanwhile, in Le Orange Cafe, a private tete-a-tete was going on...

Looks like ML doesn't need the SDU services of BB

Everyone at Magnolia's!

The 'Thank You' poem that summed up the event:
This is written in appreciation,
For the wonderful birthday celebration,
Love the cool black presents,
But more than that....your presence.

Was surprised when I saw so many missing,
Thought the power failure sent everyone running.
First time I had it at the rooftop,
So good I didn't want it to stop.

Your well wishes on the card are sweet,
So too the design that's really neat.
Another year then for this ol' uncle,
33 years it is.... but it just keeps getting better! :P

M wastes no time

Spotted and overheard today at the canteen, M with his finger in one of his many pies (please don't take it the wrong way ;p ). Soon he'll run out of fingers and have to use his toes.

Wonder what her response was? :D
