And more cakes…
Venue dressed to the nines…
The Guests…
And of course, the celebrators!
25 February 2011, Friday, Waziria Medical Square, Kepala Batas, Penang, Malaysia. A few months ago, the institution that we’re working at came up with an idea to gather its community at the end of each month, outside its classrooms, conference halls without any lectures and meetings and office works but to party for our colleagues who were born on each specific month.
It was the very first time for the Faculty of Medicine to sponsor and host (I was one of the emcees) this monthly birthday celebration. With only less than a week to plan, we prepared almost everything, rolled up our sleeves, did multitasking even the blowing of balloons for the love of our jobs. *bow!* :D
What made this birthday party extraordinary?
How often would you see medical doctors who are educators as well from different countries unite in blowing of balloons? hehehe…
How many companies celebrate their employees’ natal day all at the same time? How many times have you spent your birthday in a foreign ground with celebrators from various walks of life, cultures, religions and colors? How frequent can you experience a potluck party of food from different nationalities? (oops, that reminds me I forgot to capture the spread at the buffet table!) Occasion with elements such as these doesn’t happen even on a yearly basis.
I must admit, I enjoyed it! :D
:D What’s your most memorable birthday celebration?

PS : Of course, nothing beats special occasions spent with your family and loved ones. :D
