Surprise Party

A colleague of mine invite my wife and I to her husband's surprise birthday party. This is the first time we go out together to have "fun" leaving our boys behind. We are starting to live a more independent adult lives again after 13 years bringing all our boys out with us. It feels funny. More like something is missing rather than liberating. The other Chinese couple was his colleague at work. She work as an application/training person in Drager. Her husband is a mechanical engineer with an Indonesia power company. The rest were Australians, New Zealanders and other Caucasians. Sorry! I almost forgot. There is an Indian who was born in Penang, grew up in the Caribbean and is an Australian now living in Singapore.

Kate is an excellent organiser. She hired a belly dancer for the party and set up her iPod Nano with Bose for the music. The belly dancing gets everyone's attention. The moves were seductive and will take lots of practice as its uses muscles we rarely use. The audience were engaged one at a time. We had a good time.

Singapore has a big foreign community. There are so many foreigners living and working here.
