I did enjoy it.
Though it was just a simple lunch with my kids, Mommy and Jovy. I wish I could upload my birthday video here which Nissa took yesterday. I am sharing some photos instead.
Since pets are not allowed inside the restaurant, one of the waiters fixed our tables just outside the door.
Oh and yes, Nissa brought home a bagful of gifts some of which were given by my niece Liza.

I have refrigerator magnets and key rings again with lots of chocolates, a lovely blouse, condiments for Singaporean dishes,a big bottle of Neutrogena facial wash, Hainanese Kaya Spread With honey. Kaya is a sweet creamy coconut spread made from coconut milk, eggs, and are flavored with pandan leaf and sweetened with honey, Laksa and Tom Yam noodles.
And the highlight of course is purchasing a brand new Samsung phone, Samsung a20s which was newly launched last September 2019. And I won’t have to add a memory card. It has a 64 GB memory /4GB RAM. a triple camera (13MP, 8MP and 5MP)…lovely
It is always a joy to spend an important occasion with the family no matter how simple it is.
Happy Birthday Lovely Arlene

What a marvelous birthday celebration you had! Even Oreo was there! Thank you for posting the pictures. Your family is priceless.
The phone — a triple camera??? I used to think one was enough.

Hello Anne. Yes, it was a simple but joyful celebration. Ah, the cameras. The 5MP is for wide angle shots, the 13MP is the rear camera while you can use the 8MP for selfies but I am not into selfies. The Samsung A phones are the latest in the market. My tab is a Tab A too.

Thanks for that info. I didn’t know there would be a separate camera function for wide angle shots.

I haven’t taken any picture yet from it Elizabeth. MY last phone conked out on me. I have to replace it. My tab is purely for reading and Messenger but I use it too for texting and calls. Thank you so much.
