50 comes only once in your life

It was a big surprise for everyone especially for the birthday "old boy" Roger. The party was planned but his wife Kiran held the guest list close to her chest. So when Fred, Willem and Menno showed up at the doorstep, everyone was cheering with joy. They flew in from the Netherlands and Australia specially for this event. Afterall 50 comes only once in your life, said Fred, and Roger is the first one amongst all pioneers of Magnus to reach this important milestone. Looks like the once young and fearless Magnus pioneers are entering the era of vintage wine. However that is not the end of the surprises. At 10pm, in came Lorna and Marc Voskuil, aka Voxhole. They are back for good from the Netherlands. It has been hard birnging up a young infant for working couples with no assistance from friends, relatives and domestic help. Marc is going to take a sabatical.

Kiran custom-made a very special cake for Roger. The little figurine on the cake featured a black guy in diver's suit with 6 hands, one holding his trademark Nokia communicator handphone, the other book, another laptop, and steering wheel and others. Everyone had a good laugh. This is Roger true and true - always multi-task and proud of it - but drives all of us crazy.

I guess Mr Roger owes his wife a lot in this celebration in many other things . She is great!
