Being 50 is GREAT!!! Having all my love ones around me. My parents strong and healthy and blowing my birthday candles together with me. My wife and sister arranging all the surprises for me. Feeding me with all the good food. My wife and kids telling me how they love me and how a great husband/Dad I am. Receiving hundreds of birthday wishes from all the people i care. My cooking show debut is right after my birthday. Celebrating my 1st birthday together with #Mediacorp Being able to wake up everyday doing what I like most! I can't ask for more. I'm so blessed!!! This birthday is so special! I will always remember this special day! Let's stay healthy and safe!
