Richard’s 80th Birthday.

Children Raymond (left) Angeline ( in pink) and Robert (in black shirt) with dad Richard and mum Alice and their children.

What do you say about a 80 year old man who moves around in a wheelchair, plays Scrabble on the computer AND  a computer game, Zuma which is a tile-matching puzzle video game AND loves to do crossword puzzles AND goes up to Genting Highland every 6 to 8 weeks for a 2 night stay.

You bake him a cake and show to everyone how he spends his time.

“I thought of something special and unique for my dad” and that’s what his daughter Angeline did for her father Richard Hor for his 80^th birthday.

She made him a simple white cake (maybe not so simple) which had a Scrabble board, her dads icon of the computer game Zuma (that’s how he keeps his mind active), his days as a stringer with the Straits Times and later the Herald, his favorite fan club his Family and books depicting Fiction (I love to read) and Accounting ( he was a commercial studies teacher).

Richard was born in Tronoh, Perak, worked 6 years in Pekan Pahang and met his wife Alice in Kuantan, had 3 children Robert, Angeline and Raymond, retired and at 58 converted and became a Catholic.

It was a most memorable occasion for Richard when Parish Priest Rev Fr Joe Stephen and Fr Robin were present together his family, siblings and friends.

Guests were given lottery tickets for the next upcoming draw and it turned out to be a novelty for many of the guests.

For many it was opportunity to share joyous and a memorable afternoon.
