Looking at the picture, I believe the people are having a birthday party. It can be inferred from the streamers which have the words ‘Happy Birthday’ that the people are holding in their hands. There are balloons with the number sixty all over it, so I guess it is probably the sixtieth birthday. Judging by the appearance, I would say it is the sixtieth birthday of the man in a white shirt with a bald patch on his head as he looks like the oldest.

From what I can see, the six people holding the streamers seem to be singing a birthday song. This is inferred from the woman in a black shirt sitting on the chair. Both her palms are put together, as if clapping to the rhythm. In the background, there are two women wearing the same clothes and one of them is carrying a tray with cups. With that I can infer that this picture is probably taken in a restaurant. I believe this picture is not taken in Singapore, as the picture shown on one of the menus on the table does not resemble any place in Singapore.

This party is probably ending soon as there is no food on the table and most of the wineglasses are empty. Also, there are pieces of confetti strewn on the table. If it wasn’t towards the end of the party, I believe the confetti would not be thrown as it might drop onto the food and beverages.

At the right side of the background, the lights of what seemed like a mini-stage are dimmed. It probably served as a makeshift stage for the people to use. One of the two men standing there looks amused with the Caucasians, as if joining in the gaiety.

There must have been other people celebrating with them too, as there are also balloons in the left side of the background. One of the woman holding the streamers looks very happy, but I don’t think she is one of the members of the birthday boy as she does not look like a Caucasian at all. Maybe she is their close friend or children’s friend, as she looks much younger than the rest of them. She looks very excited, unlike the other five. They group of them must have been singing the birthday song very loudly, as people from other tables are also looking at them. The woman in a blue blouse holding the streamers looked lost, she seems to be looking over at the woman on her left, as though looking for an answer. From the long scarves tied on each of their heads, I think they may have been using that makeshift stage for some activity, like singing songs, to keep the other guests and most importantly, the birthday boy entertained.

Looking at the blithesome expression on the faces of the people in this picture, I feel that having others, especially our immediate family members, is a blessing. It shows that there are actually people who love and care for us enough to celebrate the happy occasions in our life together with us. Life can be short, so all the more families should spent time together and leave happy memories. I think this party will definitely remain as a part of the happy memories of the people taken in the picture.
