Hey it’s Jeff’s birthday tomorrow! ( September 24)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JEFF !!!!!!!
You are now turn to the perfect age.
I wish you the best day ever.
Happy Birthday, Jeff. You see, it is 24th September in Hong Kong already. You can start celebrating your birthday even when it still has a few hours before it is officially your birthday in LA.
If you are in New York right now, your birthday celebration can start in 20 minutes’ time.
*********************
People in the West side of U.S. eg California start working very early because people in the East side of US eg New York has started working a few hours earlier.
In this case, people in New York are early birds. But why do they still have to speak so fast?
It is very funny if you listen to how fast New Yorkers speak. They cannot speak slowly even if they know that foreigner cannot catch what they say. They will repeat the same message at the same fast rate until you get the message yourself.
Best Regards
Betty 🙂
I thought it was 8:40pm in Los Angeles. How come the message said it was 7:40pm?
Was there something wrong with my computer? Or, Jeff’s clock? Jeff wants to be one hour younger than he is?

Truth to be told, I didn’t have the slightest idea that Jeff’s birthday is coming up.I mean ,no iota!

You know ,I have a history with Eslpod , we go years back. Still I don’t know the birth day of the funder of eslpod! It is a shame.

Just imagine Jeff with a cone-like red party hat ,with tassels hanging from top of the hat sitting in front of a big cake with icing and sprinkles
It is funny as hell.
