Vice President Jusuf Kalla received a book and photo for his 66th birthday on Thursday.

"I am very surprised and I will read the book later in the car," he said.

Written by Antara news agency reporter Jaka S Suryo, the book, "Triple A: ^YKetawa Ala Kalla^Y" (a joke ala Kalla), is a compilation of soft articles on Kalla's activities from 2004 to 2008.

The photo titled "Stay Fit" was taken by a one of Kalla's press staff, Muchlis Hasyim. It depicts the vice president getting a massage during his journey from Tokyo, Japan, to Jakarta.

Kalla's birthday was celebrated at a simple function attended by several people only including former minister for justice and human rights Hamid Awaluddin, Makassar Mayor Ilham Arief
Sirajuddin and six reporters. (**)
