**Image Prompt (Illustration Style, Funny Mood):**

At the top of the illustration image, add the line:

**"Happy Birthday, Bernie! May your slopes be snowy, your laksa spicy, and your topiary trimmed to perfection!"**

Now imagine this whimsical illustrated scene:

On a distant snowy planet labelled “Auckland”, Bernie—decked out in mismatched ski gear—is skiing wildly down a glittery, snow-covered Mount Eden, leaving a chaotic trail of noodle soup splashes (yes, he's trying to eat a bowl of laksa while skiing!).

In the foreground, his hedge back home has been humorously sculpted into alphabet letters (some hilariously wrong, like “W” backwards), with his son pointing and laughing while holding a book that says “How to Read Like Dad (Kind Of).”

On the left side, Bernie is seen mid-run, attempting to jog back UP Mount Eden—tongue out, exhausted—with a half-trimmed hedge clipper in hand and a dripping spoon of laksa in the other.

Aliens in the background wave happy birthday signs and blow snow-party horns.

Colorful, playful, with loads of silly details to discover—like ski poles that are actually giant chopsticks and birthday balloons tangled in power lines reading “Another Year, Another Mountain!”
