boon's log 0110.07: Happy New Year 2010

A very happy and prosperous 2010 to all. I hope that you had a blast celebrating the new years with your friends and families. IL, Ab and I were at our Aunt's for the count down, with the rest of our rellies. It was fun - especially for the younger cousins - who, basically had a whale of a time! ;)

We spent the rest of the holiday weekend at my parents'. Ab had a wonderful time swimming with grandpa at the newly renovated (and impressive) RPGC. They really did a good job with the reno. They even allowed us to bring "Ooo-gway" into the pool with us - that was nice.

It was also Popo's 49th-day Prayers at the temple. Most of the rellies were back for the prayers. Thanks to Ab, she managed to lighten-up the entire atmosphere during the prayer sessions with her "charm" ;) We really Thank God for her. Everyone enjoyed her a lot... and i bet she also enjoyed herself too ;)

It was also a nice and refreshing, albeit short, reunion for the most of us before we meet again in a few week's time during CNY'10 - which I'm definitely sure will never be the same again.

Here are some pics...
