boon's log 2510.07: Happy Father's Day 2010

Happy Father's Day, 2010.

Wow, has it been 3 months since my last entry? Anyways, Happy Father's Day to all daddy-o's (and Daddies-to-be). Our family's been blessed with another little one - eV's turning 2 months next week. How time flies - oh, and that also explains why there's been 3 months of silence :).

My parents recently came back from Shanghai, after visiting their Expo. They showed me the map of the Expo and I was awestruck! The size of the entire expo is truly mind-blowing (!!!). Indeed if one were to really explore each and every country there is in the Expo, it would have taken months! Gosh... Looks like China's outdone themselves again! Here's the official site - http://en.expo2010.cn/. My parents only selected a few countries to visit and that itself took like 4 days. They were saying that the Queue to get into the Japan Pavillion was a whole 4 hours! My mom was humming to one of Annabelle's favourite Disney tunes - Almost There (from Princess and the Frog)...

They brought back tonnes of gifts from their trip (as usual). And one of the soft toys (a gift from my uncle - who went together with them) was the Expo's Mascot (pic below). Annabelle called up my uncle to thank him for the gift. She said, "Hi Pek-Kong, thank you for your Bacteria!" All of us around her immediately broke into laughter! The toy does look like those bacteria portrayed in the television advertisements... It makes us wonder what the mascot really represent... :)


Bacteria from China.
