2009 is now history and many of you must have seen it off in style - I know that some friends in Sydney actually got themselves vantage sites to sit and watch the best fireworks in the world as they transitioned from 2009 to 2010 - yet others froze their butts off in good olde England and some of our friends in the southern states of the US of A actually had a wet new years eve!! Sudha and I went to a packed Madras Race Club to ring in the new year - the dance floor was jam packed, all 2500 sq. ft of it! Interestingly there were a fair number of friends in attendance that night - Ducky, Aparna and their beautiful daughter were there, as were Ivan, Bertha, Jovan and his fiance Kim along with some of his childhood friends who had come in from Australia. We also caught up with Dennis Houghton for a short while and then ofcourse there was Sattar, Jenny and the Begum who arrived only at 10pm that night from Australia - we had picked her up from the airport and brought her straight to the MRC.
The next night it was Sattar and Jen's turn to pick up Doc Madhu who arrived from Brisbane at the same time as the Begum had the previous day - as soon as they got home with Doc, the Begum, Sudha and I dropped by at Sattars' to welcome the good Doc! We didnt finish till well past midnight and at 0400hrs that morning I had to head out to the station to pick up my daughter from the station! Was I sleep deficit or what?!!! Thankfully Saturdays are holidays for me these days so I put it to good use and caught up on all the sleep over the next two days! Saturday night Jen cooked up the most amazing Paan Thay Kauk Swey, that most favourite of Burmese foods!
Hectic weekend it has been - heres hoping the year began for all of my friends with as much or more flourish than ours and wishing them all the very best for 2010.
