Merry Christmas 2010!!

Merry Christmas!! Today is a joyful Saturday. Many of those working outstation are back in hometown & having gathering with friends. Crowds are seen in most restaurants & malls in Ipoh. When I arrive in Boston Restaurant at De Garden for a reunion of old colleagues, a Christmas tree is welcoming each and every customer at the entrance. This is certainly a beautiful night.
