Myanmar New Year 2009

Time flies ! We are celebrating Myanmar New Year again.
seems not too long ago that they are celebrating it only.
This time is slightly different from the previous 2 years, no stage performance & not indoor.
They held an outdoor event at a park and the park is only 10mins train ride from my place.(Heng!) some people got to travel more than an hour to reach the place.
We had barbercue and some stalls selling Myanmar food and the event end with Lucky Draw.
as usual no Luck for the draw for me.

Forgotten to bring my camera along, so did not have much photos to post up.
anw, manage to grab 2 photos from his friend's camera.

I'm not in this pic, can you spot Soe and Jaivyn there?


me, 3 months later after giving birth to Hayden.
very fleshy hor?
