At the bottom of the steps we were posing on was a pool of water. After the formalities of the group shot, Sunit suggested, "We could push everyone into the water, and continue the rest of the East Asia Regional Meeting in the pool."

The meeting that lasted 2 days brought people from all over the region together, and cultivated what we all hope to be fruitful partnerships in the field of ICT4D.

And Gay tied the knot with Daniel, in the presence of God and nature, and a bunch of people who love them. The ceremony was wonderfully simple, the reception intimate. Got to see Beyan and Alan again. And thank you Marc for the camera SOS.

Was able to upload some photos, check out their wedding album here.

New year was fireworks, food, frightened pets and flying pigs! Missed you, Clarisse and Eleanor!

Uploaded photos of the Bangkok-Singapore escapade to my photo album. Will also add Christmas and New Year pictures for the benefit of the much-missed siblings. Hope you guys all enjoyed your holiday celebrations. Here's to the coming year!

A text message from Nikki quoting Neil Gaiman: "May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books, and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art--write or draw, or build or sing, or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."
