the 2nd day of 2007. the sun is shining and the weather is good. but iM couped at home. >.<
recalling the events from the eve to new year's day, i had a remarkably altogether different experience as from all of the past years. by 4.30pm of the eve, i've finally decided to go with my uni friends to count down, and whilst i had only set off at 4.45pm considering that our meeting time is 5pm, i was still the earliest to reach city hall =.= how wonderful can we all be sia.
altogether there were 6 of us present for dinner at the foodcenter beside the DSO, soph miao zhenyi me and the pair of lovebirdy cCni. thickskin as we all can be, we happily sat there for more than 2 hours slowly enjoying our shared dinner whilst dozens and dozens of 'vultures' were all around preying for empty seats. from 3 joint tables for the 6 of us, we had to reduce to just squeezing to 1 table. haehehe! not too bad, just enough space for us all.
after much debate, we decided to go some coffee place and slouch at their couches till the other 2 pairs of lovebirds come. wohoo~ though we had only slacked there doing nothing much other than chatting and reading fairy tales (yeah, from story books found in the cafe), it was of much fun and laughter for the entire time.
just too bad that it had drizzled for quite some time that night. though we had manage to seek shelter just in time, but the drizzle had prevented us from venturing much further to a nicer spot to view the fireworks. well good for me still, coz eventually after setlling on Shear's Bridge (along Esplanade drive?), i've spotted my hubbers clique. great! else i really wouldn't know how possible in heaven's name can i meet up with them in that messy crowd after count down.
yes, coZ they'll be coming to my house after count down. party after party :) less than 1 minute after count down, i've shaked all the hands of my uni group of frens (formality? loL~) and left with the hubbers. xRu saM wanL & kaiY. woot! majong majong. but it took close to 2 hours for us to reach back my house. good gathering. laughing and all =)
the fireworks was good, but not as nice as those i had seen from clark quay and esplanade on nationday06, and the count down 0506. yeP, was with the Hope people for the last countdown at the bushes along Kallang River and facing the esplanade area to watch the fireworks. other than having been blocked by some of the lower (and fatteR) buildings, the view was fabulous. with water in front of you, you seem to have the entire sky filled with fireworks to yourself. having our own space was still much better than being squeezed in an overcrowded bridge. oh and surprisingly amongst the crowd, i saw the Hope people this year as well, with Tim leading them all this time round. oOooh.
Happy new year:-)
