::Happy 2006 everyone!
sorry for the late post, was dead tired after NYE..
had the family gathering in the afternoon.. was also my cousin's birthday.. yea, he's born on Dec 31st.. definately would be the youngest when he goes into Sec 1 on tues.. (and we thought Dec 25th is the worst)
anyway, met up with Lam and gang for the countdown.. went to PS for something to eat.. got BK while the others ate at Yoshinoya.. had to use the toilet, so went off first.. Keck called to find out where I was then passed the phone to Alfred.. it was what I heard inbetween that really made me sad.. "Why should we go look for him?!".. I didn't mind Alfred's not so polite way of hurrying me, but at least he shows he cares.. can't say so for the speaker of that line..
went to sit down to think.. and to answer that rhetorical question, "because thats what friends are for".
Bernard and OYL went to look for me.. Bernard cause I asked him to and OYL cause of his own ego.. maybe Bernard's too caught up talking to OYL, but I don't think he didn't notice my body language and tone listening to the ratio of words spoken between the 2 of them..
Marina Bay was what I had feared, jammed pack of people.. the others finally caught up with us and we proceeded to the Sheare's bridge.. Lam and Yu Bin came up to me and ask me what was wrong.. at least I know who my true friends are..
well, the bridge wasn't as crowded as National Day, but it was still crowded.. decided not to take any pictures of the fireworks judging by the amount of cameras there.. actually thought of having a group photo with the fireworks as a background, but there simply wasn't enough space... so gave up my spot for a couple..
the fireworks started off without any warning? and according to Lam and Yu Bin who went down to the bay area, there wasn't any countdown.. well, the fireworks video filled up my 1GB card.. had to delete some pics to make room for more pics..




think I forgot to turn off the long shutter.. so the streaks you see there are the result of camera shake.. but at least the background can be seen.. everyone was in a festive mood, wishing each other Happy New Year even to strangers.. somehow, I wasn't in that mood.. yes I know how I am in that kinda mood, I would have also wished strangers Happy New Year, shaking their hands even perhaps foaming other people if I had foam with me.. Alfred and Shaun would know about that.. but I wasn't..
met up with the rest at Esplanade.. Lian Jie was with his colleague and Gary was suppose to be with them.. so I guess Lian Jie had a great time watching the fireworks with his female friend.. great for him..
met Saiful who was also there with his friends.. haven't seen him since M8.. walked around Marina Square to find something to eat.. eventually got to Carl's Jr and settled down.. ordered something to eat so Gary thought that the drink on the table was mine.. where infact, I only order a burger.. hahaa..
took Taxis back to Keck's house to spend the rest of the night.. played on his electone for awhile.. frequently ran out of keys, so had to make do.. before you know it, the night was almost up.. wanted to catch the first sunrise of the year, but they didn't see from my view.. so went alone to catch the sunrise..


dawn of a new year
what a gloomy start to the new year.. but at least the air was cool and crisp..
