had been a great new year celebration over the weekend. started off with a bbq at chingyang house on sat (30 dec). everybody from table 44, except alex, as usual, were present. though there was some unhappiness at the end of the bbq on sat, it was nonetheless a great bbq. and khia peng, dont worry. i understand. =)
yesterday, on new year eve, we went to the esplanade for the new year countdown and to watch the fireworks. 4 of us met up at chingyang place to swim in the evening 1st and boy, was the water cold or what. i was freezing and shivering the moment i entered the water. we swam for about an hour, before xy and i went for dinner and then met up with the rest of the group to proceed to city hall. as expected, it was super super crowded there. could hardly walk and squeeze our way through. couldnt even buy a drink because jason's marketplace at raffles city and giant at marina square was closed. had to turn to 7-eleven instead and i saw for the 1st time in my life the store personnel having to control the crowd and number of people entering the store to buy things. 12 midnight soon approaches and the fireworks display this year was fabulous and much better than that of last year. when it ended, we began the horrible task of squeezing with the thousands of people to the mrt station. by 1.25am, we finally made it to raffles place mrt station and took the train to paya lebar where we alighted and walked to fei fei wanton noodles for supper. supper having ended, 3 of us made our way down to east coast park where we stayed there till dawn. at 7.15am, we went to buy breakfast and made our way home. i had barely reached hall for 1 hr and here i am, blogging this entry. i am supposed to be sleeping now but since i am waiting for the clothes to be washed and am going out in 2hrs time. yeap i know it sounds crazy. out the whole night, came back, wash up and going out soon again. but thats me. i cant stay still indoors. i am a outdoor person. hence i reckon that its pointless to sleep as it will only make me feel more tired. and therefore here i am writing this entry. before i end off, i am going to list down some of my new year resolutions for 2007 and hopefully i will be able to fulfill them. 1 year later on this day, i will go through this list again (if i still remember. haha) and see how many i have actually achieved. here goes:
1. grow in the Lord
2. get better results
3. get a girlfriend
4. go to at least 1 of the places i listed that i want to go to in my profile
5. get more chances to drive
6. able to do the things i want to do
thats it for now. if anymore wishes or resolutions came to mind, i will post it down in my profile. Happy new year everybody. =)
