happy 2006!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

first post of 2006.

i welcomed the new year outside..the complete opposite of last year! last year i was relaxed and comfortable at shangri-la hotel at sentosa! this year..i was stuck and perspirey and quite uncomfortable at the esplanade. i think it goes without saying that last year's experience was a much nicer one.

i think half of singapore turned up at the esplanade.. -_-
we ( me & jack) managed to find some spot where i could at least see the river. the next 40 minutes was spent trying to dodge people trying to squeeze their way to the front..yikes! no space already still wanna push! ARrrrrrggghhhh...
the wait was made more unpleasant by 2 over enthusiastic party people with cans..yes canS of foamy, hair mousse like fake snow. -_-! nothing like snow at all.

anyways all that waiting and enduring of pushing and icky hair mousse flakes was worth it in the end..coz of the excellent display of fireworks after the stroke of midnight!
that was the only thing about this year that was better than last..the fireworks!
i love watching them..i'm gonna sound like some little girl but..they're so preetteeeeeeeeeeeee!!

one thing about outdoor countdowns...you have to be prepared to get really yucky and prepare to walk tons and fend of inconsiderate pushy people and crazy party people..huge crowds..and stupid teenagers. -_- most of them were amusing themselves spray fake snow around at people and themselves..hmm..so fun ya?!
i was leaving the place when a bunch of young boys were playing with cans of that horrid fake snow.. playing like idiots in the middle of nowhere..blocking other people's way and generally just pissing everyone else off with that disgusting fake stuff!
so i screamed at the top of my lungs..

IT's NOT CHRISTMAS!!!

twice.

christmas was 6 days ago.. besides that stuff is revolting.
i think i shocked jack abit with that outburst! i think anyone would be shocked..coz apparently it was preeetty loud.. it felt pretty good though..saying what's on my mind! ;P

after quite alot of walking around..in heels.. (f i hadn't worn the heels..i probably would have alot of trouble trying to see past all those heads at the esplanade!!)
we managed to get on a bus and got home close to 2am!

i was so glad to be out of the heels..coz i developed 3-4 little blisters..that didn't burst..thank goodness!!

after last night..i decided that i won't be doing that again for the next years.. i would rather book a room at the swissotel and enjoy the views from the balcony! =P or just drive up to whatever venue close to midnight and leave after!

anyways i hope everyone had a good time welcoming the new year..however you chose to!
and cheers to a good year for all ahead ya?
