2008 Is Soooo Yesterday

Quite literally...
2008 was so yesterday.

for as far as i can remember, in the last few yrs, this is i think the first time i'm welcoming the new year outside of someone's home.
went to the marina barrage to check out the place and find a place to camp to get a good shot of the fireworks.

arrived abt 7pm after work. met up w peter, ewen, ben n jacq. they had food n stuff on the ground floor, so we bought food and slowly made our way up to the upper floor, looking for a spot to camp on.
the barrage is indeed a nice place to chill at. it's windy, has wide open spaces tho the ground isn't flat.
wat's not to like?

as time slowly passed, we walked ard, took fotos and play "up the river, down the river".
jacq learnt it while on holiday in vietnam. i duno how to explain the game but ask me when u see me next time.
and soon, the person who introduced the game to us was languishing behind as the rest of us trailblazed past her and left her score behind.

the clock ticked closer to midnight and due to the difference in everyone's clock, some boats in the bay started blowing their horns.
and we replied w ours coz jacq bought ben a $10 bugle. kekeke...
and on the stroke of midnight, the fireworks began and the sky juz filled up w colors. so pwetty...
after the fireworks, u can see the typical human tsunami crashing out of the barrage. we hung ard a little more b4 making our way out.

was supposed to meet john, fel n mark for supper but they were stuck in traffic trying to get out of the office building.
supper was, in the end, at killiney w ewen n peter.

but on a serious note, looking back, not juz on 2008 but on the years past, i think i am blessed.
i've got frens who love and care for me, good health, a decently good paying job.
as much as i dun think i can ask for more, mayb a gf will be nice for 2009.
but we'll see wad happens come the rest of the 364 days.

and so for now.... hope ur 2008 has been fairly fulfilling and ur 2009 full of hope n joy.
viva 2009!!
