Another year has passed. In reality, besides the chronological significance... There isnt much to celebrate about is there? haha ... sry for being such a wet blanket but tts really how i feel. In the end we'll all just go back to our usual lives and go estatic once again when the next hols comes along. The real significance of hols like X'mas or new year have alrdy been lost in time, at least for the majority of ple living in S'pore... ME included... In a society where we alrdy have most of the stuff we need and live nearby our close relatives ( or dun really bother bout them ...) , where's the significance? Many a times my friends have told me stuff like, "X'mas here, but like no X'mas feeling" ... tts cos we're getting older my dear.
Regardless, I'll take the chance to have fun during watever festivals we have... Enjoy each moment to the fullest! wahaha ... So what if I dont feel the compelling urge to care and share or whatever we must feel during the 'impt' days? Who says we must have a day to rem to love our parents and all tt in the first place? Everyday can be tt day, rite?
Anyway, enough rambling ... I had a fun day on New Year's eve... attended Daniel's Bday party at Amara hotel... Think its damn cool to have ur bday at a hotel! cool but expensive ... The setup sorta reminds me of a wedding dinner though .. haha .. doesnt help tt 2 bday boys were holding a joint bday celebration tt night. Dan almost got wasted from drinking too much tt night .. even b4 he cut the cake. Apparently his other frens drowned him in alcohol but nt us .. Athena ple are too nice for tt :)
No one really knows how to tickle the ivory ... tts why we're all standing ard n smiling ..
The bday boyz ..
And once again the hypothesis that gals can become best of frens in the toilet has proven true.
After the party went to meet up wif the wushu ple to watch firewrks ... Initially went to marina bay then discovered tt there wasnt any held there this year. So we trottled down and intended to meet junhao at collyer quay... Due to a series of miscommunications and 4 lost sheep, we never met. Really have to apologise for tt. Sorry man... In the end the 4 of us watched the firewrks at the big field beside NTUC building which, i must add, is a super spectatcular place to catch the firewrks! The show wasnt as nice as as compared to the time various countries put up their displays but dazzling nonetheless. We went for supper then hang ard and took afew pics. Then, we tried for nearly an hour to hire a cab b4 getting one grumpy old driver. Sheesh ...
Just after fireworks ...
