Its a brand new year.
2010!
I think this will be the longest and wordy post in my whole blog...
so be patient will reading, cause...you might be included in this! :)

Before i start on my new year speeches, let me say how i enjoyed on my last day of 2009 :)
31st December 2009 -> 1st January 2010 New Year Countdown

After the project meeting with my MP groupmates, i went home to put down my laptop.
And meet junwei at 7:45 @ tampines to take bus 15 over to parkway parade.
Jianhua came over at 9:30pm and had dinner @ yoshinoya.
Hwee Shan came over at 9:45 and we 4 sat down and chat while waiting for ah mui.
meiyun came over and meet us at 10:45 and we took bus 36 to marina city hall :D
oh wow, the crowd over there was WOOT.
Seems like everyone is welcoming the brand new year :)

Walked over to the marina Promenade, sat down, its 11:45pm.
15min to the brand new year!
chatted and took photos ...
and the clock ticks 12am, fireworks shot up.
A wonderful 10min worth of fireworks! But these are the taxpayers money! LOL
after the fireworks, decided not to go home that fast as the crowd is crazy.
So we walked over to raffles place, made rounds and rounds due to road block.
about 1:15am, reach raffles place.
We took train home...
Wonderful countdown days with my best buddies!!
:)

Had to delay our ride afterwards.
Thanks hwee shan and meiyun for the medicine and helping me out! :)
The pain shall not stop me from having fun this 3 days!
Time passes fast and its past midnight, need energy for day 2!
