I am glad to usher in the new year.
Its such a contradiction to Christmas.
Christmas sucks, New year rocks.
Eve was spent onboard a cruise.. after a so-so buffet dinner
everyone was jus eagerly waiting for the countdown to happen.
There was a mobile disco and when we are preparing for the countdown
The fire works started!
Everyone rushed out to the deck and gushed over the pretty fiery streaks of lights
so, not much of a countdown anyway.. BUT
We saw fireworks from Sentosa, HarbourFront and Esplanade
It was the first time that I get to see so many fireworks at one go
It was a memorable start to a new year.
On New Year day itself,
we had a relatives gathering and we had our ten course dinner till 10 plus.
Imagine our 12 tables making even more noise and more happening than
the wedding banquet that was going on at the same time?
Ya.. poor young couple have to endure with us. Haa… cousins were a bunch of fun.. we take turns making the ROM cousin drank & drank.
Red wine + beer + Martell. Make him lie flat! hahazz..
Then we also had a surprise cake-cutting ceremony for our first uncle
I think he is about 75 now? Still fit and strong though.
And he was really v happy when we propose a toast to him.
All 12 tables of relatives were standing up cheering & singing birthday song for him.
Daddy comment that this kind of scenario, the heart sure touched until can cry
After that, sisters, BIL and I brought our folks to chill out at The Villa Bali.
It was a great night out for all.
We finished a bottle of white, plus cocktails and coffee.
We still ordered wings and wedges though we just had dinner!
The ambience was full of greenery and nature w jungle music
Frogs jumping about that gave us a scare & crickets cricking
Great for friends to hangout~ :)
I figured that.. I really have people around me who love me a lot
I must try to discover my own self worth
And be happy
I figured that.. I can take things in my own stride
Emotionally i know i'm much stronger now
Happy 2006!
