22 is the number this year

Ok fun times over and school's abt to start in less than 24hrs. i'm going to blog abt the fun times i had over the whole of december... Maybe i'll start with the most recent.
Hmm how shud i start... Maybe a greeting to everyone to start 2006... Celebrated the first moments of 2006 with my jc first three mths frens...

Gathering on New Year's Eve:



Every year we have a gathering on New Year's Eve and the girls uaually book a room to drink and play cards, this year was no exception.. we were supposed to celebrate at RELC's hotel near orchard, however due to some unforseen circumstances we were left roomless... so much for getting a room for 60 bucks... SS and Wt made a dozen phone calls to hotels ard Spore but to no avail, all hope was nearly lost until we finally found a cheaper alternative, but the place had no reception, no air-con, no tv, no fridge, no room service... The hotel was located ard Jurong West near Boon Lay, the address...
Nanyang Avenue, Hall of Residence 2. It was a Hall-tel... (hears much applause for his joke). So anyway, we celebrated our new year in school cause we had no choice... played cards and drank a tad of vanilla vodka with red bull. That tasted like cough syrup cause we bought the non-carbonated red bull which was 1 dollar cheaper than the carbonated one which we shud have bought... Ended the night at 6am where we SS made us write our new year resolutions and put them in a bottle. The question is do people stick to their new year's resolutions??? maybe they do, but only for a short while, so wats the pt really? maybe we shud make resolutions every mth or maybe every week...

To Zhaocheng aka grassjelly, about the celebrations in Australia compared to Spore... I think i can understand why u said the celebrations are much better there, this judging from wat i saw this year at the esplanade and kallang river... it was not the best idea i've seen... perhaps the celebrations at Mt Faber this year would have been nicer... These photos taken from the bridge near the esplanade...






If u cant make out wat's in the photos, they are actually balls on water. Some pple wrote their wishes and then placed them in the balls floating on the Kallang river... Every ten minutes the balls will change colour because the light shining on the balls will change... Green, purple, yellow, etc... How exciting...
At 12 midnight there were fireworks and i was viewing them from marina sq. The 10min fireworks display was much better than this. Next yr, hopefully they can channel money to make the fireworks last for half an hour... then it will be worth waiting for the fireworks...

    a bit weird leh.. the way you phrase the wordings.. you understand why it was the best i've ever seen. den you say enlighten you..
    i'm like '???' now.
    okok, IMO, the New Year over there was good was becos of the fireworks display. They had 2 fireworks displays at 2 different timings. One at 9pm, darling habour (for kids i think) and one at 12am, Harbour bridge (proper).
    Ha~ I don't have pics cos i din bring my camera.. Argh.. But it was very nice though cos i think they really put in effort into it.(the floating thingys along singapore river is the first time i've seen it though, lol)
    haiya, i also dunno how to describe to you... speechless, ok?
    haha~ enjoy the start of your sch!
