new year eve was a rather moody day. there was nothing to do at home, and i was slacking and playing maple all the way till evening. but night time was a totally different story.
went with my parents to henderson market for dinner. there, i ate udon mee + chicken, fried oyster, curry fish head, ice kachang volcanoe, and red ruby. you must be wondering how i got such a big appetite. haha, i shared the desserts with my family. DUH!
after dinner, daddy rushed us to my aunt's house to watch Little Nyonya. the show's rather nice i must admit.
mummy wanted to stay there to rest, so daddy and i left to catch the fireworks.
daddy drove to the telok blangah area to find a parking lot. suprisingly, there wasnt any traffic jam at all! the traffic was really smooth. from the carpark, we walked towards vivo city for about 5 minutes. there were many people down there, and they seemed to be in really really high spirits. most of them were youngsters, equipped with spray cans, ready to spray at any strangers who were caught unaware.
daddy and i walked up the stairs to the 3rd floor of vivo city (if i'm not wrong? =P) down there, we could see a really huge stage and a gigantic platform of seats for guests to sit on. daddy and i were practically sliding our butts against everybody, trying to seize our area of comfort for the best view of the show. imagine an area where you could not even have the freedom of stretching your hand out fully in front or sideways. that was the kind of squeeziness that we were experiencing!
we could also catch a glimpse of the mediacorp celebrities and several other superband's band (LOL). the smell of sweat was overwhelming. i could see every single person sweating, some looked totally drenched, and you could see little drops of sweat hanging on for dear life on the tip of their hair. the smell of the accumulated sweat was like being a coffeeshop toilet which hasn't been maintained for a week!
at 11:59pm, you could feel the energy within the crowd rising tremendously. people were reminding each other that new year was coming, while some others were getting ready their spray cans. then it came.......
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1!
ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fireworks came and everybody was roaring! You could see the celebrities dancing like monkeys on the stage and everybody were shouting like mad. Too bad daddy and i couldnt get a view of the fireworks as it was quite a distant from us. we could hear the fireworks though.
as we were about to leave the area, somebody suddenly tapped my shoulder from behind and said HAPPY NEW YEAR! i turned back and was shocked to see my bro. he was with his 2 other friends. we exchanged wishes and chatted for a while then me and daddy proceeded to the carpark while my bro stayed on to keep his friends company.
as we were walking towards the carpark, daddy asked me a question:
"ehh, just now that girl behind Yu Ren is his friend ah?"
"what girl? i didnt see any girl!" i replied
"that one who i shaked hand with lor" daddy said
"kor kor only has 2 friends with him leh"
"waaa, that means i shook hands with the wrong person!? just now when you and kor kor's friends wished each other happy new year then i also went to wish the girl happy new year and we shooked hands. i thought she was your kor kor's friend."
upon hearing that, i couldnt help but burst into laughter.
HAIYO, daddy is so cute! still go wish a unknown person happy new year and shook her hand! I BET YOU THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS KOR'S GF!
