Happy New Year!

i'd say that my last day of 2007 was one of the most memorable ones of the year. i remember in primary school, i used to be very sad when the year is about to end cus it always meant that the new school term was beginning and i had to go through another round of torture (i hated primary school). but this time round, i have no school to worry about and i had a great day with friends around.

i finally had my tea party! after a whole lot of fuss and contemplation. the recess bunch were invited and they were an hour and a half late! i was standing by the poolside like an idiot with my sunglasses and sun hat for an hour. it was really hot and my ice cream (which was homemade! 3 different flavours, 3 litres) was melting! they were supposed to turn up at 3, so i even started baking cupcakes and waffles at 2 so that they would be able to eat them hot when they came. heh, so much for that. i borrowed chrys' ipod speakers as well, THANK YOU CHRYS, they have served me well.

then when they came, i gave them air kisses and called them by Mrs. (name). haha, it was so fun! i was about to serve the tea when they started saying "do we REALLY have to drink tea?" but when i poured the tea from my mum's extremely cheena teapot, they realised it was actually tea sorbet! cool right? i swear, i am so creative.

we are the taitais

would you like some more tea?

after tea, we opened presents and then played a good long game of uno before everyone had to go home. i really hope everyone had an awesome time, blowing air kisses, sipping tea with our pinkies out, eating waffles and cheese on crackers, listening to french music, talking with british accents, simply just talking about stuff and lastly, pretending that we're 50 years old. *british accent* my goodness, dear MISS Neo, i'd say it's about time you tie the knot. we arn't getting any younger, love. hahahaha!!

we met up again later to go for the countdown and fireworks at marina bay! some people wanted to see the black parade -_-"

clarissa: "what time is the countdown?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

i think i contributed a lot, i brought the picnic mats, biscuits and HOT WATER. what for? why, for the instant noodles of course!

we set our butts on a patch of grass in the middle of nowhere and people had to walk around us to get to the other side, haha.

we were just outside the Harry's Steakhouse.

we brought a hell lot of food

and some entertainment to last us the wait.

singing along to the lousy bands playing

can you see? it says 2008!

PIG. hahaha, ate a lottttttt.

(on the phone at home)
clarissa: i'm wearing a tube
me: OMG, you want to kena molested isit?
clarissa: no la, i'm going to wear a sweater.
(at the countdown)
clarissa: i'm very hotttttttt. so hottttttttt.

haha, clarissa, you're so full of rubbish.

clarissa looks really funny here! her eyes are super huge and kinda copped, haha!

then, it was time, and we started counting down.

these were my favourite, they were Christmassy green and red!

the fireworks were pretty good, though not exceptionally good.
later, when some of the crowd cleared, we started cooking instant noodles!

what made the countdown even more special was that this was my first time going for a real one! i think it's a fantastic way to start the new year on a good note and for once, i was actually looking forward to 2008 (that's easy for me to say cus i don't have school! HAHA)

later on New Years Day, i went to meet becky. we watched I AM LEGEND. all i can say is that it is not for the faint hearted, and i can imagine becks sleeping with the light on tonight! hahaha! it's really quite a disturbing show, but Will Smith was a really good actor. i think his facial expressions are really good. for the movie The Persuit of Happyness, the part where he was hiding in the toilet with his kid, they had the camera on his face for a full 30 seconds and that part made me cry. they did the same thing in I Am Legend except that it was a dog instead of the kid and i felt really sad too. but i didn't cry only cus well... it was a dog!

becky then treated me to ChoczZz chocolate fondue. i wanted to pay her back, but i realised i only had big notes, haha. THANK YOU BECKS! i will treat you to something somewhere sometime somehow!

our finished fondue.

we then went to walk about the Esplanade area to try to take some artsy fartsy shots.

pretty much a failure

oh wells!

took two polaroids! one was ultinately dumb cus we tried to take the shot ourselves, haha!

and so that was my last day of 2007 and first day of 2008. i hope this never ends. and so! as how most of my very memorable posts go, i end off...

WITH A BIG ASS PICTURE OF MYSELF!
