Let me fly.

Sunday, January 02, 2005

How time flies, its already 2005 before u can mouth "O-R-D" hahaha! For the benefit of those who dunno, ORD stands for Operational Ready Date, meaning that we have finish or 2 1/2 years of NS and are now ready to be deployed anytime for military purpose, or wat they expect of us anyway. Okok, its the New Year!!! Where resolutions are set, bygones be bygones and lives, start anew. There are many things to be prioritised correctly which have not been properly done the previous year. Learn from our mistakes, our flaws and from experiences and work towards a better year this year and every following one. Life is short, live life to the fullest.

Spent the last few hours of 2004 and the first few ours of 2005 with a group of my University friends! Our initial plan was to go for night cycling, but the weather wasnt on our side =( . So everyone decided to watch midnight show at Marina Square. Have to choose between "Phantom of the Opera" and "Chucky: seed of Chucky". It din make a difference which i watch, so its right to let the girls decide. The latter was choosen, and all of us set off from Zijia's house after some of them finish bidding for their modules. All of us squeezed into Patrick's car and made our way to Marina bay for steamboat! $13 per person and free ice cream, +$2 for sugarcane juice. Ok la, i dun eat steamboat often too anyway. Ate for around 2-3hrs, squeezed into Patrick's car again and he fetched us to Dhoby Ghaut. Said Happy New Year!! to Patrick as he had to leave us to join his friends.

We den began our search for available pool tables. But to no avail =( . It was around 10pm+ and Zhicheng met us at paradiz after he knock off from work at EXPO. Went to Esplanade where supposedly there would be fireworks but were taken off as a sign of respect to the victims of the recent Earthquake and Tsunami occurence, condolences. So there wasnt really anything to "officially" mark the start of the new year. Suddenly, everyone burst into applause and, wat do u noe? Its the NEW YEAR!!! everyone went wild, there were ppl behind playing with their own fireworks. One of them actually even used fireworks that can shoot into the air. That was actually wat everybody were waiting for. Though its banned and the explosion somewhat pathetic, it really made everybody's day =). Tried to sent New Year SMSes to everyone but dunno why cant send, network jam?

After the short celebration, went to Marina Square for our show at 12:20. Shud have listened to Zijia when she said it was rated M18. First time i watched a M18 movie, too much gore, uninteresting and predictable plot. Cant deny that the jokes were quite funny, but the gory scences were just, disgusting. So much for Chucky, his bride, and his seed. Hahaha, ok i guess everybody was stunned, but it was all in the name of fun =P. 2am, Went to look for a nice place after the show to settle down and chill. Managed to find a spot by Boat Quay beside the Singapore River under UOB building. Woooooo, wat a breeze we had there from the river nearby. Alicia teached us how to play a very interesting game using poker cards. Abit difficult to explain here, but basically, u won't feel sleepy playing it coz u need to memorise and be alert! It'll be a very good game to be introduced for FOC'05! Yee Fang was really HIGH thru out the game. Every little while, doing abit of singing and dancing, haha wat can i say? Shes a natural!

1st Jan 2005 6am, after the game, went to a nearby food centre to have Roti prata! Something the girls have been craving for the WHOLE of end 2004 haha! Too bad we werent at the east, if not we could get a glimpse of the sunrise together...By this time, everyone were more or less tired. Made our way home after a few take cares and goodbyes. Reached home ard 830am, bathe and went to bed straight away, woke up at 3pm and had a late lunch at home. Feeling refresh, this year, im going to be a different and better person. Thank you guys for the memories, i'll cherish it and hope it'll aid me in everything i do this year.

Happy New Year everyone...
