Hello 2008!

How I Welcomed 2008

I had to work full day on New Year's eve. I had a quiet evening in mind: go home & watch Bleach, an anime that I've just started watching. It was super busy at work & I didn't have time to reply Jeff when he smsed me about the plans he & his friends came up with. So by the time 6 pm came, I had to go along with whatever they'd planned. Jeff came to fetch me & we went to Mac's at King Albert for dinner before proceeding to Bukit Timah Plaza.

The initial plan was to play DOTA (the guys) at BTP, then head to Holland V's Cold Storage to get food items for a mini BBQ by the Jurong Canal. In the end, only Lian Hong made it to BTP while TC was at D&D, Remi chionging somewhere & CK still at work. CK got Regina to buy some food items at Cold Storage Coronation Plaza & we went to pick them up at 10+ pm. I didn't really enjoy the whole thing coz my hair was greasy, my body sticky & I was so tired.

TC just got home & 5 of us went to his house to prepare the food items. We finally got to Jurong Canal just as 12 MN striked. We had problem with the charcoal coz it wouldn't burn nicely. Lian Hong & Jeff finally went to Lian Hong's place to get whatever charcoal he had left. By the time they got back, it was almost 2 am & we finally could BBQ properly. It was late 4 am when we left. Lian Hong & Remi walked home. Jeff dropped TC at his place even though he stayed nearby as well becoz of the BBQ items he needed to bring home.

I fell asleep as Jeff drove CK & Regina home. I didn't even know when Regina alighted. But I woke up briefly when CK alighted & I waved bye to him. I didn't wake up until Jeff killed the engine. Went back upstairs & showered. We finally slept at 6 am.

I forced myself to wake up at 9+ am coz the 3 boys needed to be showered. I made a record by getting them all done in 2 hours. I watched Bleach for a few hours & went to take a nap at 3 pm. Woke up at 5+ pm & went to cook plain rice porridge. Just had this craving to eat plain porridge with "Ka Na Chai" (olive vege) & "Tao Tzu" (fermented beancurd) & we had that for dinner. Sometimes when you have too much of good food, you really come to enjoy such simple fares.

So that's how we spent New Year's Eve & New Year's Day itself. I don't believe in resolutions & I've never made them before. Now I gotta set a goal for myself. To complete the Precious Moment cross stitch I started even before I had my wedding pictures taken last year. Hopefully, I can get it done before I move so I can hang it up in my new house. It's a picture of a groom & bride in a car. I didn't get further than stitching the bride's hair though... :X
