31 Dec 2006

It was an early day once again as my sis and I had to send our parents off to the airport. I would be driving the very same route in about a week and it was good to get to know the route a little too. After sending them off, we took the opportunity to get some shopping done but seems like everyone was in a holiday mood and stores opened late. So we returned to the apartment only to be greeted with this view from the apartment as everyone was enjoying New Year's Eve and the nice weather.

After this, I basically slept the whole day only to be woken up by a constant banging that was actually Brendan cooking. They then irritate the shit out of me about going clubbing, and after the lack of sleep and the irritation, I was in no mood to do nothing but stay home and chill. Another thing was I didn't want to bother with crowds. I've never gone out to clubs on NYE, I didn't intend to start now. Well sitting at home enjoying my dinner (at 11pm), I watched some of the neighbours below having a little drunk karaoke. Next thing I knew, they all just stopped and stared towards the other side of the river, and all I could hear was the fireworks going off. Here I thought I had a great view and that I could catch the sparks but noooo.... they had to be blocked by the building and I had to get out of the apartment just to view it.
