Started the chain of meeting ups with the 2010 New Year Countdown. Met at night at City Hall Interchange, organised by Zhen Quan. It was extremely crowded, only the Beijing subway can match the situation there. With policemen maintaining order. Went a whole long way (a roundabout, an underpass, a pathway and then a bridge). Throngs of people, all kinds can be found there. Extremely packed, not for the claustrophobic. Didn't manage to reach the Esplanade though, where one of the celebration was. Ended up stoning on the bridge waiting for the countdown. Only the 3, 2, 1 reached though. However, the atmosphere was spirit-lifting. Awesome. Everyone was celebrating, and it's the new year. Oh yeah, my first new year (midnight) outdoors. Previous years I was camping in front of the TV and watching. Pretty no life, especially since I have no friends or siblings to celebrate the start of the new year. Lonely. On the strike of the hour, the TV celebration reached the climax and you are high. Then you look around, there's no one, you off the TV and go to sleep. No better anti-climax. Outdoors with friends is a new experience and I love it, albeit the crowd and everything that goes with squeezy situations.The fireworks was spectacular, at least 10X better than viewing through the TV screen. Ernest requested that we come like early in the afternoon next year for a good spot, to avoid the crowd and be comfortable. Good plan. I shall decide, when next year comes. =)
Second outing only has three people. Among BFFs in my upper secondary class. I felt a little disappointed that there isn't an upper sec. class outing. Thus, I just gathered my good friends and we went for lunch (at Long John Silver's) and a movie (刺陵) together at Causeway Point. The meeting up was quite a joke. I thought I was late in meeting up Boyang at Bukit Batok MRT station, ended up he was much later than me. The other person, Yau Xuan, I guess was also late, but was waiting at the upper deck of Woodlands MRT. So much for punctuality. That was why I was uber late for a later outing. :P Both the lunch location and the movie were decided by Yau Xuan. We're actually fine with almost anything. Anything goes. =) The movie was kind of expected, knowing Yau Xuan, of course it has to be something to do with romance. Good movie generally, starring 周杰伦 and 林志玲, not that I watched many movies. The last time I went out for a movie before this was... can't remember. =|
Too exhausted now, no energy to carry on with recounts of outings. Shall carry on later in the day (it's 2+am now). I wonder how I'll adjust my biological clock back for school. Guess for the 1st week at least I may be walking like a zombie in the campus. Sigh... And the guy who mass spammed my tag board, it's rather obvious who you are, you revealed yourself by the usage of words in the repeated posts. Not like you can help it, there isn't much of a suitable replacement for that word... Maybe you should not niao yourself so often, and before you say anything, I reinforce that I do not, and have not ever, or will ever, despise(d) you. =D
Much as I tell myself and people not to take things for granted, I find that, inevitably, the closer a thing or person get, the more I will take it/him/her for granted. I try not to though, but will still slip now and then. Pardon me if I do (particularly directed at 2 people which I communicate very frequently with). No one is perfect, right? =S I'll just try to tread carefully while being my own self. Quite hard, but I'll manage. Somehow.
