Shish! Was busy crapping with Jason, Charles and Lilin on MSN. Wanted to write a post before the day ends. Oh well... Anyway it's the year 2009!!!!! Let's hope for better things to come!
31st December 2008, Wednesday, New Year's Eve
Liyang picked Boon Leong, Kim Mong and me up outside BL's place. Then together with his wife, Selina, we went to Punggol Marina Country Club for seafood. It's the super ulu place at the edge of Punggol where people can go for wakeboarding and other sea sports. We almost couldn't find the super ulu restaurant, which was at the extreme end of the place. Quite a lok kok place but still quite a spacious place because the tables were in the middle of a big plot of land next to the sea. The soup base for our steamboat buffet was some tonic with wolfberries. Quite healthy cos no MSG was thrown in, and we didn't get thirsty easily. Food variety was so-so. Liyang and wife brought wine along so we had some chardonnay for dinner.
Kim Mong had to leave earlier to meet his gf. We only found out that he got a new gf for 2 months only. Now who told me KM is getting married?!? So the four of us ate some more until we could hardly move. Then the plan was to go to Dempsey Hill for Ben & Jerry's ice-cream! I haven't been there before so it was quite a good idea. Somehow along the way Jacelyn and her friends had no other plans and therefore they also came over to join us at Dempsey.
I didn't have much space for lotsa ice-cream, therefore I only ordered a single scoop of Coconut-Layer-dunno-what flavour. Then BL had to go off to check on his delinquent kids. He had to make sure the kids were at home when he went to their house for checks. Tough work man. On a NYE some more. Then KM and gf, as well as Jacelyn and friends arrived at the same time. Suddenly we became a group of 8 people. It was almost 12 midnight soon, therefore we had to give up any ideas of counting down at those party areas. The restaurants and pubs in Dempsey Hill had their own countdowns once the time reached 12 midnight. A not so crowded and rowdy countdown for me this year. This is rather good compared to having to squeeze with loads of Banglas along the Esplanade. LOL! No chance to take nice fireworks pix though. We toured around DH until our next plan. Go to Marina Barrage! It's my 3rd time there within like a month? LOL! Still a nice place to chill out.Once we got there, the crowd had started to leave the place. I didn't know that there was a celebration going on at the MB. They even setup stages and stalls, had live bands and stuff. Should have been quite fun there, but damn crowded too I suppose. I immediately set off to be in trigger-happy mode. Still lotsa nice shots to be taken at that place.
So we sat and chatted and admired the beauty of Singapore's CBD skyline, as well as MB itself, before going home. It's 2009! Woohoo!
