It's a new decade and plenty of things to look forward to. Been gone for one week for a trip to Macau and Hong Kong. Woohoo finally went there. That completes another two of my must-go destinations. Been slacking for these two days cos was too tired after the trip. Laze and nua at home. And so now here's a recap of what's happened so far.
29th December 2009, Tuesday
It's Justina's birthday on the next day, so we celebrated her birthday for her. And since we were going to Sharon's wedding dinner later on in the night, I brought my DSLR along to office and thus I get to play around with it by taking loads of pix during the celebration.
31st December 2009, ThursdayIt's New Year's Eve! The last day of the decade! Brought my DSLR along to work since I'll be taking fireworks pix later on at night. It's also Faye's birthday celebration too since her birthday is on the 2nd of Jan. They weren't too keen to take any pix, so I just anyhow snapped a pic or two.
Later on, I went to meet up with Ron, kireichan, yang and An at Kallang MRT station. Yang had came to Singapore earlier on and went to meet us for this "guild outing". We then took the shuttle bus to Leisure Park Kallang. It's been a long time since I went there. Not much difference and still very few people there. We had dinner at KFC and then proceeded to play bowling. The rates were different for this NYE. It was $30/hr for a lane. We playedfor 2 hours. Edwin joined us just as we were starting our games. Throughout the games we witnessed more and more faults with this bowling alley. Firstly, the pins will drop from the top of the machinery and smash the already neatly-placed new pins. And sometimes one or two pins would go missing from a new rerack. And then the LCD monitor started turning black. WTH! What a shitty bowling alley. And it was supposed to be quite new. And then sometimes after the first ball was thrown, the score wasn't registered! The pins had to be reracked. Wow I'm never going back there to play again. Claire joined us for a while, just to watch us play bowling. Then she and I logged onto MSN using our iPhones and chatted with Moomei simultaneously. It was kinda funny chatting with crappy Moomei.

Took a pic with Moojie aka Claire too lol.So then we finished our bowling and then it was left with Ron, kireichan, yang and me. We went to kireichan's office at Shaw Tower to wait for the New Year fireworks display. There were already several other groups of her colleagues and their friends in the office when we reached there.
1st January 2010, FridayWe then waited for the stroke of midnight and then witnessed the world turned one year older and entered a new decade with a wonderful display of pyrotechnics from floating platform area right next to the Esplanade. We had a superb view of the fireworks. Too bad I didn't bring my tripod and therefore couldn't take good pix of the fireworks. After about 8 or 9 mins of non-stop fireworks, it all ended and so we then rushed to the MRT to grab our trains back home.

The best fireworks pic without using a tripod.
After a scrumptious meal of Japanese cuisine, I joined KMS, Zhangjing and Yipeng at Holland Village for a drinking session. It's the long awaited drinking session that ZJ was looking forward to since last year. It was also my first time going to Holland V at night for a drinking session lol. We ended up at Breko with their beer promotion of $12 for 2 bottles. 3 bottles each. ZJ had dinner there.
