so! to make up for last year's countdown (i fell asleep at 10 plus and woke up at 2am plus and missed the whole thing -.-), i had friends over this year! supposed to be pot luck LUNCH. but somehow everyone except xianyong and rayrin misunderstood it as dinner. haha. so i got up super early to cook fried rice! whee. then xy and rr came over to cook jap curry!

rr peeling potatoes!

xy peeling onions!

oh! xianjun came punctually at 2 but he cheated cos he brought half a roast duck his mom roasted. haha. here's proof that my fried rice is eatable (: everyone except rr liked it. whee.

then we played mahjong and my luck was super good for once! i won super alot but we didn't play with money in the end la haha.

wayne came over but with famous amos cookies haha. i think that's a famous amos plastic bag over his head. placed by nono who also bought famous amos cookies. haha.

philip and desmond came over after making their apple-potato salad. desmond woke up at 130 when we were supposed to eat at 2. haha. so... at night we just slacked around. wayne went off to his church to countdown. nono got high on oxygen again and wanted to dance to abba's dancing queen but everyone refused to dance with her. haha. then we decided to go make some drinks!

the girls! nono and me!

the guys!

haha super cool!

oh bro had about 20 plus ppl over to celebrate his 21st also. lucky pig. haha. my aunt said sth like we shouldnt cut cake more than once per birthday or not we get older than we are supposed to. but if it were true i think my true age's like 30 plus already haha.



we watched final destination 3 before countdown. fd's just gross la. it's disturbing and gross. we paused before someone was about to be killed by nails to countdown. so we switched on the tv to 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 scream! then xianjun gave out new year cards and we screamed a little about how this yr's gonna be sucky cos of As. then we just went back to fd3. haha. nono and desmond went home. and koktong and pockthong who were at serangoon gardens macs came over to play pool. we continued with fd2 then i couldn tahan already. haha.

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face

went to my god aunt and uncle's restaurant today. opened not too long ago and they closed down for the day for the whole family to go for lunch! it's a really cozy place at bukit timah though a little ulu. haha. ohman italians are great eaters. their meals are seriously huge. even my bro was full hahaha. starts with starters like veal with tuna sauce, ham with melon, this super nice bread,... then there's two pizzas, then pasta. and i thought pasta was main course. but no! after pasta is the meat. there was fish and lamb. didnt touch the lamb though cos i'm against lamb meat hahaha. then dessert. tried a few like choc cream puffs, gelato, brownie thingy,...

all of us (:

I hear your goodbye
Nothins gonna save me
I can see it in your eyes
Some kind of heartache
Darlin give it a try
I dont want pity
I just want what is mine
-cry, faith hill
