Celebrated the last day of 2009 in SG by having a year-end celebration in my company after working during the morning hours. Yvonne stayed over last night cause there was a football match and she didn’t have to work on NYE. When I reached home after lunch, everyone was busy with their own affairs – Yin Sin’s watching show, Yvonne’s playing Nancy Drew, Jit-Vern and Chee Lim on their comp, Ian’s out with his girlfriend, Yee Weng still not back from work.

Spent the afternoon playing Warcraft with Jit-Vern. Us housemates finally found a game where all four of us can play, even Ian. For dinner, we met up with Ian and Mel at Aston’s Specialties in Suntec. It’s food is good and the price is reasonable. We went there early to beat the crowd at about 6pm. My last meal in 2009 – A medium-rare steak

Spending the last moments with the people that I’ve always been close with…

When we finished our dinner, it was just like 730-745pm. It was still damn early. Initially, the plan was to meet at Marina Barrage with Chee Lim after dinner but well, after dinner was still too early. Ian accompanied Melanie back first while the remaining 4 of us just walked about Suntec Area. We walked around Millennia Walk cause some haven’t been there before…

After what seems like point-less walking, we decided to follow Yvonne back to Kembangan. She needed to pack her stuff for another round of camping at our place. We err.. watched Godzilla on Channel 5. Hahaha… We really didn’t know what to do… Actually, we had a few choices –

• (1) to be in a crowd to enjoy the NYE’s atmosphere at Marina Barrage. There we can watch fireworks, drink and all…
• (2) to be in a non-crowded area and just spend some quality time with a small group of people.

And naturally, we chose the most logical thing to do – option 2. *smirk*. Of course Chee Lim wasn’t very happy as she’s more of a partying-kind but we all 4 (five including Ian) of us unanimously chose to stay-in without even discussing with each other.

So, we headed back to Hougang. We played our new board game, Urban Legends, bought by Yvonne to the ‘house’ for Christmas.

We had our leftover Chivas and Coke from the Xmas Party and count-down together with the TV. We can see the concert, the fireworks clearly from the TV. And best of all, no need to be crammed up like a sardine. We ended the night by watching Star Wars Ep 4 on my computer. New Year’s Eve may not sound exciting and wild, but we sure had our own kind of fun… *sigh* I wonder if this is a sign that we’re getting old.

Cheers to a better year! With good health and good wealth!
