Here's to a GREAT 2005!!!
Long time since i felt so ESCTATIC!!! Hoho!! Happy 2005 to everyone out there!!! I jus had one of e greatest countdowns of my life....n i did it alone...haha, there was a countdown near my place so i decided to go for it n my mum offered to go with me but i knew she din reallie wanna jostle with e crowd n smell other pple's BO..hee hee, so i turned her down but she said she was worried abt me gg alone since my sis din wanna go as well. Heck..i'm a 22 yr old adult plus wad cud possibly happen to me when there were hordes of other new yr revellers celebrating along with me.
I've nvr been much of a fan of new yr countdowns, i gotta clarify..ever since the ushering in of e millenium yr 5 yrs ago had me stuck in a most nightmarish situation in which i was trapped in Orchard Rd along with thousands of other pple, mostly Bangla workers....n along with other pple groping, jostling n squeezing, let's jus say tt it's one situation i wun wish to relive anytime soon, heck, nvr again... Yeap,anyway, e main impetus behind my decision to go for a countdown was Jeanette Aw...haha, yeah, along with Qi Yuwu, Fiona Xie, Priscelia Chan n Jeff Wang, she was one of those Mediacorp stars invited to grace e event n jus as i reached at ard 2330, she started singing....n her voice was a perfect match for her angelic image tt nite. Clad in a simple, white halter neck dress, she looked resplendent, totally stunning n she looked jus like a sweet, pretty little angel. Her voice was veri sweet too! Haha...i sound like some kinda crazy fan...way too juvenile for my 22 yrs of age...Hw i wished i had brought along my digicam so tt i cud capture some of those images...anyway, well, same for Jay Chou's concert, guess i gotta be contented to allow those memories to jus live on in my mind..
Chipped in my bit for e tsunami victims too n we observed a min's silence prior to the counting down n the ushering of the yr 2005. Countdown biz over, i proceeded to the big foam party opposite but by e time i reached there,there were oredi lots of pple insides the barricades n hving the time of their lives with e big, fluffy foam flying all ard... I eyed them with envious glances n managed to dispel e urge to clamour over those barricades to ged to that tempting bed of white foam. Instead, I walked ard, trying to figure a way to ged right into e smack of fun. I found my answer in the kiddy inflated palace tt was next to e adult arena n they had bubble foams too!! Without giving it any further thought, i jostled in n went straight to the source of e foam n had such a gd time playing with e little kids n foam. First time ever in a foam party n best of all, right under e foam tap itself! Then, i noticed pple my age standing guard at e 2 entrances of tis kiddy foam party, they were preventing other kids frm all squeezing in n i looked ard at e kiddy foam party n froze...ohmigod!! I was e onli adult in here!! All were kids, n most did nt even measure up to my waist level! Instantly, i leaned agst e inflated surface n slide down, trying my best at looking dwarfish n mustering a kiddish look on my face....haha, which shud nt be too tough given tt i was actually wearing Ric's old boxers n his army guards shirt with a hairband keeping my dishevelled fringe back n e rest of my hair pulled back into a messy ponytail...hey, wait, ain't tt an AUNTIE getup instead...
Anyway, suffice it to say tt i was trying my ultimate best to look as inconspicious as possible, i even resorted to burying myself under e cascades of white foam, hoping tt tis wud render me less visible to e bemused helpers standing guard at e door...eh, unfortunately, i caught their eye n well, tt cud hv been a bemused or amused look. i cudn't differentiate behind tt mountain of foam i was under...then i gt molested!! by tis overly eager little Malay boy who was standing right under e foam tap n he pushed my butt in an enthusiastic attempt to get me to share his joy....haha, i tried to manage a dignified refusal..hard to do tt when one is covered with white foam frm top to bottom...i looked beside me n the adult foam party was nt half as fun. First of all, there were lots of Bangla again....n they were evidently hving a wild time, i din fancy getting groped, be it accidentally or intentionally by any grown males...plus e adults were still their inhibited selves, nt like e little kids who din care abt any image wadsoever except to hv a roaring fun time..I smiled to myselves n jus indulged in hving fun with these cute little kiddies...
In e end, i managed to make my escape by moving swiftly towards e exit wth my back facing those standing guard....ultimate embarrassing esp when there were parents waiting anxiously with their kiddos for a turn at e kiddy foam party n here i was, a fully grown up human specimen hving fun at e expense of their kids... yeah, managed to extricate myself frm e big, foam party.. Walked out to e rd, the trees along e rd were all lighted up with Xmasy lights n it felt as if i was in Orchard itself...hordes of ple swarming e middle of e rd wth the pasar malam still dg biz late into e nite...a joyous, happy mood serenaded the place...my flip flops were too slippery for me to walk n i took them off n starting running down e middle of e rd in my bare feet, haha...i muz hv looked either crazed or ridiculous or perhaps a perfect combi of both. It felt surreal...truly it did...a ridiculous figure covered in white foam running barefoot in e middle of e rd, i shud be relieved e police standing guard at e side of e rd din arrest me on grounds of abnormal, anti sanity behavior...
Reached my blk soon n as i entered e lift, an uncle stepped out of it n he gaf me an incredulous departing glance, haha...reached hm n scared e hell outta my mum...yeah, e perfect new yr's pressie for her.
I rem my countdown last yr was spent with Ric n we watched LOTR 3 in PS, b4 that, we had a huge quarrel, e first ominous sign of our breakup as hindsight wud hv me noe now...Though we did manage to make up on tt day itself, tt issue was nvr resolved n ultimately, it led to our breakup. 2004 din start off well for me, perhaps tt was why 2004 has been e worst yr of my life ever...no exaggeration. But 2005 started with a bang! I had a most exhilarating n fun countdown n though i was alone n nt acc by family or frens, i reallie enjoyed myself to e fullest n tt's wad matters most. I noe I can be happy, i can make myself happy n tt's enuff for me.
Finally bidding farewell to 2004...n cheers to a fulfilling n fantastic 2005! I embrace it with all my heart's desire n wish tt it can live up to my overwhelming expectations of it.....Happy New Yr to all my gd frens out there n e list includes...Huijuan, Ailian, Weiyi, Shuwen, Yuntian, Sophia, Nadine,Yongcen, Jiajie n Caiying....hope u guys ushered in e new yr with a bang too n tt it'll bring new hopes n wishes fulfilled!

YOyoyo!!! Wad a great way to celebrate the start of a new yr! Not like me...haha staying at home and watching the last mmts of Channel U and I vanished away as a MediaWorks channel.
