new year's eve !!! 07
New year's eve .. 31/12/07
The very last day of the year was a Monday , What a day to start the new week .
It was bright and sunny in the morning , way better than Christmas .
Woke up early , had awesome bruschetta by caleb and went shopping yet again . Met up with Beth to do our shopping .
Lol , she was suppose to help me pick and buy my sister's stuff but she ended up buying
most of them and well , it was a surprise i ended up empty-handed on New year's eve .
Had lunch on the go from Boots , I can't believe i drop the shortcake that causes like 91p .!! damn it anyways , no point picking it up , London's streets are too filthy .
Anyway , stupid Foot Locker couldn't find the other side of the shoes i wanted . ( And 1 only 10 pounds ) !! .. so till now i still do not have a proper balling shoes . Walked Beth to the tube station , then went back to my hall to grab some free chinese new year's eve dinner . We had fried rice , spring rolls , and 3 other meat dishes . Ate a lot because i was afraid our dinner wasn't gonna be enough for 13 people !! ..
Headed straight to chinatown afterwards , met up with Caleb at 1703 , wanted to buy the 2kg of fresh prawns but the shop closed like 5 minutes before we met up . Went to the shop behind and grab 2 packets of frozen seafood , some noodles and fish balls ( cost like 3.35 pounds for 20 fish balls , expensive ! ) Went to sainsbury to grab meat , chicken , salmon and baguettes ..
Met up with kimberly and headed back to her place . Her place was along the main street connecting Trafalgar Square and Embankment . really tight security that night , 1 resident is only allowed 3 guests. signed me , yheu shen and caleb in . Cracking our head how to sign the other 9 in !! .. lol .. got hold on 1 card and a friend was willing to help . Nicole n co. left because they waited too long . Finally , got Jian Jun , Shen Fei and Beth in .
Had some awesome salmon and ham baguettes to start with . Prepared steamboat , had 2 pots , tom yam and the normal 1 . used 2 rice cooker to cook the soup . It was surprisingly fast and easy considering 4 male patrons work the kitchen effortlessly . The ladies were just keeping an eye on us . Anyways , had LOADS of food because 7 of us were eating 13 ppl's food ! .
they each took a bite ...
anyway , kept eating and eating .Pity JJ burnt his hand because he tried to save the tom yam soup. Had Krispy Kreme courtesy of me again before we left the building 2330 to catch the fireworks .
Was raining , who cares when there's only a few minutes left to the new year .. Found a good spot for photo taking and viewing of the fireworks .
New year was a Blast , Big Ben going off 12 times i think ( i was too busy looking up in the sky if not to the side ) , Thousands of people shouting 10,9,8.....1 !!!! Fireworks were really good . Came off the London Eye , the government spent 1.3million pounds on it !! .. And what's more to ask for , having great friends around u(hann was near i'm sure ) with brightly lighted skies thanks to the fireworks , it was indeed a great year to look forward to ;2008 .
People started to leave after the 15minutes of magical moment . JJ left soon after and we walked back to the hall . found our irish cream stolen and we're all pissed with no liquor available . Walked beth to the tube station and met the guys at chinatown afterwards . Decided to finish off our dinner back home . Went back , waited for hann and gobbled down every single bit left in the rice cooker .
Had Krispy Kreme and chilled a bit . Left around 4ish together with hann n co. who's going to the airport to catch shen tong . Slept at 6ish . !!!!
It was a really really nice day full of events .
2007 will not be forgotten but let's try to make 2008 a much much better 1 !!
with loads of fun and gals ??!!!
a special thx caleb , who has been my roommate for at least 2 weeks ..
