i know this is a really blur picture but it's the only picture i have with Shiying. She's my daaarrling haha. my good fren for many years since primary school. back then in primary sch we were waiting for our mothers to bring our art folios to sch for us.. cos it's sort of a crime not to bring your art folio.. haha. and so we were both waiting and i think she tried to talk to me but according to her, i was damn dao ( i dun remember that anyway) luckily we went into the same class after primary 1 and 2.

then in secondary sch, we were lucky to be in the same class yet again!! but it was only for 2 years... then we went on to different jcs.. thanks to my choice. haha but i'm so glad we have kept in contact. i think i shall walk over to her house one day to surprise her!!

so that picture was on christmas eve.. after my work and everything.. we happily went to orchard road. and reached there abt 8pm, hungry and without dinner. everywhere was so crowded we had nothing to eat. in the end we ended up eating pasta at some place in taka. and the pasta was great and filling!

then we began to shop around but the shops were closing fast and by 10pm we had nothing much to do. little did we know that it was super crowded on the streets of orchard road and pple spraying disgusting foam everywhere blindly.

we couldnt walk anywhere so we stood near the escalator and laughed at pple getting sprayed. it got a little boring so we went down to squeeze with the pple. and oh gosh it was gross! i could smell the sweat and the foam and i was pushed and plastered on sweaty men's bodies. and the bangla workers were really scary we just had to avoid them! but there were so many!

then we saw indochine and decided to go in for a drink. and yay! someone ordered icecream but disappeared so the bartender said it was on the house but still no one wanted so me and shiying took the cup of chocolate ice cream. it still tasted nice although it's all melted haha.

after that, nearing 12, we stupidly thought there wud be some sort of countdown.. as in someone wud start shouting 10 then we can all countdown together. so we went out into the crowded streets again. and this time the crowd was so fierce. we were stepped on by stupid heavy pple and my sandals were bare toed! Shiying was worse, she was wearing high heels. so our shoes were totally destroyed. in the end we were pushed into some sort of bushes and soil in front of taka. and we were stepping on soft soil!!! yucks!!! and the pple still continued to push.. and climb up to the platform. we just stood there waiting for some sort of rescue cos obviously we couldnt climb.. then after many many minutes we finally waded thru the soil and managed to step on ground.

so there was no countdown! the whole pandemonium lasted way past 12 and we didnt even get to say merry christmas. terribleterrible... i'm gonna stay at home on new years eve.. haha..
