HELLO 2011 with S/F07B!!!
This year's NYE countdown was vastly different from last year's, just like how last year's was greatly different from the yesteryears too. But you know what? I wouldn't have wanted it ANY way else. It was at/after the countdown and our subsequent party that I realized how much I am loving my current single status, and that while it was extremely romantic to have spent last year's countdown with my then-boyfriend, I really cannot imagine seeing myself as part of a couple now.
Funny huh! Funny how I was just SO depressed over the break-up just a few months ago, and now I'm totally understanding what "SWINGING SINGLE" means. How time rids all those negative feelings! Which is why, I sincerely believe in "This too, shall pass"! :)
So, anyhow, met the girls (minus our dearest Melody, who like me last year, went to meet her other half!) for dinner! And did our Secret NYE Santa gift exchange! This is the first year we're doing this, and we're intending to really keep it a tradition every year from now on. We don't do Secret Santa (as in during Xmas) because I'm usually not around, plus we're DIFFERENT like that! ♥ I think as we grow older, we have learnt how to treasure each other more and more. Not just each other, but the mere existence of our sisterhood and the fact that we're still so tight (and getting EVEN tighter) with the years that pass. It's pretty amazing, how we're both going through so many different things in our separate lives, but when we come together, it's like INSTANTANEOUSLY, we're able to click just like before. So, this 2011 (and the years later), I sincerely pray that the 6 of us will grow tighter than ever! So that we can go to each other's weddings, be each other's kids' godmummies, and still come out to dine like today. Super love! ♥
Okay this was from Timbre a few weeks back, just before I flew to BKK!
After dinner, we met the guys at Marina to watch the fireworks together! I think this has been an ongoing tradition for the past 3 (?) years already, just that due to different circumstances, this is the first time I've spent NYE in its entirety with them before. In that week, I think we have seen each other like THRICE (class dinner/Harry's, clubbing, NYE fireworks), and somehow, I really think we've gotten closer. Awesome please! :D
So anyway, we being extremely kiasu GBW people, walked super fast to the front and managed to 'chope' a huge enough space for us to camp and promptly plonked our asses down in a circle. And it was only 1015pm when we did so?! So we literally sat and did NOTHING for the next 1.5 hours or so. Mega boring! But us being us, we could keep ourselves entertained by talking shit and poking fun at each other. KBKs and SAUSAGE GUI omg slappable >.<
FASTFORWARD.. Fireworks! I literally BURST into tears when the fireworks came on. A tear fell and I fiercely rubbed it off with the back of my hand. And my dearest friends, seeing how my eyes were still welled up with tears, gave me bear hugs - so lovable ♥ But I thought being emotional was really within reason - I really couldn't help remembering what it was like exactly a year ago, how instead of a tear, I was actually given a hugeass smooch when the fireworks went off.. but most of all, I cried because I felt so fucking liberated and HAPPY that I had finally gotten closure and put the heartbreak behind me in 2010. YAY!
After that, we were all hunger bunger ttm, and so we walked back to get the cars and made our way back to Hiok's house - not without getting some Macs first! 60pc nuggets FTFW (Y) And after 3 super funny and retarded rounds of Circle of Death after, it was time for sparklers!!!! :D I really love my class - and friends of 7B :D Super fun! At 5am, we were like 10 crazy kids literally ushering in the new year with a big BANG. We hung around chatting for the next 2 hours, while waiting for the boys' alcohol to subside so that they could drive me/us home :) As usual, ZH is the best (Y)
*Photo spam cos this is one of the most beautiful sets of photos ever! :D
They say how your year will go is pretty much dependent on how you welcome the new year. While this theory has obviously proven itself wrong last year, I still subscribe to it! With such a rowdy and happy countdown with all my dear friends around, I really hope 2011 would really be a year of this - friends, love and joy all around.
Jer shared this with me once before: "Life Is Good. Be kind, be true, seek peace, keep the faith, be a friend, sing a dance, be in love, treasure family, cherish laughter." She told me to choose 2 of the most important ones to me, and I chose "Seek peace" and "Cherish laughter". And when I closed my eyes to make a wish (many wishes actually! And okay fine, I think I'm the only retard who makes wishes on fireworks, but I really do la!), I wished those 2 for myself, for my friends and for my family. (And then I finally remembered to wish for a better CAP hahahaha)
So in the year ahead, may you seek and find your inner peace (which will subsequently translate into happiness from deep within) and never forget to laugh (even if it may be at yourself!) ♥
HAPPY 2011, EVERYONE READING THIS! :D
