Last day of 2008, and 2009 so far

Jan 02, 2009 15:50


31 dec was an awesome day. Went for picnic with Adyll, Xuefang and some friends in the afternoon. Both Dan and I were quite pai seh cos we did not bring any food along (ok, he bought ice). It was rather last min arrangement for us so.. :p

Headed over to Pan Pacific afterwards. Jimmy had booked a room so we could get a view of the fireworks and gather for the countdown. Great company, with Calvin, Eugene, Derrick, Justin, Alan, Ashton, Eric etc. Headed out for dinner and groceries and came back to the room and ate some more! Of course there is the drinking too! But me being the good boy that I am did not drink much. Because I cannot.

Cannot drink? Yeah.. Could not change away my flight reporting early on the 1st. Was rather upset for a while, because I wanted to stay for the night and not be a spoil sport and leave earlier.

As people gathered at the balcony to see the fireworks, I stood at the back for a while, to reflect and to pray. I wonder what 2009 has to bring, and at the same time I am grateful for what 2008 had offered.

I arrived in Narita Tokyo at six in the evening, had a company dinner organised for us by the hotel before retiring to bed, fully aware that I had been awake for more than 32 hours.

Heading off to Los Angeles now. I miss home.
