Good bye 2005, Hello 2006!
As per tradition for last few yrs, celebrated ST's birthday at her house. before that, i was coll's Steph place at juring west.. was comical getting to that ulu place..after picking zhanglao, SS and EC from Boon Lay station, we tried to find our way there. on one hand, ZL was on the line with steph who kept telling her we were very far away. on the other hand, SS was on the line with her BF who's looking at a phone dir giving us directions.
under the instigation of EC, had to make an illegal u-turn. alamak! narrow road, plus slope plus yellow box. car slided in front though i already switched to reverse gear.. panicked! oncoming traffic coming! ZL then announced there's a police car too! turned out we were doing this in front of a police station.. was so scared i'm going to get booked.. haiyoh! felt the blood draining from my face and my foot was trembling on the clutch!!
luckily the policeman didnt bleep me, police car turned left while i turned right.. ZL laughed as she recounted the look on the policeman's face. like what audacity we have to do this in front of him and his office! Haha! think if he was to stop us and see us 4 very hysterical females, he might have taken pity of us and let us off too...
finally reached steph's place, duh! not that far at all since it was only next street. she made really good hawaiian pizza from scratch.. years of having her husband's MJ frens as guinea pigs.. ha! we are so lucky...
then it's time to get down to serious business.. of MJ! what else!! fantastic luck for me.. kept winning big between 3 to 4pm which made me realised it must be my lucky time cos last time i also won during this 'shi chen'.. they complained i very 'xiong' cos was once i full 5 'tais' but still 'zi muo'.. so they all have to paid the max... :) i was grinning from ear-to-ear..
later at ST's place, also had home-made pizzas.. quite good too, except for the salmon one, very salty.. her birthday cake is lana's with almond ice-cream.. sinful and good! Mango wa late and when NT called her, teased that she is welcome to bring the whoever guy she is with.. but as it turned out it was due to her hair appointment and she looked good.. we both agreed the older we get, the higher maintenance we need..
dinner conversation was around gym membership. turned out all of them now have signed up for some gym or the other.. surprisingly even mango gave it a try.. sigh!! moving with the trend, quite predictable..
after dinner, we headed down to Bala.. of all places, they wanted to chill there.. was expecting a huge crowd as it always is on weekdays, and it's proximity to Esplanade.. but i was totally wrong.. we reached there 10pm+ and still managed to get huge sofa seats inside and later 11pm, outside..
Fireworks at 12mn.. toturous.. could hear the sound and see the smoke reflecting the colours of the rockets.. but we were blocked for Raffles LInk and later Marina Mandarin hotel.. could only see the stray explosions and we lapped them up anyway...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
