It seems as if the year went by just so fast. All the things that happened with it and not. 2006 was by far one of the most eventful years for so many reasons and I find it hard to find anyother year prior to this that taught me more about myself, my friends and the ones I cared for. It just passed by way too fast and now we're already in 2007. So here's to the new year and for a year just as good or better than the last...
NYE celebrations tho were another matter totally. Definitely beat 2006 NYE celebrations eventhough my book-a-suite and party like crazy plan with everybody got derailed by a reluctant barry. *mutter* But then again in hindsight that might have been a good thing. Here's a recap of last night.
8:00 pm :: Bird's open house party starts. Complete with full set of catered dishes and drinks and a truck of durian outside.
8:05 pm :: Shakes Bird's dad's hand and almost gets mine snapped into two. Makes mental note...don't mess with Bird's dad. lol
8:30 pm :: Watches as uncles and aunties attack the durian guy and cart off durian to their respective tables...totting along bottles of Cordon Bleu and red wine. Notices how everyone at our table politely refuses attempts at passing durian to our side.
9:00 pm :: Decides to heck it and get it over with it and calls ex to set up coffee to catch up and smooth things over once and for all. Its a new year after all right? Said ex is flying to China soon and may not get a chance to meet up. Hmm blessing in disguise?
10:15 pm :: Group decides to meet up with the rest at Cynna @ heritage row. Am quite surprised that KL wasn't so jammed despite the hordes of mat rempits and 5 year old cyclists clogging up 2 or 3 entire lanes to themselves.
10:45 pm :: Struggles with the anal retentive door people at Cynna who obviously don't have a clue in their heads on how to manage a door front. Everyone makes a mental note to disregard crappy place for rest of 2007. Bunch of pretentious snobs... We should have stuck with Velvet guys.
12:00 am :: Bottles arrive and everyone barely has the chance to get a proper drink in hand before the lousiest attempt at a countdown is initiated by the prepubescant dj. We made more noise doing the china-man yam seng to the countdown. Which reminds me, apologies to the fine ladies who had to endure the brief moment of cina-ness lol. We blame the presence of Faizal our chinaman wannabe malayman. :P
12:05 am :: Swooping in for random nye pecks. Was bitterly disappointed inside when realised there weren't any mistletoe around. *mutter*
12:45 am :: Decides its time to go save Ms Lim from the hordes of people she barely knows. Bid adieu to Cynna and moves over to Shang room 18## a.k.a TJ's NYE/Bday Bash. Caryn immediately decides to take my head off within first sight of me for various reasons. Am sorry darling but well....honestly....as shit as Cynna was as a place. At least I knew most of the people there.
1:00 am :: Tired and cranky cause well, tiny suite and lots of drunk unknowns plus acrid smell of weed did not mix well with Justin under the weather. Heads back down to private room (courtesy of Suef darling).
1:30 am :: Me, Lim, Suef, Bird and Kong decide that staying in our room would be a better idea than at the party upstairs. End up talking crap and scrutinizing Shang's ridiculous room service prices. Opens RM16 can of sprite as mixer for the grey goose.
2:00 am :: Tin-chan is starving and suggests that we go for beef balls or lo shi fun. Everyone agrees. No one makes a move from their lazy butts.
3:30 am :: We finally get going to Jln Silang. Justin has not been there when sober. Hence driving there last night was more of a road trip. After 20 minutes we give up and head over to Jln Alor instead for the beef balls. Takes only 5 minutes for that instead.
4:00 am :: Justin wants to kill his passengers who are about one of the most irritating drunks in the world. But I love them dearly. Still should kill them tho.
4:30 am :: We drop Kong off with his brother and head back to our room at Shang. I decide to call it a night and take the longest hot shower ever. As usual I get the floor and proceed to freeze my ass off the bed. Some Hugh Hefner I turned out to be. 3 girls and me on the floor and they on the combined double beds. Pffft....but heck was just them. lol
5:00 am :: Have no idea which random guy Suef has brought into the room who wanted to take a shower? Was just getting comfortable on my floor.. ZZZzzz
10:00 am :: Rush down for breakfast. Checks out. Realises I'm down with a leaky nose. Great start to 2007...
