Bye bye 2005, hello 2006.
That's what i told myself when i was in Orchard with Shyam last nite, to celebrate the arrival of the 1st day of 2nd half of the decade.
Celebration of countdown follows after we had dinner at Cine Orchard, and that's where i met Gina the Great (my team member actually.). Crowds spray foams on one another, and when the clock strikes 12, everyone cheered.
Decided to pull ourselves from the madding crowd by catching the 12.45am session of King Kong. Somehow, it is somekind of good choice to celebrate the arrival of 2006, but a bad choice for catching a 188min drama about a cheo bu played by Naomi Watts and her encounter with an ape named Kong, who eventually fall to its death at the Empire Building. The show is good, but draggy. Somehow, Peter Jackson had the penchant of directing long hour movies. Previosuly in The Frighteners by Michael J Fox and Heavenly Creatures by Kate Winslet wasn't the case.
Just wonder what will the director of LOTR do for his next step.
Traffic is a killer, asll night service bus is fully packed with youths who crowd themselves with the crowds. Finally, we managed to get ourselves into NR7 at 4.50am and enjoy a different view of Orchard at the wee hours. Starbucks are still crowded with coffee lovers who wants a piece of tranquility at the start of 2006. Perhaps a cup of hot chocolate and a cranberry scone would be nice, especially both of us would have to wait under the rain.
Eventually reached home at 5.30am. Perhaps i should told myself, go and sleep outsiden before going home.
Somehow, the weather has been pretty unsympathetic. It rained like as if there is no tomorrow.
Even till now.
Happy 2006. I opened my hads towards a new life, a new era of me, and a new phase of me.
