Here's a quick recount of my last 168 hours before the arrival of 2007:
Mon: X'mas. Lonely X'mas. That's all i can say.
Tue to Thurs: drag my body to Mowbray for lesson.
Fri: Gotten my RP Cert. Now an official RP. YAY!!!
Sat: Post X'mas shopping in town. But before that, catch Lie With Me at Yangtze. (Again? Must be mad huh??) Shopped for a wallet at Topman and a Arena swimming trunk. Yeah, kinda f***ing narcassist by getting branded trunks and briefs. And kinda show off for expensive taste.
Sun: Countdown at Vivocity. The trio (the same old trio that consist of me, Lawrence and Jess. What a pity Clarence did not join in. ) had a dinner at Kim Gary Restaurant in Vivo. (Oh yes! Kim Gary has finally reached here. Too bad for people like Lawrence who goes for XXL portion, the pricing of the dishes sets him back from getting more.) The quality of the food is there, but for the same price sold in Singapore, you can get 2 serving in M'sia. Jess and i had Baked Chicken Chop with Cheese rice in Bamboo steamer while Lawrence had Chicken, Fish and Pork Chop with Veggies with Fries. OMG...I think, i am fantasizing on the 4 chicks in Sex and the City.
Especially Sarah Jessica Parker.
Imagine we are dining in Kim Gary Mid-Valley Megamall:
Jess: The same old usual Bamboo Rice Steamer with Chicken Chop and Cheese Set Meal
Me: Same as her, but i will add in Yun-Yeung (combination of tea and coffee and milk and sugar) and thick toast with peanut butter and condense milk.
Lawrence: What he had in Vivo + Thick toast + Fries + Fried Chicken Wing?? (Hehe bro. Sorry if this is true/false!)
Special Apperance of Tash: any a la carte dishes with 2 ice lemon tea. :P
After dinner was a one way direction to GV Vivocity, for Lawrence and i decided to catch the 1.30am show of Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat: Cultural Learning of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhastan. Yes, the title is freaking long, but the duration is freaking short.
At the box office counter...
Me: Hi, i would like to have 2 tix to 1.30am show of Borat, please.
Counter staff (who look like a 17 yr old to me): Uh can i have your IC please? Please be reminded that this is an R21 show.
Me: Yes, i do know about it.
Staff: How many people are going for the show?
Me: 2.
Staff: May i know who is going for the show?
Me: (My jaws almost dropped. No, it should be my pants almost dropped off)
I turned to Lawrence and we showed our 11B to the staff.
Staff: Well, i have to check for the age, if not i will kana leh. (Kana means get it.)
Me: Is it true that there are tonnes of underage who wants to catch Borat?
Staff: Ya lah, but they are not supposed to watch it anyway. Anyway, just show your IC to the staff before entry.
Seems that forbidden fruit always taste sweeter, especially to the youths.
We made a turn to Level 3 of Vivocity, and headed straight to Countdown at Vivocity. And i just found out that the pre-celebration performance sucks. You can see it for yourself if you feel that Mediacorp's programme is getting from bad to worst.
And as the clock tick-tock itself away, we have reached 2007!!!
Audience began to leave the amphitheatre when S'pore Idol cum TP student (or TP graduate?) Hady began to sung George Michael's Freedom 90. As a fan of Georgie boy, that was...
We left and head down to Pacific Coffee Company for a Coffee.
Ah...love the idea that Pacific provides alfresco dining with those lovely rattan seats and sofas. All of a sudden, i feel that i was in the Eden of Coffee Plantation. Soon, Americano, Snapple and Caramel Latte with that utterly sinful chocolate cake and 2 almond crossiants filled the table. A wee hour coffee/tea time?? Hehe.
1.30am was the time for that outrageous comedy by the Briton actor who made himself famous for the role of Ali G. And the hall was filled with laughter of dirty acts, dirty jokes, tonnes of craps and...you can imagine.
It was 3.15am by the time we step out of the theatre, and thus it began what Lawrence called, the Route March. I add in: without full battle order. (well, full battle order simply means a soldier carrying his rifle with his skeletal battle order and his heavy fieldpack.)
And the route march began from St James Power Station...
Passing by Tanjong Pagar train station...
Walked passed Happy, the gay pub that is closing its door on the last day of 2006...
Cut through Chinatown, heading down to Clarke Quay. Saw youths sleeping outside McDonald's Chinatown Point...
More people sleeping on the road towards Clarke Quay...
Cut through Clarke Quay, stopped by a convenient store, bought Red Bull, walked further down towards the Parliament Hall...
More people sleeping outside the Parliament Hall...
Passed by St Andrew's Cathedral, decided to see the sunrise at Espalande...
Walked through the underground towards Esplanade, and saw more people sleeping...
Head towards Esplanade, and saw more people getting drunk, sleeping, fighting, fishing at Marina Area...
Saw the location of the upcoming Ferris Wheel at Marina Bay...
Walked towards Kallang River. Take a break, and enjoyed the view of the river...
Saw National Stadium, and walked towards Geylang Double Lorong...
And stopped for breakfast at Yong He doughstick and Soy Milk eatery.
It was 7am by the time we had breakfast and we go separate ways for home. Lawrence on a bus, and me, a train. Saw tonnes of youths waiting to go home on a train. Youths that party outside for hours...
Goodbye 2006. Hello 2007...
p.s: Lawrence n Jess, if you happened to saw this blog, just to tell you that i enjoyed the night. Thanks for the night! Without the 2 of youth, New Year would never be the same again. =)
