Just came back from the countdown not long ago.
Well, I left the house about 6.15pm to have dinner with my relatives at some chicken rice shop in serangoon. It's a restaurant okay, not a food court or a kopitiam. LOL. I liked the chicken rice there but we had to squeeze a lot as there was only one table and erm...about like 15 people. So once we finished eating, the adults chased us out. Okay lah...not really chased. hahaha. Us meaning, me, hsiaoching and hsiaowoon. After that we took the money that they gave us and went to McDonalds. We bought a large coke and large fries to share. We were all really full so we didn't finish them.
Straight after, we went to the countdown at Marina Bay. It was soooo crowded okay, like all other countdowns are. Hsiaoching or Hsiaowoon was like,"Why people wanna migrate to Singapore? Singapore's so boring." And I was like,"Cos they siao." LOL. When we went there, it wasn't that but but when we went back, HORRIBLE. hahaha. We were walking and walking looking for a place to settle down and after what seemed like ages, we finally sat down on a spot on the grass. But. It drizzled like a few minutes after we sat down okay, stupid. So yeah, we opened the umbrella (which was so long that it could fit 4 people) and covered ourselves. We were playing around with it, tipping it at one corner so one of us will get wet. My feet was in the rain so it got kinda dirty. It was still around 10 at that time and a loooonnnnnnnngg way to go before the countdown started. The rain got bigger and we went into the mall instead.
We went to find a place to sit down and started playing games. It was soooo boring okay. LOL. Me and Hsiaoching played with Hsiaowoon's ipod and all of us fiddled around with our phones. And we actually sat through like more than 1 hour of agonizing boredom. At least to me lah. LOL. There was this place called the humble hut and they dont accept people with slippers, shorts and sleeveless shirts, exactly what hsiaoching wore. hahahaha.
Then finally, 11.50+, we went outside for the fireworks! :D Waited for a few minutes for the fireworks display. Quite nice lah, lasted about...10minutes. No one was countdown-ing lor. LOL. Not countdown at all. -_-" Yeah, so after that, we went back. All the people were like going towards the exit so it was like gonna be a stampede soon. At least it looked like lah. haha. Everyone was pushing and squeezing and I was like kinda squashed in the middle of some people. haha. There was this mother who said,"Rang Xiao Hai Zi Guo!" Which means, let the children cross. So she ended up pushing everyone and I was almost gonna fall and I got pushed against some guy. Another one was like pushing everyone just to let him get in front. So impatient lah. Anyway, we finally got out of there and the security people made everyone wait cos some VIP was coming. So it was really crowded there. The VIP turned out just to be two cars. -_-"
We were walking along the street and most of the people were walking there too. The street was not supposed to be blocked, yet people are just like walking in the middle of a road. There were cars okay! And so paiseh lah. The cars were like honking then when people make way for them all of them will stare at the people in the cars. LOL. There were motorcycles too! One almost banged someone. haha. It was kinda scary for me and really funny. Hsiaoching was like,"If I were the driver, I would bang all of them." hahahaha. We finally got into the car and drove back home. We got to be one of those people in the cars that the people were staring at. They weren't really staring lah and there was like only half of the people there, but hsiaoching was like having a retarded smile on her face and she waved at the people outside. LOL.
Right. That's all. Happy new year, guys! :D
