Happy 2005 Everyone!!!

Happy new year everyone. 2005, a new year with new aims, a new number, new aspirations, but still the same old brand new me. a new year began with the death of hundred thousands. tsunami victims are piling. aids are rushing. there seems to be no end to this catastrophe. it seems to be immortal. maybe the consoling factor could be the tsunami washing away all those evil terrorists hiding on small forested islands. even that could not appease the thousands of families who lost their loved ones and their prized possessions. for me, these people were unlucky to fall under the wrath of nature. however, all over the world, people are still celebrating, for the main concern is the receiving of the new year.

happy as all other people are, new years eve was as joyous as before. wad i did on new years eve was d 1st in 16 years. it all seemed predestined. everything planned for itself. in the morning i went to play bowliing with my cousin and his pastor. it was quite cool for me, as i raked in some high scores despite my absence from the game for like 2 yrs. after that we went to the katong basement's chicken rice shop to have lunch. d chicken rice there was one of the best i've ever eaten. it was so nice d smell of my rice enticed the pastor to order the same food as me. he even treated me to that meal. After the meal, my cousin and i went to meet nigel at toa payoh's pool hall. upon reaching we saw ridzuan, marcus, eugene, jerome, earl and a few others. the whole place was reli packed so we ha to queue to wait for our tables. Ridzuan and gang soon got tired of waiting and went 1 story below the pool place for some lan-gaming action. my cousin n i den intelligently walked to the table nigel was playing, as nigel had some friends there who was already playing. We waited for awhile and true enough, they offered my the cue stick. i eyes lighted but i wasnt ready to accept it. however, being the gentleman, Bill(nigel's fren) sis friend's bro held the cue stick in my hands. i accepted the offer and played a halved game, as during the game another table was unused and we took it. i then proceeded to the empty table and played a few good games. soon after another table was unused and we decided to take it for ridz and gang. however they were still playing lan and came up only fifteen minutes later.

pool is an expensive game, i agree. haha. since my birthday, i've spent over $120 on pool i guess. that's lyk $120 spent during the course of only 1 month! After that we went our separate ways; marcus and gang went to harry's house while nigel n cousin n i went orchard/ps. we met my cousin's church friends but left soon after. my cousin had a curfew so he went home, leaving nigel and me. we proceeded to meet tiffany, glamis n glamis's fren. fast-forwarding to minutes before the countdown; we had been separated as glamis met his friend and went to esplanade while we remained in orchard. my cousin met us again unexpectedly as his curfew had been surprisingly lifted. we went on the streets of orchard armed with cans of foamers and streamers. during countdown it was hell. many people dint reli care dat above us on the world map many people are still homeless and dieing. we were spraying each other with the streamers and we four certainly got alot of it sprayed back at us. After the hectic period we all went to have supper and finally ended our new year countdown.

tiring it was, but certainly happy n satisfying. we had hell of a time, but i really wish more people could have joined us in the countdown. if only there werent any conflicts... wad a better time it would have been...
