New year eve was spent in a 'quiet' manner with darling and szewei. Initially we found MOS too packed and rowdy to our liking so we hop over to Hed Kandi bar for a round of drinks. Kandi bar's really starting to curry favour with me, its really a nice place to sit down and have a drink and chill off. We had a bottle of Penmara red wine, graveyard and 6 shots of kamikaze. More than enough to get us more into the festive mood. So we headed back in a much more merrier mood than before.
And when we left for home at around 4.30, there was like people on every corner of the street flagging for cab and almost all the cabs were either On Calls or those Limo which 'self-charge' their customers. We were dead tired and dragging ourselves along the road when a Limo cab pulled up. The driver didn't wanted to take us initially until one funny guy paid the auntie drive $50 just to take the ride from clarke quay to zouk! Man, it was insane! $50 could take me from Clarke Quay to my house and back to Clarke Quay again! What was funnier though was he asked us to take the cab with him so we all got a free ride home in a nice Limo that was fully paid by some stranger we didn't even know!
He must be that desperate to get to Zouk afterall, I thought! What a nice way to begin the new year and I've learnt my lesson to drive out on such ocassions as its freaking impossible to get a cab.
Funnily, 2006's festive period ended like it hasn't even started. The countdown to 2007 was like over in afew seconds. I feel like a part of me is still living in 2006, its wierd.
Usually in January I'd be heading back to school but this time I'm heading back to camp.....sickening! How I wish chinese new year's only tomorrow or a week away...!
