Happy New Year 2009...

To continue from yesterday which is on the 31/12/2008. I met dylan at Yew Tee mrt station at 7.50pm and together we headed down to cck to meet esmond as well as Chin Seng at Jurong East Mrt. Then,we headed down to Raffles Place to prepare for our very own count down celebration. Well,i got to amit that the place at Marina Bay was swarming with people. So crowded...its like an army of ants if viewed from the top of the skyscrapers.So we walked around the Esplanade as well as in Marina square before we found a spot for us to rest and enjoy the night's breeze. So when it was like around 11.30pm when Captain Seng decided that we should move to the Esplanade bridge to get ready to catch a glimpse of the fireworks which would be released at 12am sharp. Well the human traffic at the bridge was terrible. Flooded with people and we were trapped at the bridge for 15mins without moving. We had to squeeze through our way...horrible. Well,we were pretty irritated by the inconsiderate smokers as well as those rude '' '' who did not even say''excuse me'' and just push like some wild dogs.Come on man...this is Singapore not your kennel. At 12am sharp,the fireworks was released and it was so mesmerising and captivating...so bright. It was so loud and i felt the sound vibrating through every aspect of my body. After the fireworks,we headed down to The Fulleton Hotel to slack and chat among ourselves. All of us tried to sent messages to our friends but to no avail as there has been some connection problems. I guess there is too many people sending messages at the same time. Okay here are some pictures...
