NeW YeAr’s eVE

It’s always great catching up with friends. One of my fave pastimes is to meet up and just YAK! I had the best new year’s eve of my life entering 2006. Met up with 3 close friends from med school. It wasn’t like we went crazy trudging down Orchard Rd spraying people with foam and groping them (those people ought to be shot). But we just had some quiet time together catching up.

Dinner was a quiet affair at Balcony, at the Heeren, followed by drinks at Acid Bar. All to the tune of live music at the bar. We even decided to be a little more spendthrift and opened a bottle of white wine! My parents commented before that girls seem to spend more, and seem to know how to live it up more than guys. Everywhere they go the people who are spending are women =)

I know lots of friends who actually dislike this festive season cause it is a lot of shoppin, spending and it’s almost compulsory that you must be happy and enjoy yourself. If you dont, it’s like you’re abnormal or s’thing.

But for me, this period has always been a season of giving and of love. My mom’s birthday is in Dec so my family is always out for lunch and buying gifts for my mom. Dec 18 is my sister’s wedding anniversary and Dec 31st is my parent’s wedding anniversary. With so many special family occasions cramped into the last few days of the year, we always have a lot of fun getting together and celebrating. Eating then becomes a family pastime during this season! But once all that merrymaking is over, it’s time to hit the gym :P
Unbelievable, but 2005 has just flown by and we’re entering 2006 now. Hari Raya Haji is here already and before you know it, Chinese New Year is gonna be over to!

I was supposed to come up with my new year’s resolutions but Ive been procrastinating… hehe… will sit down to it some time soon. =)

Meanwhile, here’s to a happy Hari Raya Haji to all who are celebrating this festival. May we all have a great 2006!!!!
