2009

The funTies started with zhichar at Chinatown, walked to Macs at Liang Court, settled at Brewerkz for the good part of the evening, and ended with Bak Kut Teh near UE.

Ushering the new year with the people who you grew up with is the best way to do it. Plus one unexpected phone call and a couple of messages from those you thought forgot. Comfort, bonds and testimony to friendships enduring the tides of time.

And since the NRs were packed and I refused to call for cabs which were happily exploiting the situation, I made a 5.2km trek home in 2.5in heels at 3am in the morning.

The journey gave me time to reflect on 2008. And made me remember the qualities I strive towards; and that we can do anything we set our hearts to.

New year celebrations continue today till the weekends!

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.” ~ Neil Gaiman
