Had a fun night last night.I would say the people you're with will determine how much fun you get. No bottles were uncorked last night.....perhaps this is the first celebration we had without any alcoholic beverages. This is a good start to the new year i figure, because i think i drink too much already. Besides, I should be drinking tonight anyway ;)
Going to the curve wasn't a problem at all, no jam, ample parking spaces fewer than normal people walking around. Perhaps its because we were there as early as 6pm. Walked around looking at stuff and let SR get some of her (ahem) "Stuff" done.By 7.30pm, the boys were still not there yet, so we went to take our reserved seats at Kenny Rogers and waited for them to arrive before eating dinner.After that we sat and chatted awhile before going into the cineplex for the movie.
The movie was awesome. Night at the museum was boring at first but it got interesting with its wide cast list and great dialogs. Who would have thought that a T-rex was as tame as a puppy? Oh...and the dumb dumb love gum gum thing was rather cute.Love the part where Ben Stiller was shouting in "his own made up" HUN at Attila the Hun and the facial expression of a very confused Attila the Hun was priceless. Somehow, the Hun language sounded kinda Malay to me...weird.
Just as we finished our movie, we made our way to the road outside looking for the best place to see the fireworks. We made up our mind to stay under the connecting bridge between Ikano and Curve coz we would be able to see both sides of the empty space if it was to shoot at either side of the sky. We busied ourselves with the digital camera,*wink* as always and waited for the time the pyrotechnic starts.
It was a wonderful display of colors on the sky. While people where enjoying the fireworks, (thank god for the invention of digital cameras) we attempted our very own group photo with the fireworks behind which was greeted with stares from other visitors but it still turned out great.I recorded a portion of the fireworks on my very lag and blur camera phone and for every fireworks that was shot into the sky, i cannot help but imagine my university fees being burned cause The Curve and University Of Nottingham are both under the same company.Loved the spiral fireworks the most......it looked great.
After watching the whole thing, we hugged each other and wished Happy New Year among ourselves and took more pictures.We jumped into our respective cars only to start the new year with a massive jam in front of Tesco. We officially moved 10 meters in 1 hour.The rest of the time we were stuck either at the parking area or at traffic light.It usually took 5 minutes to get all the way to the LDP,yesterday we took 2 hours to get there.Mr.min was lucky that they parked at the edge of the road so they got out to Island Cafe in ss2 in 10 minutes.At that time our car and J's car was still in Tesco coming out of the car park. After 2 drinks later, they called us only to find out we were still outside Tesco.So they went to the cyber cafe while waiting for us.
Only later on did we know that Mr.min and KR was reserving 8 seats for us while there was a long queue outside......pity them la...no wonder they felt bad and went to the cyber cafe instead of taking up space.When we arrived 2 hours later, the place was still pack but we still found a table. By then all of us were half asleep and trying hard to stay awake, but when the camera is out again, everyone was awake again.Took more pictures and when it was close to 4am, we bade farewell to ZY who was to board the 8am flight back to China and went our respective ways home.
In the car when heading back home, we talked about what has been in 2006 and what we expect in 2007.I'm very happy that we have all grown closer with each other.Now we will miss each other when we don't meet at least once a week.I'll be back to Semenyih on Tuesday after my Cousins wedding Dinner.So it'll be 2 and a half weeks before i'll be back in PJ again.
