xx New Year Countdown xx
This my second New Year countdown! But my first with my beloved. =) We met at a crowded city hall..had our last 2006 dinner at coffee club. Aww..I missed its chocolate mudpie! Shopped awhile at marina square before we decided to park at esplanade drive. Thought we were kiasu enough to avoid the crowd. But! To our great horror, a flood of people had already found themselves ideal spots on the esplanade bridge and the front borders of merlion park. We were a little crestfallen initially, nevertheless we didnt give up searching for other spots to catch great views of fireworks later in the night. Eventually, we found ourselves comfortably seated at a rather comfy spot near the merlion and indulged in our newly bought sudoku book. The time read 2220 then. Unfortunately, it drizzled at about 1100 and the crowds around us began to dispersed. But lucky for us, dear brought his umbrella! We continue to camp at our comfy spot and play rounds of sudoku under an umbrella. hee. We were glad that the drizzle stopped at abt 1130 while we were at our last round of sudoku before the countdown. When the clock finally struck, the night was suddenly brighten up with beautiful paints of fireworks that danced along with the rhythm of music. Our spot was great. We didnt wait in vain! The fireworks was huge from where we stood and the display...needless to say was spectacular! No amount of words could describe the beauty of it! And the entire display was nicely taken down by dear's camera video. On our journey back to my home, we reviewed the memorable firework displays on the train. Dear sent me to my doorstep and was treated with mom's pineapple tarts. hee.=D
An unforgettable countdown indeed ^-^
Yearn for the days of innocence
