Happy New Year Everyone!

New Year's countdown was a blast tis time.
Tgt with alumnis we went over to sisters island for it.
Had a cozy, tasty bbq.. must take my hat off to those alumnis whom always have their way with making food taste so great!! =)

Den came the fun part.
Ard 11+ we drove out to near the marina barrage there to watch the fireworks..
hahas, it was a whole new experience to sail at night lor, & when we arrived at the area, it was a whole parking lot of yachts.. wooaa.. some with onboard parties too!!
As the clock stroke midnight, the fireworks party started.. Yeah!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Alas to the ongoing spectacle in the skies, we had our own seafarers "symphony orchestra"..
Those big cargo ships n yachts had their onboard lights brightened to a shiny tuxedo.. & they started playing the piece, by blaring their horns & smaller crafts accompanying with air horns..
Bright red flares shot up one after another decorated the venue, signalling the climax of the piece.
& yes it was a marvalleous piece conducted..
hahas, i think if any ships were to be in distress at that time, nobody wld be able to come to their rescue lor..

We stayed on a little more to "soake in" the festive mood before heading back. The skyline was covered with a think layer of smoke, shading the CBD area.. seemingly it looked as if we were under attack frm enemy forces n we were on the rubber dingy as offensive.. hahas..

Back to sisters, was playing cards for the night & back to PM in the morning.
It was argueably the best countdown i had experienced thus far..
Big thanks to the alumni n cyn n ang for coordinating it!
=D
