A confession to start a brand new year: I've never been a great fan for new year's eve party. Frankly, I couldn't agree more with what what said by Mark Twain that "New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions." Eventhough it's harmless...if it still serves the rests of the purposes listed above, then I'd rather stay home and contemplate of what I've done with my life in the previous years.... sounds very boring and kinda geeky, huh?
This year, I ushered in 2009 with a difference. Hubby, myself & our two luv'em-till-death-but-at-times-we-need-a-break-from-them-too kids, decided to have a bicycle ride to Punggol Park (next to our apartment in Hougang). We started at around 11:00pm from home. On our way out, the security guards informed us there'll be a firework at the nearby temple in Punggol. We were surprised to see there were many children playing at the playground in the park, when it was inching midnite. We let the kids play for a while, then found a spot by the pond hoping to catch a glimpse of the fireworks. Hitching the countdown from the crowd at a nearby Beer Garden by the pond (Bliss), we snapped a "the last photo of the kids in 2008" and right after "the 1st photo of the kids in 2009". But we we rather dissapointed, the photos were too dark (stupid handphone camera) AND we couldn't really see the fireworks...only some glimpse of the lighting on the dark skies...no thanks to all the tall HDB Flats. We could've had a much better view from our apartment of the 8th story. But no regrets...since we had such great family time cycling from 2008 into 2009!
My new year's resolution? Same as previous years... to be a better me!
