My New Year's Eve of 2008

A conversation that took place yesterday.

Hasan: Oh man!!! I was in Tokyo for a week a few months back and I tell you... EVERY GIRL THERE IS HOT. I did not see ONE ugly girl in my entire week there. NOT ONE!!! It's like it's genetic... or like... like they dump all the ugly babies at birth (Like how the Spartans used to dump 'weak' babies at birth).

Me: Don't say dump lah.. just say exile.. they exile all the ugly people.

Hasan: Yeah yeah.. seriously... it was so hard to find an UNHOT girl there!!!

Samantha: Hey that's not true ler... I know this Japanese girl who goes for the same music class as I do and she's NOT hot.

Me: She's probably one of the exiled ones... she doesn't live in Japan anymore right?

Hasan: HAHA!!!


--------------------------------

Some of you guys probably wonder how I spend my New Year's Eve every year.

Well while some people spend theirs at street parties or at clubs but believe it or not, eventhough I'm a huge party animal during the average weekend, every New Year's Eve I choose to avoid all the crowd and spend it with my family.This year my family went for one of those Black Tie New Year's Eve Dinner & Dance events.

The good news of course is that Hasan is around this New Year's Eve so he spent it with us too.

Along with Sam of course who didn't have much else to do so she tagged along.
The party is a little bit of a reunion of sorts where I get to see some old family friends... or people close to me like my Godmother.

Yes... that lady in the picture is my Godmother... not my new girlfriend.

Now one thing I love about parties like this is how everyone gets a "Party Pack" equipped with silly hats like this.
And of course... GLOW-STICKS!!!

WHO DOESN'T LOVE GLOW STICKS?!?!

Even Samantha loves glow sticks.

She was constantly coming up to me the whole night saying
"Please help me tie this one around my wrist".And also garnering enough glow sticks to wear them all over herself, including a halo on the top of her head.

Which I thought was pretty cute.

At least cuter than what Hasan and I did with them.

"Obi-wan has taught you well my son"

Anyway, after the countdown for New Year came and everyone was done singing Auld Lang Syne, it was time for me to adjourn for some other parties, but still never to clubs.
Seriously.. it's impossible going to clubs on New Year's Eve. IMPOSSIBLE!!!

So instead, I go to some house parties like this one held by my friend Gin here.
Who supplies the booze at his lovely house that overlooks the sea.

There guys drink and laugh together.
Or chat up girls.

Or even just stand and pose.

I stayed there till 3.30am until everyone decided that it was time to go home... most people have to work the day after that. Most people.. :P

So yeah ... there you have it everyone.

That's how I spent my New Year's Eve.

Happy New Year EVERYONE!!!

Oh and as for the bet I had with my friends to have a girlfriend by New Year 2008... well....

Update: To avoid any confusion... I LOST the bet larr!! *Sniff*
