hey y'all.. happy new year... this is my first entry for 2009.. wat have i been up to.. hmmm... let's see.. on new year's eve, i left work at 3pm (half day) and i picked up sister, Farah at Jurong East.. we went first to Bugis to get herself a new school bag.. at around 5pm, my hubby then joined us and we went to Orchard.. our first stop at Orchard was at the Al-Falah mosque as he wanted to perform his prayers... after that, we walked all the way down to Far East and had our dinner at Sakura.. then after dinner, we did a little light shopping for my sis.. after a while, we got bored and decided to head straight to Marina Barrage and just hang there till midnight.. so we took the train to our destination.. the journey from Marina Bay MRT to Marina Barrage was kinda far.. luckily there was a shuttle bus leading there.. we reached Marina Barrage at around 9 plus.. at first, i was sceptical about going there and wanted to go Esplanade but when i really looked around, the place was truly amazing... the view from the rooptop was magnificient.. Fazlinah called and surprisingly, she was there too.. so we met up at the water feature/pool.. we took pictures and played with the water.. it was great.. then at 10 plus, faz and her BF had to leave for another place and we headed our separate ways. farah, fadly and me went to get some tidbits at the food stalls and then went to the rooftop to find a nice spot so that we can chill while waiting for midnight.. then when the clock strucked midnight, the fireworks started.. after the end of the fireworks, we slowly made our way to the exit so that we can go home... somewhere at the entrance/exit to Marina Barrage, i saw 2 of my friends.. Ariff and Faisal.. waved hi and bye then we left.. my sis and i reached home at 2.30pm.. my dear had alighted at Outram Park MRT station.. i was so tired when i reached home that i quickly took a shower and jumped onto my bed.. haha.. i woke up at 2pm in the afternoon... ok lah.. i wanna sleep now.. have not been feeling to well since yesterday... have to be at work tmrw but luckily it is half day!! okie dokie.. time to go now.. bye!!!
