I hope I don’t scare you just yet with the horrible photograph. It gets better, promise! xD
New year is almost always synonymous with fireworks. Or in my case, TV program, where the MC does 10 seconds countdown, with everyone else in my household already fast asleep. Hell, I even watched ‘Love Actually’ with my little bro for 2007. For once, this year, we, as in me, my brothers and my mum, decided to leave our warm hotel beds and watched the fireworks. Surprise, surprise.
We went to a bakery inside the lobby, with a very strategic view overlooking the spot wherein said event was to be held. Naturally, almost all chairs were taken, good seats and even the not so good ones, which we took. . I fixed myself a cup of hot chocolate, and the cheesecake was yum~
Fifteen minutes into the 1st day of 2008, there were hundreds or so people awaiting for the New Year Countdown. I have never witnessed such fabulous and noisy fireworks up-close (read: not in the room / inside car). Never mind that I was ever so alone outside the cold. They had refused to join me earlier, opting to stay inside cuz it was way too crowded, and unsafe, and cold, basically crowded. But someone’s got to be the photographer *lol*
I didn’t know which part of their reluctance that made me more surprised. That I finally admitted my family are not really big on holidays, nor are they ever going to be, or if it is the realization that dawned on me that I’m so much like Izzie from Grey’s Anatomy, festive moods, crazy holiday spirits and all (I hate Izzie ~_~), while my family are Meredith and George and Cristina and Alex, who don’t believe in Santa Claus (Sorry for TV reference xD). I decided that that was one of Izzie’s acceptable qualities. Not that she had many.
Oh dear. Everywhere I looked at- not that there was much to look, I could barely move myself without getting lost in the human wave- there were couples, young and old, families with small kids … And I swore that the lovey-dovey couple beside me, who could easily be charged with PDA overdose, also attempted to literally blow my eardrums (not to mention eyesight) with their paper trumpets. I now dislike paper trumpets with passion :/
