New Year Eve countdown
31st December 2014
Kudos to new year eve, im entitled to half day off which I assumed most of the workers out there were given this benefit too. What brings up another happiness would be the special welfare we gained. Human resource catered the best to our welfare. We have staff buffet right after a president's talk done by the adviser, Principal and Vice-Principal.
The buffet was so grand which was host by i-don't-know which caterer. My colleagues and I simply dashed out of the spine area to grab our plates and utensils.
Buffet was meant to pick all the food that was displayed on the table. But being not a glutton me, I took bit by bit on every dish (just to be safe that I didnt over-eat). There were many different type of prawns but being a non-seafood lover, I skipped trying that.
Shepard pie was good but colleagues think that it was too salty for them. Different people have different tastebud. They preferred the seafood though.
One of the highlights of the buffet would be the dessert booth and that was one of the reason why I try to eat as little main as I can. I wanna save my best tummy for their desserts. I was awed by the macarons served on the rack, The Human resource team were very generous in ordering different colours of macarons. All of us had a hard time to choose our flavours. The area was congested most by our people. Kiasu Singaporean you see there! Some even hold two plates full of macarons. HAHA
In the end, I got chocolate, salted caramel and raspberry flavours and the macarons were so good! I would have offer for more but the flavours were left with the unpopular one.
What a good spread we have! We even went home with small little gifts prepared by the Human resource team. Everyone was attributed to a notebook with one of our 5Cs and I was awarded the most compassion worker! We even have a passport holder too!
That evening, we went over to Natasha's house for dinner and also to countdown together. I was really glad that Bf came along to countdown with us. My heart melt when he told me he chose to celebrate with me rather to his secondary school mates. THANKS B, I promise we will take turns to celebrate with our friends on every new year eve.
The night was all about feasting and feasting. With Natasha's sister in law around, our mouth will never stop moving. She prepared her own secret recipe of Chicken and Tofu and everyone has to give a thumb up for her cooking skills.
Specially thanks to Natasha's mum and her family for hosting us, preparing all the steamboat ingredients right after their work, ensuring that all food are ready before we arrived.
Maria and her sister make pancakes for us and decorated those gingerbread pancakes.
Our next plan was to train down to Clarke quay for a drink so before we left, we gathered everyone to take a welfie shots. Even Natasha's aunty joined us in the photos. HAHAHA! I really love how selfie stick can be so efficient and convenient for all of us, especially in a big group.
How can we not say HELLO to Ashlyn which she spent most of the time sleeping. Didn't get to play with her but I can't wait for her to grow faster, having her first foot step so that we can play catching in the house together.
Our countdown venue was at Clarke Quay and I can't emphasis on how crowded the place was. I guess this will be my last time heading to CQ for countdown. Many incidents happened on that night and we were so close to enter into the clubbing but lucky we didn't. Till now, at the age of 21, I haven't step into any clubbing yet and I thought that I won't and never want to enter in.
Drinking at CQ was so expensive that we have to get our alcohol drinks from 7-11 but who knows that they have marked up their mixer price! A small bottle of 7-up cost us $3. The workers definitely knows when to suck our citizen's money.
I guess god helps me for enabling things to happen that resulted us to skip the queue. Although it was a disappointing ending, let bygones by bygone and learnt from mistakes. In any way, I'm glad that I am still able to celebrate and countdown with my closest friends. Not only that, the second countdown with my beloved Boyfriend. May 2015 be a better year for all of us! I believe it will!
Didn't really get to see the firework as we stood very far from the firework. I heard it lasted 10 mins?! But Oh well, not fated to see! I shall replay it on xinmsn.
Till then and with a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
P.S: Still procrastinating on whether to type out my 2015 resolution and have a good closure on 2014.
Till then.
