New Year Celebration With Some Of My Bestest Friends In London

This 2009 New Year celebration is special to me for 2 reasons.
The first reason is I have not been celebrating New Year and going for countdown for perhaps the past 5 years. The last time I went for countdown was with my family in Bukit Bintang when I was doing my A-level in INTEC in 2003. Well, I missed one celebration (2004) in INTEC for a reason that I can’t recall :-P. Back in IMU, I missed 3 New Year celebrations (2005-2007) because they coincided with my major exams (sem1, sem3 and sem5 EOS). I guessed I could have gone for the celebrations but you know, exam fever la..I was a bit stress back then and friends couldn’t be bothered to celebrate either. All we did was standing in some high balconies in Vista Commanwell and witnessed the fireworks from afar. I also missed Hogmany in Edinburgh last year because the weather was horrible. I decided to turtle at home :P
The second reason which is by far a more important factor that makes my 2009 celebration more meaningful is meeting up with a bunch of my good old friends. Ah, the feeling was so freaking good lo and words simply just not enough to describe it.
This picture was taken in Glen's house. We were all watching futsul on TV. It was great fun to have so many friends around. Err, not sure what were Glen and Ah Hooi doing at the corner. Don't ask me :p (I suspect they are gays. just joking)
Thanks GLEN For hosting us in London!!!

From the left: Kok Hooi (err, hao lien face. just joking), Lee Yan, Kok Foong (yup, that's me), Glen Tan (my buddy in INTEC and IMU) and Shen-Han (my buddy in INTEC)

Similar picture as above with Glen as the photographer :)

Eh, what else i can say. Jolly good to have all my buddies and housemates around for new year in London.

Ah, this picture is taken by a professional. Who else if not me? haha

Lee Yan, what is with that hand position??? haha

Me, Shen-Han and Lee Yan

A panda, a horse and a monkey (hey Lee yan, you should join them too). These 3 dudes are some of my bestest friends and they are a bunch of jokers. One word for them,'funny.'

Oh, i am so lazy to comment.

Behind us was London Eye at the Thames river. It was freaking cold but still we waited there for 4 hours just to witness the 10 minutes 2009 countdown. Silly but worthy:)

Some random picture in the China Town:)

Thanks for the wonderful time and memories, people. Hope you have had a lot of fun too. We should celebrate new year together next year, hopefully :-> (hmm, i guess this is a wee bit unlikely as we will be doing elective around this time next year)

May this 2009 be a wonderful year for all of us. All the best, my friends.

PS: Thanks very much, Glen for the Sarawak Curry Laksa, Kolo mie, and roast duck rice. wow, fantastic wei!! Also thanks Shen-Han for your Kebab, fried chickens and chips :)

As for Poh Sen, terima kasih for footing the bill for me for the japanese cuisine in London!!
