Hi 2007!

Happy New Year everyone!! :-) I dont have any new years resolutions to tell you about because i am pretty perfect and there is nothing about me that needs to be changed! HaHa (i'm expecting a lot of comments for that!)

Well 2007 kicked in quite nicely here on this side of the world in the beautiful city of Singapore. As i said in my previous posts i've been having a really nice time here and have met some really nice girls in my dorm who i've been hanging out with. Until yesterday evening we were still undecided how to spend the night but we just hang around at our hostel and had a couple of drinks and then walked to the esplanade which is the Times Square of Singapore! Of course we got there a bit late and there were crowds of people so we couldn't get to the proper esplanade but we still had a great laugh!! On the way there we even gate crashed a party at this old colonial building called Raffles Place and had the legendary 'Singapore Sling' cocktail... can't visit Singapore and not have a Singapore SlinG!!:-P

We were surprised that the locals that were gathered at the esplanade were not so hyped up about the New Year (in fact they were staring and taking pictures of us because we were the ones making all the noise!!) There wasn't even a proper countdown ...just seconds before midnight this lady on a microphone was saying 'think about your family'... 'think about your friends'...'now we'll have 1minute silence' (??!!??!what is somebody dead??!!?!?) and after 5 seconds the fireworks went off and we figured it was midnight! HAHAHA Weird!!
After that we walked to another popular spot where we stopped at a few clubs and then for something to eat. my roomies from Germany, Turkey and England

I hope you all had a nice start to the New Year! My New Year in Singapore was nice and i hope i can keep up this tradition of having a New Year in a different city (2005-Hk, 2006-Paris, 2007-Singapore...perhaps 2008-Tokyo?!) i wish! ;-)
