Although I admit that I still prefer welcoming 2008 in the Philippines with families and friends, our New Year celebration here was not bad. As you can see in the pictures below, our celebration was a feast. We had spaghetti, kare-kare, shrimps, tacos, fish, grilled porkchop, sopas and our contribution, hotdog on stick and ham. Hehehe! And yeah, we had red wine and lotsa lotsa vodka.
It was a good thing that our company let us leave the office @ 3pm [Jay-ar’s company let them leave by 1 pm] last Monday [Dec 31] because most of the roads were blocked already due to preparations for New Year’s countdown in different places here in KL. And as you can see in the video below, our condo was just about the right place to celebrate because we have a nice view of the fireworks. Just right after the two clock hands reached the number 12, we saw beautiful fireworks everywhere from our window then we started to cheer, eat, sing and drink. We ended the party around 4 in the morning.
Notice the fireworks in Petronas, it can only reach half of the towers. Hehehe!

I only have one New Year’s resolution for this year, hmm… I think it’s more like a wish or a prayer… I need and wish to be more patient this year… This was my New Year’s resolution for 2007 as well but sadly, I wasn’t able to keep it. I hope I will do better this year. Hehehe!
I don’t know why but I have this feeling that 2008 will be a great year for me. For one, I am starting the year right by having this mini Asian tour with my family. Hehe. Then secondly, I will be getting married [church wedding] come February. Lots of happening and this year have just started. Can’t wait for more actions for 2008. I really have a good feeling for this year.

They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down

Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me

But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
Cause there’s a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can’t take that away from me
