Fast Forward: Happenings of 2011

Happy New Year PULL YOUR EAR!!! A common phrase back in secondary school days. Baboo decided to tug Russy's ears and he let out a yelp hahaha.

Cheryl Miles & Jeremy Ratnam were the hosts for the New Year's Eve Countdown Party. Baboo was doing Outdoor Broadcast counting down the HOT 100 HITS OF 2011.



It was so tiring and I have to escape elsewhere to sit down and rest as no chairs were provided.


Had Tiger Crystal as well as it's the Official drinks for the event. It's so goooooood compared to Tiger Beer. Really love it and I finished the whole bottle!



I didn't get to see any fireworks after counting down. The whole area was sheltered. Next year I'm definitely gonna stay in a hotel. Nevertheless, the pyrotechnics were beautiful :)





2011 happened in a flash, earlier in the year I was having my internship and now I've left school, entered the working world. I miss school life because sometimes I will end lessons at Mid-noon, or even better 12pm on a Friday because of IS. Now, it's a daily mundane routine where I will returned home at dusk :(

The most exciting thing that happened in 2011 is travelling to ORLANDO


It took me weeks of persuasion before my Mum gave me the green light. Terrorism, Guns, Dangerous are the words that she said excessively for that period. Furthermore I wasn't going with a tour group and it's my first time so she was extremely worried. Kudos to my Dad for putting a good word for me and giving me additional $3,500 to spend hehe :) Food is rather expensive over there because of tipping. One of my Disney breakfast even cost me a hundred!

We kinda got lost 1 night when we missed the last link bus to our hotel and we dropped off at Holiday Inn and it was freezing cold at about 10 degC and I had only a thin pc of cardigan with me. Thankfully, a car rental company situated inside the hotel gave us directions back to Downtown Disney.

And also, we kind of saw people dealing drugs in front of our eyes. It was around 11:30pm and they were fidgeting around the bushes, hiding a bag of stuff there, and this man even boarded the same bus as us. We were so terrified that we even planned to sound the bell 1 stop before our hotel to see if he will be eyeing/following us. Haha, these are just minor issues, don't get affected. Orlando is really a wonderful place and I'm visiting it again probably in 2013.
