Celebrate 2012

How did you all spend your 31 Dec 2011? Did you spend it with your love ones? Did you do any countdown? For Robin and I, we went to Marina Bay for the countdown party and to see the beautiful fireworks! =)

First, we met at Marina Square for dinner. We had dinner at this place called Jia Xiang Sarawak Kuching Kolo Mee. It tasted great!

After dinner, we walked over for our countdown party. Boy, it was really crowded. There were many people - both locals and foreigners.

My wishes are on one of the wishing spheres!! Really hope that my wishes will come true. I will need to go and pray one day soon. 

The place looks really beautiful at night.

There was such a queue at the mobile toilets =.=

At first, I was taking photos of the fireworks then I thought why not I just take a video of it? There were 8 mins of fireworks but my phone no batt!! What a time to no batt =.= But I did use Robin's phone to continue taking the fireworks video. 

I just took this video from Elvin because my video only turned out to be 45s and I can't upload Robin's video!!!

People looking at the fireworks from Mandarin Oriental hotel. Great view lor!! Think must specify these rooms when you book the hotel.

Very crowded after the countdown. These are the people in front of me.

These are the people behind me.

Overall, it was a great experience except for 2 things.

1. It is really no food and drinks allowed. Can't even bring in plain water! This is like literally forcing us to buy drinks. My green tea cost $2 and Robin's ice mountain mineral water cost $2.

2. There was a human jam after the countdown. Really human jam!! Was stuck at the Esplanade area for 1 hour. Heard many people muttering and ranting around me. There was a guy who even argued with the Esplanade security staff. The Esplanade security staff really has attitude problem. Why the hell did he need to shout at people on New Year's day?

Also see the countdown celebration and fireworks in Taiwan:

And in Hong Kong:

And around the world. Youtube is so amazing. You can find all kinds of videos there!

Had wanted to type out my new year resolutions and 2011 reflections but I am really tired now. Will keep it for another time =)

Once again, may we all have a good year ahead of us!!

Went to collect my tickets for the Celebrate 2012 at URA on 29 Dec. Also gave away my McDonald's foodstrap to Janice on that day. By the way, I really panicked when I heard the announcement that the train will be delayed for a few minutes at Cityhall MRT. For a moment, I thought that I would have to walk on the tracks! Luckily, the train was really only delayed for a few minutes.

On 13 December, I went to volunteer at the Cineleisure Wishing station. Managed to get quite a number of people to make their wishes. Some of their wishes were really creative and their drawings were good! I have also made my wish(es) at the same time. Really hope that my wish(es) will come true =)

I was making my wish. Guess what is it? 

Ta-da. Something I wanna achieve in 2012!

*pray pray*

The Wishing station.

See, so cute! Nice =) 

Superman bear? Equals to Superbear? Haha. 

Now for those of you who haven't made your wishes, you might want to go down to any of the wishing stations to pen them down now. Must do it fast because the last day to do it is tomorrow, 18 Dec!!

You can also go to http://www.marinabaycountdown.sg/ to pen your wish(es) virtually. Fyi, I did both ;)

Hi people. Remember my earlier post regarding the floating spheres which you can write your wishes on? Well, have you made your wish(es) at the various locations yet? If you haven't, join me in making your wish at the Orchard Cineleisure Wishing Station. It is located right at the entrance to Orchard Cineleisure. I have volunteered to man the booth tomorrow from 4-6pm. Support okie?

Hello people. I'm sure many of you have already made plans for Christmas but have you all made plans to welcome 2012? The new year is coming soon!!

This year, the Wishing Spheres are floating on the Marina Bay Waterfront once again! Did anyone write your wish last year? Did it come true? I didn't make any wish last year but I really really have a wish this year which I really really wanna make.

See how beautiful it looked last year with the wishing spheres floating on the Marina Bay Waterfront. 

Join me in making a wish at one of the locations. Check out this link: http://www.marinabaycountdown.sg/#/location for the locations available, dates and timings. I will most probably be making my wish at Cineleisure =) More details later.
