HAPPY NEW YEAR!

happy 2007!! i just saw my freedom fly out the window. i know i'm holding a very pessimistic view of the year ahead, but i cant help it.

anywaY, after church ytd, i came home, before going out at night for dinner with my dad, mom & sis. went to botanical gardens restaurant... the atmosphere was quiet & peaceful, with jazzy background music playing. the food was alright, the portion was rather small, french style. fine dining. then halfway through, xt called to say dear edwin didnt wanna go watch fireworks at merdeka bridge. i gave up after a long while of begging him. i had no idea where shafik was... so xt, edwin and i decided to meet at srgn ave 1 to watch the fireworks.

i came home first, since i still had some time. the party downstairs my condo was almost empty... haha. like who's going to stay all the way till 2359h? haha. went out at abt 2300h.. i was quite blur abt the whole estate... so i kept walking and walking. i just kept walking. i eventually managed to find my way to the block, only to find out that edwin was still at the mrt. -_-. edwin wanted to see chio bu... haHA! sat with him at the block near the playgrd... to wait for xt. we were laughing abt some stuff... lame stuff.

xt was going to meet hl, hx & jeremy, and i think edwin didnt wanna see them. lol! xt and i followed edwin up to the 12th floor... the view there was good! better than mine. stood there while waiting for the fireworks... was fighting with edwin again because jaime wasnt ard to fight with him. haha. then 2007 came, and the fireworks were great! tried to take pictures of them but they were too far away. sad. edwin was still looking for girls. he said he wld treat xt to ice cream if she went up to one and asked for her no. haha!!

then we walked to the mrt station... to see people coming out of the mrt. we wanted to go wish the station officers a happy new year... but edwin didnt dare. lol! walked to central macs... xt treated him to a meal. talked for a while... stupid macs was damn crowded... so went to find a nicer place to talk. went up to somewhere, xt and i were listening to edwin's stories of his np days... damn interesting. edwin kept stopping when the 3 of them came. haha. stayed there for quite long and talking abt np.

walked to the void deck nearby... so edwin started the story of his life. and yes yes. i must admit he is a very good story teller. since he enjoyed telling stories, and we were so captivated by it, xt and i sat down and listened. he talked a lot, from kindergarten to the present... haha. we kept asking him abt this and that. and it was really really interesting!! he should just go join a story-telling competition or something. talked for very long. sat there for abt two hours.. by that time, it was already4 plus. lol. since there were many empty cabs in sight, i decided to take one home, while xt stayed on with the 3 of them. and i was the last to reach home!! the youngest and the last to reach home. haha!! how ironic.

edwin asked xt and i whether our opinion of him changed after his life story, but i replied him saying that he is one different guy that i've met in my life. he and raf are two guys that i find unique in their own way, different from the rest of the guys that i know, even my own brother. different in what way? i just dont know how to start. but they're different. and i know i keep saying this but i find that i'm really blessed to have such friends. i feel that God has really blessed me with such people. and i thank Him for people who are willing to share, and are not afraid to open up, in that way, i'll learn to open up more too. rock on!!

i'll be seeing all of them less often once work gets heavy, esp nearing A's. *sobs. someone help me!! my view of the year ahead is getting worse!!~
