So this is the new year and I don't feel any different

And so the supposed "end of the world" year has arrived.

I spent the last few hours of the year with some of the kakis and a bunch of other random people who dropped in throughout the night. We had a barbeque at eve's, with enough food to feed an army but not enough people to eat it. So basically from the hours of 8-10pm, I just sat there stuffing myself full of kebabs and sausages. Needless to say, by 10pm I kind of wanted to die a little bit.

At midnight, we all wandered to the road outside of the house to watch the fireworks; even making our own vocal fireworks at one point or another. After a while we changed locations and headed to Danni's house for no apparent reason other than a change of pace. There we toasted the new year with some champagne, a drink I actually really enjoy as it is considerably milder than wine. Accompanied with a midnight snack in the form of Salmon, it was a pretty fancy schmancy first meal of 2012.

Later we retired to the confines of couches and beanbags and watched Scary Movie 3 before calling it a night. Seeing as to how it was already almost 4 am by then, I postponed my departure til morning light appears. So we all set up camp on the floor in Eve's living room and mumbled incoherently for the next few hours before exhaustion overcame us.

There was minimal alcohol involved, zero loud dancing music and a far cry from a crowd but it was indeed a memorable New Year's Eve celebration. Surrounded by the loved ones and new friends and phone calls from those not around, it was just the way to bid farewell to a great year and welcome to a new one.

So far so good.

Cheers. More later perhaps?
