:: Year 2005 is here ::

today, i waved gdbye to 2004 and embraced 2005. i spent my last moments of 2004 and first day of my 2005 with my poly frenz in SPSU again. they booked 6 hrs straight of ktv session dat cost $25/hr and invited me along at the very last minute, juz when i wanted to spend it sleeping in my hostel...to me, be it happy yr, public holiday, anniversary or birthdays, together with family/frenz or alone, as long i'm happy with my life, this is the most important.

the ktv session was quite enjoyable. in fact, i like ktv sessions alot too, but juz dat always have problems reading some of the "fan ti zi", older chinese characters. when i finally joined dem at cuppage plaza at 9pm, i saw something dat i dun like, beer. i really dislike beer alot among all alcohol types; foamy, bitter and so much gas. i dun like carbonated drinks too, maybe dat's i dun like beer. rice, white & red wines, on the other hand, are my all-time favourite. thru the 6 hrs, plus the 1 hr complementary we got, the most of the guys kept on buying and drinking. while the gers, a few who dun like beer and me, kept singing and taking photos. in the end, i started to notice dat 3 of them were really drunk and drank beer, like water during water parade. so i forced myself to drink more than i normally drink too.

the limit i set for myself is the most 1 glass or can per day, ever since i got really drunk 2 yrs ago. it was also another ktv session with my unit buddies. the 2sgt got really high, brought really alot of beer and kept asking us to bottoms up. dat night, 5 of us drank at least 12 jugs of beer. after dat, i knew i was drunk, i juz thought of the things dat i felt without caring abt anything else, dat i normally do. i couldnt really walk straight, heat was emitting from my chest and with a heavy mind. there were a few moments dat i sat down, and trying to clear and focus my mind. when i went back, i vomited alot out. i could feel my stomach contracting so much, as if it wanted to get rid of every drop of fluid inside. the pain was very unbearable and with a strench, acidic smell too. i wonder why am i wasting my time and money drinking all these, in exchange of pain and suffering. furthermore, i dun gain from thing from it, no matter how much and often i drink them. dat is the moment dat i set a beer limit on myself.

okay back to how i spend my new yr day. after the ktv session was over, all of us went to the nearest 24-hr foodcourt near YMCA, to have our supper. along the way, the few sober ones had a hard time trying to get the 3 drunkards over. they were like animal dat juz released from the zoo; 1 nearly got hit by a car, 2 almost fell down a flight of stairs, 1 raised his voice to a security guard, 1 wanted to jump over the railings and many more.

despite all such dangerous acts, they also did some funny things too; one grabbed a "wet floor" sign and pass to the other. the other hugs the sign very tightly, until i pulled it out from him and returned to its original spot. then they challenged each other to walk straight, by following a few straight lines on the floor. the sign grabber who proposed dat he wanted to eat "kway chap" at the foodcourt and asked me wat he wanted to eat after a few mins. the sign luver, kept repeating the same things over and over again. luckily, i took care of the most tamed one, he was very co-operative to all the things i told him to do.

after a long struggle, at last, we reached the foodcourt. 2 of them were busy trying to vomit outside, while the other one became sober after his supper. what a relief~! something gross happened to me while i was comforting the sign lover. when he was vomitting, he turned his face to my direction. some of his vomit landed on my sandals, his mucus splattered my face and his right hand are grabbing my leg very tightly. i was too concern abt his mucus on my face than to feel the pain, then i noticed tears rolled down from his eyes. i guess he was having more pain than i had the other time. so instead of wiping his mucus off me, i wiped his tears 1st. after vomitting, he felt very much better and slept on a pillar, behind him. finally, got my chance to clean my face and have my supper. the supper was not very enjoyable, as i kept recalling the mucus. it was really torturing my mind... felt like puking also... then another accident took placed, a middle-age malay uncle had a trip by a small step, bang on the glass door and landed flat on the floor. he remained motionless for a few seconds. being at 1 of the nearest tables to the door, my fren and i immediately dashed over, to check how is he. when we went over and ask how was he, he got up by himself and gave us a gd hand sign. dat's a gd relief~! i checked if he got suffering any visible physical injuries, by scanning thru him. at the same time, my fren picked up his bag and handled over to him.

after the supper, we went to a fren's place to KO till afternoon. with blessing of a very nice cosy weather, the sleep was very peaceful for me. ha..actually...i can sleep with peace almost everytime like a log. next, we went for a famous "ba cho mee" in geylang area. during the meal, an average-looking uncle approached me and said alot of nice things to me. telling me dat i will have gd fortune in these 2 yrs, will strike rich in lottery and shares, and even become famous. he given me a small 22k gold plate to me and kept on saying dat i will have gd fortune etc. during dat moment, i finally realised dat having gd fortune is not the most important in my life, as wat i told myself very yrs back. all i wan is to stay happy and healthy, spread my joy to my family, friends and even ppl ard me. i wan them to be happy and healthy too. be it whether is dat uncle is a fortune teller or conman, i returned the plate back to him and glad dat he would spend his time on me. so whether wat he said is true anot, we should see in the next 2 yrs, but it doubt it will come true, as i dun invest in shares or try my luck in lottery...maybe my dad will...haha...
