New NYE
New Year's Eve!!
2 weeks ago, yet still so traumatising. Partly because everyone can only remember about half of what they did and are keeping their fingers crossed in the hopes that no one else remembers the other half for them.
Sporadic memories of NYE celebrations past are filled with sticky confetti, loud bangs, throngs of people I dont know and strangely enough, the memory of counting down in a car because we were on our way to the mamak for a milo ais, just like any other night.
Well, this year is a wee bit more special! My list of "Holiday-Eve" babies has been constantly growing! Its one of my mini bubbles of excitement. I know a Valentine's Eve baby, a Merdeka Eve baby (and a Merdeka baby), a Christmas Eve baby (even a Leap Year baby, but that's a different story).
Meet New Year's Eve baby! Aaron "CincauHangus" Ho!
Twas a special 22nd birthday celebration/NYE party courtesy of him and Thomas =D
A service apartment at Duta Vista served as the perfect venue to stuff your friends in. And boy, did it have plenty of room to throw a party.
Feast your eyes on the "Thomas Hardy" suite. Please note, you will not be prone to bouts of literary genius whilst on the premises.
Main hall with a tv that works, comfy couches, dining table and authentic spiral staircase.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen. There's an "upstairs". The jakun within is suitably impressed.
Kitchen.
A mini hall just at the main door.
Main entrance straight ahead. A bathroom more spacious than your bedroom, on the right. Authentic spiral staircase, still there.
"House Rules #1. Dont open unless told. TQ. To preserve the syokness inside"
Catch a whiff of syokness.
Make yourself at home.
There are 2 bedrooms upstairs. The rooms are so big, and the beds take up so little space, you could put about 10 people up for the night in each.
Room 1 with two single beds.
Room 2 with a king sized bed for rolling about.
The other side of Room 2. Roll, roll and roll.
The cupboard of happiness.
The plates of happiness.
Food that night was aplenty in KFC, satay, sandwiches, more KFC and pizza.
And then there were penguins.
No, really. Several "Jackass Penguins" call Duta Vista home.
Sitting all cold and cosy in an air-conditioned enclosure.
Which pained me to see actually, because I think its pretty sad for them to be cooped up like that. They could learn a thing or two from "Madagascar".
The guest list.
Relax, eat, drink, play card games, take pictures, whine about how fast the year has gone by. That's basically a formula for a good party.
DJ Domo and DJ Kun.
Label your cup. Reduce wastage.
Munch munch.
Ring of Fire!!!
Horrible game. Disgustingly fun.
Chicks.
Half-cooked ones.
Grrr.
Nadia's contribution. A great big pot of freshly cooked poser.
Who says you cant bottle up fun?
Domo arigato.
You kinda get the picture.
But of course, we cant forget one of the main reasons we're all gathered under one roof that night.
Tis time!
Domokun says "Nom"
Just in time to get a year older ;)
Domokun says "Nom nom"
More friends with benefits.
Group picture time! But Aaron's still not done with the limelight just yet.
Pictures like these blow away the need for captions.
I spy.. A bowling alley! Special tribute to Aaron hahahhahahhhha =P
Time for more fun and games! 12am looms ever closer!!
This could go on forever in a happy merry-go-round of familiar faces.
Dillon demonstrating "Bing Bang WAH!"
Brilliant game for the blur cases and drunkards!
Domokun sees all.
Learning that karma's a bitch XD
Pictures for proof. Nin-jah style!!
Stephanie really knows how to take advantage of each Kodak moment.
Aaron showing off.
Moments you'd miss if you blinked.
Happy picture series!
WAH!
This has got to be the easiest party to describe with all these pictures.
Soon enough..
5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers to bunches of fun!!
Then I got my ass kicked in Taboo and went to bed wtf.
I was exhausted!! Sigh but I had so much fun, I'm so lost for words.
But the fun apparently didnt stop there for some people.
Who knows what happened..
And we also learned that peer pressure can turn people into many things.
A little bit of this.
And plenty of that.
With a good sprinkling of those.
Casualties!!
HAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!!
KO.
Emo.
Dunno.
The aftermath.
Emptied out.
Spot the casualty!! XD
What would Thomas do?
Never has there been a picture so wrong before.
The birthday boy's swag!!
We beg you, please.
And that's the tale of NYE 2008.
If it didnt explain much, that's because there isnt much to explain anyway. It was just perfect for the moment. And its a moment that's worth leaving 2008 behind for.

Stuck in my head - "Can't Hold Me Down" by Karate High School
I can't explain it but I feel so invincible
All signs say that I can't be broken
You didn't believe when you heard me say: you can't hold me down
You cant hold me down
You cant hold me down
I finally decided to stop keeping score
I used to be so scared, but I'm not afraid anymore
You cant hold me down
