into the maddening crowd

sometimes i'm really glad to be back in Singapore, but tonight is a classic example of what's not so cool about singapore. -_-

went to esplanade area for countdown to 2007, an obvious mistake considering more than half of the singaporeans had a similar intention. hmmz.. so cue the crowds and crowd control people, as well as the sweltering heat and asphyxiating stuffiness associated with throngs of people and switched-off aircons. -_-

and i stupidly wore long sleeves, thinking we were gonna chill at some pub or smth. gee. that's mistake two, because cover charges and generally anything to do with drinks or food were prohibitively high and just irritating considering how you specifically know that you are being swindled since there ain't anything really special about today. man

well aniwez, what pissed me off the most was that we spent an hour plus waiting around the esplanade area, getting squeezed and packed like sardines and getting elbowed and nudged by countless of horrific banglas and fat women to see.. a display of fireworks at 11.00pm that could be mistaken as someone's sparkler party on the rooftop of a building. it was that bad, like some emasculated, pathetic excuse for a firework. not impressed.

so maybe we didn't wait till 12.00 for the true bonaza, but i guess most of us were pretty much irritated and pissed. lol.. maybe only me but heck. but i seriously couldn't stand the banglas elbowing around and just meshing themselves with the human crowd, ESPECIALLY THE DIRTY SWEATY ONES. then fat obnoxious women who similarly throw their assets around and force their way to the crowds should not complain of being molested or groped err.. because you were the one using your assets as battering rams to get past the crowd!?

seriously not too impressed. lol.

but well, the main intention was jack jack birthday.. and bay did the errm.. "interesting" idea of buying everything jack related for him.. cue the jackfruit, jacket, jack daniels, jack and jill chips, jacknife, jack and the beansprouts(for defence against possible bangla attacks).. u get the idea.(i thought it was beyond lame man.. lol) so err.. happy bday jack! everyone have a smashing 2007 as well!

p.s. this is traditionally the post where i reflect on 2006 and stuff.. but a little tired and cranky, plus for the first time i wasnt back at home when it struck twelve (yeah.. i was stuck on the mrt -_-).. so yeah.. coming soon bah. =)
