New Year's Eve, I spent roaming the streets of Amsterdam, heading out for the flower market at the break of dawn and doing all the last minute shopping possible. Also included a major shopping spree in Monki, my new found love just along Kalverstraat.
12:00, midnight Singapore time aka 5pm in the city of vices, I was happily soaking (defrosting) in the tub with bath salts, my trusty first generation itouch, a strawberry lollipop and the Monki magazine. Totally oblivious I was to the commotion in my lovely sunny island.
12:00, midnight Amsterdam, I fell asleep just about one and a half hours before and my brother's definition of 'wake me up before 12, I want to countdown' was waking me up exactly at 11:59. Groggy eyed and sluggish I dragged myself out of the couch (yes I was sleeping on a couch but more of that later..) crawled to the window with my sony and counted down in my jammies and disheveled hair. Snapped a few shots of the fireworks before crawling back to the warmth of my couch and staring at the firework from there for a good 15minutes or so. Conclusion, I have a new found hatred, firecrackers.
As for the actual New Year Day? I spent it on a plane, joy. Then again, I hope it means endless miles of traveling for the year (and years) to come. But really, a 12 hour flight is not funny, especially when the in-flight entertainment doesn't have anything else to entertain you with and you're wide awake. It's a love hate relationship with that flying metal bird.
Date check, 3rd January. The only productive thing I've really done thus far is to pay my massive library fine of $18.70, kinda wanted to start the year on a clean slate... ha ha ha
I hope I have it in me to post all the pictures of my trip soon. I'm sure everyone spent NYE/NYD in a smashing way :) I hope give this little corner (which no one reads but I kinda like talking to myself) some kind of revamp soon. Till then x
