Countdown New Year's Eve 31/12/2008

Countdown New Year's Eve 31/12/2008

This year's celebration will be slightly different from last year. This year's celebration was held in Professor Woo's home. However, as tradition, we celebrated Sheau Yih's birthday in conjunction with the new year's eve celebrations.

The party started at 7:30 pm but I arrived there about 8:15 pm, I had a lot of trouble trying to find the place. Fortunately by sheer luck, I found it after frantically driving around and around. I brought spaghetti to the party as planned. In addition, I deliberately acted as a camera man by using my dad's Nikom P40 which so happens to be a DSLR. That night, I took like 210 photos for that event.

Here are some of the photos taken last night:

1. Me and a group of pretty ladies

18. Overall, I gave the entire barbeque party two thumbs up, also includes Sheau Yih's thumbs up as well.

These photos sum up how great and enjoyable the barbeque party was. I would like to sincerely thank Meng Wai, his parents and his sister for being such a great host. Without them, this party would not have been a reality.

I hope to have more of these parties in the coming months for the year 2009. The gathering of friends and great food is irreplaceable with anything in this world, especially in terms of money.
