Happy New Year!

This year was indeed a special one.. the 1st time I spent it with shengwang as his wife. haha.. scary the sound of the word 'wife'. Nevertheless.. it was great!

we had our usual steamboat.. the only difference was.. we had it in the comfort of our own home! after food, we played Wii (courtesy of SW's friends for our ROM) and at around 1030pm, we decided to join in the crowd for the countdown to 2008!

taking dad's suggestion, we decided that we wanted to watch the fireworks on the Sheares Bridge instead and to beat the traffic, we want to travel on the direction away from Bedok when the clock strikes 12.

and so we planned our getaway route. haha...

we reached east coast park at around 1115pm and we chatted while we waited.. haha.. apparently, it's not a secret to wait around there at that time.. there were many many many cars there as well.. haha... and at around 1150pm, all the cars streamed out of the carpark and onto the expressway! haha...

notice i used the word 'streamed'? haha... it's seriously DEAD SLOW. most cars were travelling at most 10km/h~ and they only gained some speed if the siren from the TPs could be heard. haha...
SO exciting!

That's us stopping along the road divider!

And so we slowly drove and stopped along the way up the expressway... and when we saw the 1st spark of fireworks, we knew it was midnight already!Sounds of car horns could be heard everywhere along the expressway! So cooL!!! pple were juz jamming their horns to welcome the new year!!

And the fireworks were great!

Look at the speed at which we're travelling at!!!
3km/h!

And the 1st bravest & coolest thing I did this 2008 was.... and i'm proud to say....

I shouted "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!" to the traffic policeman that we drove past at about 3km/h!!!!! And he greeted me back loudly too!

haha... so happy!

And after 8 minutes of slow driving on the usually 90-100km/h road, the fireworks died down and we picked up the speed and drove off! haha... so cool not to be stuck in the jam like the cars on the opposite side of the road.. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
