2009 to 2010

So 2009 has finally ended. I would say that 2009 was neither particularly bad nor good. There were many goods and bads that happened through out the year but the most notable thing was me failing "Colors and Vision" which inevitably led me to another semester in NUS. Then again, it was because of me repeating 1 sem that I was able to take Korean 1 which turned out to be 1 of my most enjoyable modules in NUS (didn't get a good grade though).

2009 was also the year that I got into the Korean craze. It was early this year when I first came upon Girls' Generation's Gee and believe it or not, I actually thought it was annoying but the pretty girls from the group caught my eyes leading me to searching more videos of them. Watched their debut single Into The New World and got hook instantly. The more songs I listen to, the more I got addicted to the girls. Which in turn led me to watching every single variety show and dramas that the girls appeared on. One thing led to another and I got hooked on many Korean variety shows and dramas even if the girls are not in. From the girls, I moved on to the other artists and I found myself drawn to Korean music. Doesn't matter whether it's the hot girl groups or the macho guy groups, I love their music and their stage performances.

So how did I spend my last day of 2009?
I went out with the same usual gang that I hang out with to The Curve! Went to Tony Roma's for dinner. Never expected it to be so expensive, caused us 80 bucks per person and there wasn't even any pork ribs. Food wasn't bad but I wouldn't say its very good either. Given a choice, I would not choose to go back to Tony Roma's in Malaysia anymore but I'm still aiming for the pork ribs in Singapore. Watched Sherlock Holmes after dinner. The movie finished nicely at 11.45pm giving us 15 minutes to walk out to watch the fireworks. Fireworks this year wasn't that spectacular but then again, I never did enjoyed fireworks. It always looked the same to me. I guess the highlight for the night was the foam spray. I've always been safe from foam during every countdown but this year the people were merciless. So many people were spraying, it looked like it was snowing the whole time we were out there. To a certain extent, watching white stuff flying down was a pretty nice sight =) Left The Curve right after the fireworks ended and as expected, we were stuck in the jam for about an hour. Ended our night yam cha-ing in a mamak like we always do after every event.

New years day?
Spent the whole afternoon watching Full House with my family and then went out for dinner with the same gang again. Dinner was at some restaurant in Kuchai Lama. Food wasn't very good and was a bit pricy too. 30 bucks per person. Headed off to Kenneth's place to wii after dinner. Played a 4 player Super Mario and had loads of fun. We laughed so much till our heads and stomache started to ache from the laughing. Haven't laughed so much in awhile. Love the Wii, it's probably the only game console that is able to give such enjoyable times to a group of people.
