GONG XI FA CAI

hey it was chinki :-P chinese new year...otherwise also known as the Lunar new year..
and pretty strange the whole of the singapore looked desserted while the chinkis stayed inside the'r abodes..cooking (am mentioning this as these people like to eat out n it requires a celebration to cook at home)...n this is the year of the ROOSTER as they say..so i guess we are going to eat rooster and only rooster all this year..:D

it was a holiday break for us..starting from the new year eve...that was two dayz back..what a gala treat my boss's offered..jalebi's n pakora's in Singapore...thats what u call luxary man!!
N then we headed for chinatown to take a glimpse of the celebrations...to our disappointment the place was crowded as hell n the fireworks were supposed to startt at midnight n we were looking at the sky at eight..:-P that was really great somebody also pointed to us a place where u can catch the glimpse of the fireworks n we were standing there and gazing at the sky....at 8 pm four hours before the show..

Left china town to head for Little India..mustafa for the rice..with shoaib n ankits...then from there headed for INVINIANS the indian food was calling..that was some good indian food..i liked it ..then we decided to head for BEDOK...to watch a hindi movie..yes a hindi movie in Singapore..BLACK was a good movie to spend time !! though I think i would not had njoyed it so much had it been India, but this gives u a mental satisfaction here in singapore that u are closer to home...

n then next came the SENTOSA party..yes yet again we headed for SENTOSA...for the first day of the new year....it was a great day..i never knew beach volleyball was fun..cycling was a nigtemare.
THe best thing was the CARLSBERG VIEWING TOWER worth spending 20 dollars upon...the sea n singapore looked really good from up above 131 metres above sea level the highest viewing tower in asia they said....

n the one thing that I didn't mentions till now and which was the center of all the fun..was the home cooked food..yes everybody has brought food from the homes...and it was all fundoo mouth watering food...rajma..pea-pulao,gobi korma,lemon rice, fried chicken,chicken curry....so much to eat!!

Came back home at 2:30 am ...do u want nething else to mark the new year...sleeping on the beach!! ...i think this was really a happy new year!!
