2006 A.D.
HAPPY 2006!
here's to the start of a new year, the start of something fresh.
my new year resolution is... forget resolutions. i have grown out of the habit of coming up with them (as if i remembered what they were by the end of january). i think i will live life the way i like and the way it should be. so have a colourful year ahead all!
countdown last night was funnily weird. we stayed home, and when it was 11.55pm, everyone gathered at the living room. the tv was switched to a live broadcast of the new year's celebration at downtown nathan phillips square. we counted down- 10, 9, 8.. 3, 2, 1.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
gazed out the window to look at the indistinct city skyline, hoping to see bright large sparks of fireworks. yea we saw some colours, very small ones. on tv, it looked better with all the confetti and sparkling lights. well, downtown has all the high buildings, so the fireworks set off there were much smaller and shorter into the sky. elsewhere (we think it's ontario place at the harbourfront), there were bigger ones that we managed to get a glimpse of. mel lastman square in north york center had fireworks too i guess. blah, they were all so insignificant for long-term memory.
how did i spend 01/01/2006? sleeping in till late, waking up for brunch over our hotplate/grill. then i watched the first episode of the first season of grey's anatomy. OMG, it's my new favourite television show! i have watched some random episodes on tv, and i liked them. but now, starting from the beginning, i am going to fall in love with the series!
now to end of my first post of the new year, i'm going to talk about FOOD! yes, here's food for thought. tonight's dinner we're having hainan chicken rice! yippy! my housemates are cooking everything, from the authentic rice, to the chicken, and an additional wintermelon soup. yum yum yum..
can't wait to dig in soon. so drool you all! LOL, have a good (and fulFILLING)new year people.. (:
