Dancing Through Words

2008 has begun!!!

I can't honestly say that it was a splendid start, as I received a tragic news about one of my closest friend's loss. Her father passed away on the 31st of December, 2007.
Ni, I'm here for you. Always.
To those who are reading, please take a moment to pray for the deceased. *Al-Fatihah*

*Inhale..Exhale*

I spent New Years Eve at Coco's. BBQ! We did it all on our own. Bravo Bravo! Hmm.. But we are old enough aren't we? Haha.
There were drumsticks, lamb, kebabs (we had to improvise on the wrongly cut beef. We asked the butcher at Tesco's to cut the block into steak-like pieces but nay, he cleverly cut them into small squares. Square steaks!? No way!), potato salad, BBQ potatoes, chicken alfredo (Thanks Izra's auntie!), mac & cheese and garlic bread (courtesy of Fateen), bihun goreng (DD), nasi goreng (Azfar) and uhmm.. well, loads more! A little too much for the party of 12, no? There were plenty of leftovers! And I mean, PLENTY. Enough for another party!
We sang, danced, grilled (Lee Ann), laughed, & jumped into the pool. Well, Izra PUSHED me and DD into the pool. Hilarious!
When the countdown started, we gathered at the outside TV area with our paper crowns and those pop things. Those little bottles with a string hanging out at the bottom and when you pull it, it goes POP! and confetti comes out. Yeah, whatever those are called.
12am - "HAPPY NEW YEARRRRR! pop! pop! pop! pop! Woooooo..." Song in the background : None other than Dancing Queen by Abba. Were we celebrating 1976? ~
Fireworks started and we rushed to the opening and saw fireworks from 3 different locations. We had to climb the fence to watch. But Boyfriend didn't. :)
I couldn't ask for a more perfect countdown. Had my loved ones around me. I was over the moooonnn...
We then started to play 'pss' and later Pictionary. The former was a tummy twisting round of good fun. I laughed so hard!! We hit each other hard too! Man, the pain was immense. But totally worth it! *grin*
Played a bit of Pictionary before me and Boyfriend had to leave. Said our goodbyes and walked towards the car. I got to open up the convertible! *bigger grin* Ooohhh Fateen gave me a balloon so there I was in the passengers seat broadcasting my balloon to the people of Shah Alam. Haha.
Parked in front of my house and reminisced about the night. :)))))

31st of December 2007 - A night well spent!! Definitely unforgettable.
