The Suite life.

For New Year's we all went up to Santubong. It was so fun. First thing we did when we got up was swim. Heh. They have this tre gorgeous pool there. Ran into the boys on the way up the suite and they already had their towels ready. Even Serena came in. (I'm so proud of you) Min and I attempted at teaching her how to swim but I think its safe to conclude that we are not such good teachers. ;p

In the end, we had this cannonball competition. Serena and Brian. Then Jesse and Brian. Then Daryl and Jeffrey Koko. Then Serena, Brian and I. Mindy slithered her way out of this one. She was taunted for being a chicken. (We both were at first. It was pretty scary, ok?) And mostly by Jeffrey Koko, who started this whole competition in the first place. And he's her father for goodness sake. HAHAHAH.

After that we went up and it was rounds and rounds for mahjong for Serena and Mindy along with the rest of the family while Brian, Jesse and I jammed.

Then Brian, Jesse, Daryl and I played 'monkey' with a football in one of the bedrooms. It was physically tiring.


It got so rough at one point when Daryl was the "monkey" that the plastic wrapping on the double bed tore at two different places. (He jumped for the ball. -.-) We laughed so hard, trying to cover it up with the guitar bag and sweater. We failed. The tear was too big. LOL.

Later on, we joined Steffi and watched Paris Jetaime on the tiny dvd player in her room. Four of us squashed on the bed and made do. Its a pretty interesting movie with a peculiar concept to it. (And I mean that in a good way).


They were attempting AH LIAN poses. While everyone else were screaming at us to get ready, this is what we did.

Then we went for this seafood dinner somewhere nearby. Lots.of.crab. Was fun.





Everyone was staring at us. Seriously. *flushes red

We, the "kids", spent the later part of our new year's eve night at the Damai bar; for the countdown. The girls watched a Liverpool vs. Manchester City game and the boys played pool. At midnight everyone went mad with the countdown and no, none of us were drunk or even went anywhere near alcohol (too busy drooling over Torres, no doubt) but everyone else in the bar seemed to be at midnight. It was mad.



We went back to suite after that and played around with fireworks. ;p

That's what Bri used to light the fireworks. We kept telling him he was a natural, at this whole smoker thing, but he wouldn't seem to believe us and kept denying ever smoking. Hahah.


After that we went on a movie marathon over bowls of tear-triggering Korean mee and Champagne glasses filled with Shandy of 0.5% alcohol-content. Movies; Knocked up and the Invisible. Perfection. It all lasted til about 5am when Steffi knocked off.


Serena, Brian and I stayed up til 7am, playing cards. Hmm. Why doesn't that sound surprising? ;p

We got to see the sun-risen sky. Was really pretty. But somehow pictures just seemed to limit its beauty. After that we just fell asleep til 2pm. ;p

It was one heck of a new year's eve and an awesome start to the year. I got exactly what I needed.
