Happy New Year!

OMFG! It’s already year 2010?! How did that happen so quickly?
Hope everyone had a great new year and getting ready to enjoy the brand new year.
Quite alot of my friends happen to be away from Sydney during the holiday season, I had a quite low key new years eve with the close friends in which we identify each other as “the usual.” Man, after coming back from the hectic trip to Tokyo, I barely had time to prepare much, to be honest. How time flies…
We simply decided to gather up, eat whatever we feel like eating, and chill. To help clean up my pantry & fridge, I brought a beetroot, sardine, feta cheese and bean sprouts salad, cold cut cucumber with minced garlic, and two sushi platters from Makoto. Again.
“I just wanted something spicy.” says Hisae, and we also had some Korean side dishes & Samgyeopsal. Yumminess. As usual, I was the one to keep eating even after everyone was relaxing in the living room watching DVD.
We then headed to Westfield in Bondi Junction. For what, you might ask? Did you know that you can watch the fireworks from the balcony deck?
And at 4am Hisae and I were the only wide-awake ones left – still eating and planning to stay up till we see the first sunrise. Unfortunately we were only to realise that we should have left when outside was still dark. ;p
Unfortunately the sky was cloudy and the sun had already risen by the time we got to Bronte. We stared at the sky for awhile as waves lapping against the beach. I don’t know if it was the crisp morning wind or the peaceful scenery before my eyes, something surely made me sense that this year is going to be a good one again. With new and old friends. And more food.
Happy new year to you all

This looked like an excellent way to send off the old year and welcome the new

Happy new year to you Helen! It was such a nice hidden place to enjoy the fireworks! But, I still think watching it on TV is the best LOL

Happy new year Lorraine! If you are to be in Bondi Junction on NYE next year, you’ve got another option where to see the fireworks! Apparently BYO accepted! We should’ve done that!

親ともなれば、案外長期の休みって逆に休めないか（笑）
つか、とまこまい、ご近所転移希望！おすそわけしに行くからさー！！

誠くらいしか開いてなかった、ってのが本音なんだけど、でも、まぁ、無難な選択だったかと（笑
仏舎利でおせちとかやってくれないかなぁ〜〜〜
