here comes 2009

Time flies so fast, I believe. I am still in the midst of enjoying Christmas fever and the next thing I knew, it’s all over because the New Year is already at hand.

The 2009 New Year celebration wasn’t really a big deal for a family like ours (composed of Dad, Mom, Me and Sis). In welcoming the New Year, we had just a simple celebration. My Dad used to buy fire crackers, but since the weather is inconvenient for such stuff, he didn’t buy one. Instead, more sweets were bought (so much for my delight…sweets are my favorite…not to mention those luscious chocolate varieties…yummy!). My Mom and Sis enjoyed cooking the pasta, making the salad, float and other stuffs (they both love food…thus they love cooking as well). On the other hand, the nothing-to-do me was just out there somewhere, preparing the drinks for the celebration (including the champagne…=D).

A few hours before the actual celebration, my Sis and I spent the whole time playing PS, while Mom and Dad kept us company and served as our audience. After getting tired playing, we spent the last hour at our parents' room and had a little chat regarding our New Year’s resolution (talk about sharing).

At 12 midnight, we greeted each other with hugs and kisses, turned the music on, and blew our horns. After we ate, my Sis and I went at the neighborhood (cousin’s house) to watch the fireworks display nearby. To my dismay, firecrackers and fireworks display only last about half an hour. Thanks to the good weather.

Despite the simple celebration and a little mishap due to the weather, I still had a great time. To welcome the year with your family around you is already a blessing, so why ask for more?
