i feel so sorry for those victims of the tsunami tragedy..its so close to the end of yr 2004 but yet this had to happen..what's more so many asian countries had to cancel all their countdown parties as a mark of respect to those who died..i think this is the worst tragedy of all times as death toll,144000+ now.. seems to be the highest..hope God will bless them and their families..well..yesterday was the first time i celebrated countdown wif my frenz till 2am..me and my frenz all went to mrs tan's hse for pot luck! farhana's mum helped us to fry bee hoon..cook curry chicken and she even made tarts..really yummy yummy..bcoz it was too delicious..the gers actually bluffed the guys and told them that we finished the tarts..hahahah! but actually we (the gers) hid it in the fridge and we secretly had our mini tart party in the kitchen..lol..then we spent 5 hrs watching lord of the rings-the return of the king and at 12 midnight..turned to channel 5 to watch taufik's exclusive video of i dream..wasn't really up to my expectations but still..its enjoyable and there was this mini countdown aired by channel 5 where after which the sg idol finalist n some mediacorp artist wished us all a happy new yr..told my fren jessica abt it n she practically screamed "y no one tell me?" coz i told her sly oso wished us happy new yr n she got even more jealous..haha..hopefully channel 5 will broadcast the countdown someday but doubt they will coz who will be in celebrative mood to watch? esp when new yr is over..lol..n juz now there was a repeat of the affairs of the heart charity show n i managed to record sly n his band's version of an jing..even got a clear part of him strumming his guitar(solo)..n i juz received my hp bills yesterday..226 bucks in all..out of which 188 bucks were spent on voting for sly(for final 3 and finals) and after counting..i realised i voted 330 times for sly alone in the finals!! omg..i'm so surprised bcoz i voted non-stop n dint really noe how many times i have votedn i even tot i onli voted at max 200 times bcoz my thumb was really sore from voting n the process went really slowly..so i really got a shock tt i voted 330 times for him! but its really thrilling..esp with all the idol mania..n because of this..my mum gave scolded me like crazy..she confiscated all my sly posters and grounded me frm shopping for 6 mths..sigh..but nvm..i'm gonna get a job after my A's and earn back my money..God will surely prosper me too bcoz 2005 is a yr of overflow!! woohoo! i'm gonna live expecting =)
