Celebrating New Year's Eve and the First Day of the Year

We initially planned on going to a NYE countdown party but everyone was so tired. And just by looking at the people at Vivo City Mall made us backed out. It was practically full, especially the monorail to Sentosa. I can't imagine how the traffic would be with all those people wanting to party!

So what we did, we just had dinner at Barcelos at Vivo City (thanks to my sister for the treat!) and then we all went back to the hotel.

It was a good decision, check out our view from the hotel.

Aside from the fact the we had an alcohol detox for not going to the party, we had an incredible view of the fireworks. We were also saved from the worst traffic at Marina Bay Sands area and at least we were able to sleep as soon as the fireworks were over.

We arrived at the hotel just in time for this...

The next day, we woke up a bit late and went to hawker's near my brother's office for lunch. Hubby also had a chance to check out a couple of gadget malls such as Sim Lim and Funan Mall. Although most of the stalls at the Hawker's were closed, we were still able to get a hearty lunch.

Then off we went to Orchard Road for my quick shopping at Cotton On. Boy, I was happy! (*grin*) We called it a night after having dinner at Pizza Hut. This time, it was a my Dad's treat. Thanks again Dad!
