Well since it is the 1st January, Happy Neew Year to all :) Last night, Drix & I decided to celebrate New Years Eve by heading out to New Empress Restaurant & Woolwich with Nancy, Kyle & Rachael. Because I felt odd snapping photos while everyone was hungry, I decided not to take any (which is a shame) but we ordered a banquet for 6 people although it was required for us to take out one dish as we only had 5 people. At $48.00 per head, I guess it wasn't bad as we had peking duck pancake, san choy bow, salt & pepper crab, fried rice, rainbow steak (I initially disagreed on ordering this dish as I didn't like it the first time I went to New Empress), honey prawns, seafood combination in bird's nest (the bird's nest was made from potato :o) & fruit with ice cream. Us girls left it to the fellas to finish off everything and soon enough, we were all bloated. We did catch a glimpse of the 9pm fireworks from the restaurant but the trees and buildings we in the way sadly. We left the restaurant at 9.30 and went straight to Woolwich. We thought we weren't going to be able to get into Woolwich as the cops closed off the road to get to Woolwich but luckily, there was shuttle bus services so we were able to park our cars and still make it for the view at Woolwich :) We got there around 10.45pm and were all surprised over how spectacular the harbour had looked and how close we were to the bridge! Well, with time to kill, us girls had a couple of drinks and chilled out before we crossed the road over to the park where a majority of people were already waiting to catch the fireworks. I must admit, not many people say it but I really despise alcohol and its side effects. Both Nancy & Rachael were fine, in which they had more drinks than I did, yet I was the first one to go tomato red & nauseous :( Such a weak drinker I am and all I had was a Jagerbomb & Alize!
On the bus & gosh, Drix looks so seedy here haha!
LOL at kyle..
New Year's kiss.. ruined by a photo bomber!
Thank god I did not miss out on the fireworks, as I felt like I was going to throw up. Poor Drix had to walk me to the other side incase I did chunder but it was all good as I did feel better by taking a walk & not only that, my mind was telling me not to feel sick as I could not miss out on the fireworks. Although I spent last NYE in the area watching the fireworks on top of the hill, the view from Woolwich was definately worth travelling for. This year's display was absolutely beautiful & from what I remember there was hearts, diamonds, clouds and many more! After the fireworks finished, we all queued up for the shuttle buses back to the car park and drove back to the area. We got back around 2am and chilled at Rachael's house til 3.30am. It was a memorable night and I'm glad to have spent it with my favourite people :)
