happy new year

there was at least a reason for me to celebrate NYE cos qq won herself an air ticket to LA for salsa congress as a champion of a yearly salsa competition at union square last night. esther, pocky and i were there to support her. we were screaming so loudly and everyone turned to look at us. :P

before that was a dinner at original sin. it's so hard for me to pick anything from the menu cos everything they have seems to be very scary. full of all kinds of vegetables some i don't even know. (and yes.. you know, my vocabulary on veggies is very poor) but the NYE set was so good. the main course was something like a slice of cake consists of layers of mozzarella, portabello and spinach. it was one of the best mushroom dish i ever tried. and champagne is not good for me. i felt dizzy after 3 glasses leaving pocky to finish the whole bottle by herself.

btw, i read the news and heard a lot of people wanted NYE celebrations to be canceled (esther is one of them). they claimed a lot of people have recently died because of the tsunami and we shouldn't be celebrating. i say a lot of people are dying everyday. now that you're aware of it, now that it's your family, you want the whole world to stop and mourn for you. i think it's ridiculous. it's totally different issue. of course we should do everything we can to help the victims and their families. but by canceling the celebrations won't do any good to them. in fact, you should have taken this oppotunity to do some donation drives (like what some have done). people are in a good new year mood. they're willing to donate. i think people should think twice or thrice before making so much noise about this and that. it's just irritating.
