a most underwhelming new year

It has been a very good 2010 for me, and there has simply been no better way spend the last week of it with some of my good pals right here in a foreign land.

Couldn't really remember how new year countdowns were spent but this year was surely something unforgettable.. getting stuck in a traffic jam while on our way to a club.. being refused entry due to overcrowding.. counting down outside in the freezing cold with angsty people.. seeing lotsa funny things going on in the club.. and completing the night with a chinese meal that couldn't get much more chinese.

Right now its time to go on a typical mad travelling rush of packing bags, buying stuff and preparing for another 15-hour train ride to Xi-an, where a day of snow will greet us tomorrow. Not too bad a way to start a year after the first hour of disappointment. Hope it gets better, along with trips to Tokyo and Hongkong summing up my whereabouts for these first two weeks of 2011.

This space should be updated again after my return to Singapore. Till then, happy new year!
