The 1st Day of the Lunar New Year!! (29th January 2006)

Hie Everyone who is looking at this blog! it is indeed the first day of the Chinese New Year and what a day it has been for lil' old me! *brutall*

I had started duty yesterday at 430pm at Chinatown.. I left the division with the honest idea that my day would be basically to look out for those evil-doers among the crowd since i was in plainclothes.. hahhahha and i think that sumone had heard my prayers to be given meaningful duties... i was in the barricade team comprising of 5 officers.. =)

my first ever chinese new year duty was indeed a shock to me. never did i ever think that the crowd would be so huge!! hahhahha it was realli realli packed on CNY eve! the China men, China women, Singaporean men, Singaporean women, and others of other genders and other races!! hehhehhe Basically, barricades are an impt equipment in an event. people tend to get over-excited when the mediacorp artistes come along!

Here are just some of the artistes who were within 30 metres from where i was standing!!
1. Fann wong
2. christopher lee
3. moses lim
4. zoe tay
5. jamie teo
6. michelle chia
7. michelle chong
8. edmund chen
9. chen li ping
10. vincent wu

well, thats all that i noe of! hahhahha indeed, a star-studded event with shaolin gungfu as well u noe!! hahhahha first time i saw wif my own eyes, this little boy, doing somersaults using his head! as in he lands on his legs then head then legs then head then legs then head!! superb i must say!

Marking the Lunar New Year was a fantastic countdown that eventually was celebrated with a superb fireworks display followed by thousands of firecrackers deafening everyone present!! it was indeed a sight to behold! i will be posting a few pics which i took using faruq's hp when i receive them okay? =)

Well, i had finished duty upon the crack of dawn around 4am.. i got to sleep in the office and resulted in myself suffering from a stiff neck! but it was indeed a superb first time for me in this duty of mine! i reallie intend on learning sumting new everyday so that life will be meaningful!! -)

well, as a promise from me to all you blog readers/hoppers, here is my special quote for the day: An apple a day keeps the doctor away.. an apple a day means 7 apples a week.. that would mean 70cents per apple times 7 days! in a month it would be $21.60! if it were to be continuous, wont it be more beneficial and financially sound to go doctor once in a while insteead?

Point to ponder guys and gals!!
