Last day of the year, an absolute scorcher, 42C. And it was on this day that we had our BBQ, as if it was not hot enough already. It was fun, though. Only took us an hour to light up the charcoal. Once it was lit, everything went relatively smoothly, except for the first batch of chicken wings, which turned darker than charcoal chicken. Besides the weather, everything was nice.
We broke up at around 11pm. Half of us went to the city for the fireworks. Truth be told, the fireworks here is not that spectacular. There wasn't any countdown, it just started with a 'bang'. And we were like, "oh, so that's 2008." Maybe it's because of the hot weather, it wasn't as crowded as the last one that I've been, the 1999/2000. Back then, I was expecting some Y2K issues, lights going out, planes falling from the sky. Nothing happened... until 2001 - the true start of the millennium (that's another story).
All in all, a great celebration. Haven't had these sort of celebrations with friends for several years now. 2007 had been an interesting year for me, to say the least, especially during the second half of the year. Here's hoping 2008 will be just as interesting, and a much better year for me.
