Every New Year’s Eve it’s the same. Traffic jams and madding crowds everywhere! Okay, I don’t mean to sound like a spoil sport but hey…it’s too crowded to go anywhere and enjoy yourself. So, for a few New Year’s Eve celebrations, I’ve actually stayed at home alone and watched TV. For as long as I can remember, it wasn’t a big deal to me. However, since this coming year is going to be different, I thought about going out to usher in a brand New Year. The first option, as always, was to go to church and celebrate the New Year with whoever was there. This year, my family members and several of my cell members are attending.
Okay, I thought…why not? It might be a little boring but it is way better than staying at home this time. Then, my friend calls me up and asks me out. However, she can’t decide on a venue to head to. I don’t blame her. Our conversation went something like this:
Her: “Hmm…what about KL? There’s this “cun” place near Starhill.”
Me: “Are you kidding? It’s going to be super crowded…plus, I have to be back by 1am.”
Her: “You’ll be lucky if we don’t get caught in the jam on the way back. You arr,
damn “potong stim”.
Me: “Eh, I’ve only got one week left so I don’t want to get nagged by my mum nor do I
I want to leave in pieces… What about Laundry at the Curve? There’s a street
party tonight.”
Her: “You want to go there? It’s going to be crowded!”
Me: “You tell me where’s not crowded?!!”
Her: *Sighs* “I dunnolah…”
The point is…I’d rather celebrate on New Year’s Day than during New Year’s Eve which in fact is no different, minus the jams and crowds. Right now, am I actually welcoming the thought of staying at home tonight, with the TV and a tub of Baskin Robbins ice-cream to accompany me…
(p/s We have yet to decide where to go to…)
