How I spent my new year s eve??
I spent it here right in Adelaide for the very first time and..
I spent it with special companies..

Unexpected ones i should say..=X


Went down to the city around 5 p.m. ..
It was 41 degrees out there..burning hot..
Climbed up stairs to reach here..
Wonder why there is no lift access

I know i know..
I shall not complain but i really cannot stand the heat out there..


SkyCity, Adelaide's casino for buffet dinner..
A weird place to dine?
Was last minutes decision as most of the places were fully booked
FYI, this is the most expensive meal I have ever paid for..
AUD$55 for the first round of the night
Second round costs AUD$90 per person which goes over till midnight ..
Ngek ngek ngek..That s what we called New Year Eve's dinner..


We were seated on table #23..Lucky number??? Who we????

CoCo & Benson

Mr Bo & Grace

Evana

The dining area itself..Love the balloons..

You must be wondering why we have to pay AUD$55 for this buffet...

The crowd started to fill in the seats
My first serve

Benson & Mr Bo were trying very hard to communicate with each other Cantonese vs Mandarin

Grace and myself Chit chat and ate non stop..
Since it s too early to countdown.. We went for 3 hours Karaoke session


Me..Me..Me..
After the session, we made our way down to Elder Park for the countdown session..

The crowd there really gave me a shock..

Heaps of them..Uncountable...

Cool bands were singing on stage..

We visited stalls selling glow sticks, snacks and etc
just to kill
the time while waiting for the fire works..

Overheard the conversation below....

*******************************************************************

A: Sir, would you like to get a rose for your girlfriend??

B: Sorry mate, I would love to but I got no cash with me..


A: Not even a dollar??


B: I've got them in my credit card...

A walked away..annoyed..


*********************************************************************

Pity the guy who had to walk around the whole park selling roses on NYE..

Anyways..the countdown as usual came along with fire works..

which lasts for 15-20 minutes..cool huh??

No photos for that..
Camera went out of battery..
plus the camera took blurry pictures at night..
arghhh..Sony oh Sony..
