31st Dec 2014
Spent the day catching up with a group of close friends from high school (Gosh I sound so old) . Well this group in particular is made up of people from the after school chinese lesson, which is why we call ourselves MCA ( obvious much?) The day out with them was rather pleasant. It's not everyday where you could mess around and be you yourself (in my case which is being very direct when holding a conversation *WARNING-may cause tears and drama if you don't get what I'm trying to say*)

Both the superheroes were friends of mine (bangga sia) but my niece didn't know that. So when we sat down for a meal after taking pictures with them, she blurted out : "I like spiderman. Which one do you like? Batman or Spiderman?" I swear I almost choked on a piece of Rojak. (worst way to die) Not that I dislike them but where is Ironman when you need him? One does not simply explain about choice of super heroes and friends with a 5 year old. (no really!) In the end I redirected her interest with another question instead of answering her. (Couldn't bring myself to break the news to her about my Marvel crush on Ironman)
Batman was nice enough to offer my niece a chance to fly which she refused stating about the fear of being chucked into the lake. I reassured her if she was chucked into the lake, I'd personally throw batman into the lake as well. (what are friends for? ;) ) I brought my niece around to enjoy the event as the superheroes and ex-seniors worked to entertain children and adults alike. After my niece finished her ice cream potong which one of my ex-seniors kindly bought for her (thank you), we went over to bid them (my friends) goodbye before the 5 year old starts chanting the I-wanna-go-home mantra.
Before setting off to send the disappointed little girl home (since there wasn't going to be fireworks in respect of the recent tragedy) , Batman invited me over for second round at his place. Well that came from no where ._. (BUT HELL YEAH!) I didn't accept the invite straight away since I didn't know whether I was allowed to be out this late (for goodness sake girl you're 18 years old) In the end I had to put the invite on hold till I get the thumbs up from my sis which was really very much unlikely in my opinion due to the bad feng shui thingy for going out this year (but it's 2015 soon. very very soon.) , I was actually very prepared to stay at home for the marvel-thon on fox movies but who knew she gave the thumbs up and even offered to drop me off back at the lakeside.
By the time I reached , The superheroes were just relieved from their duties for the night and were having dinner together. We helped clearing the venue for a bit before leaving for batman's place.

I've never countdown to new year before since it was just .... ._. (okay fine I never had the chance) But it was a simple yet pleasant way to spend the last few hours of 2014... If you considered playing cards and drinking pleasant. (It definitely was) And no, drinking doesn't necessarily mean alcohol. See! There's coke as well! ( lol to whom it may concern, I reassure you we drink responsibly. No minors involved. Adults were informed. Chocolates were eaten. Chickens were roasted.) I didn't drink much, planned not to drink at all but accidentally took some (courtesy to someone -_-) so ... let's not waste stuff. But the whiskey was pretty good, I'd take whiskey over wine any day.The difference between 40% and 48% of alcohol was immense. (took a teeny-tiny sip from someone,no harm done :P)

Oh yeah, we played Chor Dai Di (card game). Felt like Chinese New Year but in this case, I won the first round of 2014 (YESH!). We went on playing till 2015 with a few occasional toast of whiskey and coca-cola.

We toasted to year 2015 as our phone rang with new year notifications that kept coming in. So this was what it meant.. that people who had nothing to do would be sending all sorts of greetings with elaborate phrases. (HAHAHA I HAVE A LIFE! IN YOUR FACE! lol pardon the excitement)
So for year 2015.. the first people who I saw were my fellow scout leaders which in this case were super heroes. I spent my new year with super heroes =] I also won the first match of chor dai di for the year 2015. (ngeyehehehehe) We played fireworks a while after my niece called me asking
:"YI YI is spiderman and batman walking you home?" (I put her on speaker and let the superheroes answer themselves. hahahhahaha x) )
We spent the first moments of 2015 stating all the first things that we're doing. Like .. first chicken of the year.. first drink of the year.. first facebook notification of the year...pirate kings game invite -_- (I got something else which was WAY more hilarious, so much so I didn't know how to react to it)

| those anti-climatic fireworks that go.. EEEEEWWW-PAK! habis cerita |
It was no doubt a pleasant end and a memorable beginning of a new year for me. I came upon this question on twitter which says :
"What would you change if you could go back in time?"
Nothing
If I did I wouldn't have spent the new year with superheroes now would I? It's not the mask but the person inside that makes them super heroes.
To my dear friends/superheroes/scouts, Happy new year! :)
