Goodbye 2007, Welcome 2008

Happy New Year.

Went to Adrian's company for the countdown party with our little monster in toll. Guess she was pretty tired and slept just when the party was starting at around 9.30pm.

Bryan Wong was the host for the night. He really is a funny guy. They had a Dreams come True segment where one person from the audience was called onto stage and asked to tell the rest their dream and the amount they think would be enough to fulfil this dreams of theirs. The first lady was the luckiest. She wanted $100, 000. Thus she was asked by their company's CEO, Mr Sim to choose a number from 1 to 48 which was on the board on the stage. She chose number 23 and the amount was $120, 000. As the rules was set that if the number reflected was higher or equal to the amount choosen by the participant, he or she would be able to go home with the amount that she had indicated at the very beginning. So she walked home with an amount of $100, 000. And from the audience, if they had indicated that amount that was reflected behind the number from the board (in this case $120, 000) from their coloured cards, they would be able to get the amount that the contestant had won. So 5 persons walked home with $20,000 each. Lucky people.

If the amount indicated behind the number is smaller that what the contestant had asked for, he or she would walk away with a goodie bag. The audience whose card also indicated the amount behind the number would also walk away with a goodie bag as well. Just so happened that 2nd contestant did not walk away with any cash but with a goodie bag. The amount behind the number was $8,000. As I had indicated that I want only $8,000 on my coloured card, we walked away with a goodie bag as well.

Was so tired from all the laughing and my back was aching a lot as I was carrying a sleeping Sabrina. Adrian sent us back first and went back to his office again as their CEO still had a long lecture for them. By the time everything ended , it was almost 4.30am. He reached home around 5am. Anyway, we were all so tired that we woke up only around 10plus this morning.

Went off to Ikea at Tampines and then to Giant where we saw Sandra and Kheng Soon doing some grocery shopping as well. Left for dinner around 5plus and reached home around 7plus. Died tired.
