last hours of '06, first hours of '07

spent my new year eve and new year day over at Louisa's and Eresh's place in Chafford Hundred, Kent... Had a marvellous time...
well, here i am.. waiting for my train (c2c) to Chafford Hundred from Limehouse station...Once i got there.. i was amazed at Eresh's collection of 'poison', which i thought it will probably be Janie's heaven.. hahahaha.. they can be drinking buddies i thought... we started with some Bacardi then Sambuca, which for me, who is a novel drinker, is absolutely shite at it... it has a strong taste of liquer, which i thought tasted like cockroaches...
Next up, we had white wine, from this giant blue bottle.. it was deadly.. by then, i was almost bongos... hahahaha... we had it with one of my favourite english food... 'crispy duck' from a chinese takeaway.. yes, i said it is 'english food' because, i can't find it in proper chinese countries... they simply do not exist.. just like singapore noodles, they exist everywhere, except the country of SINGAPORE.. hahahah then, as i was going trigger happy with my tipsy stage... i managed to capture a lurvely picture of the happie couple.. awwww.. well, at that moment, Eresh was busy shredding the duck... oh.. the thought of crispy duck made me crave for some now.. yums.. and about seconds before midnight... we hurried to the bedroom upstairs, facing the roofs of many other houses, to enjoy the view of some home-safe fireworks... i may not be able to capture the beauty of the fireworks, but i quite like the result of my slow-shutter-almost-drunken-shape camera skills... well, i like it.. so i would like to keep it this way *blech* at this point... i wish my loved ones were around me... missing the hugs to invite the new year... although i wasn't exactly sure the significance of giving a hug to invite the new year... but basically i like hugs anyway....
eresh and i stayed up till 5am.. while the sleeping beauty louisa hit the sheets at about 1 ish i think.. (well done her..)
the following morning, i was lucky to avoid a hangover... but i still have a super-thirsty taste in my mouth... i couldn't resist taking a picture of those legs... aren't they to die for????
As Eresh was busy gourmet-ing his chicken lasagne, louisa brought me around her garden for a short tour... it was a new garden which they made months ago... awwww and they even have a little Bird Cafe, for the tired birdies to stop by for a cuppa... heeheee.. i wonder if those birdies are toilet-trained...
and a view in their garage... well.. look more like a gym to me... and after lunch.. it was off back to london for me... i was so tired that day... *yawn yawn* and not to forget.. i was so cold...
