On New Year’s eve, my “plan” was just to finish work, go home and be a couch potato (there were a few movies on and I wanted to watch them – in bed!) I didn’t mind it at all because I’ve been working for a long stretch and I’d love some time to wind down.

Group picture
Our only “group picture” – using Sam’s legs as pillows, one for each side.

Well, I ended up at Alex+Samantha’s place for dinner (chi chan! :P ) and watching those movies on their big TV! Even when it was time for fireworks, I stayed in their place while they went to town (with my camera *hehe*).

Shadows
Taken by Alex – flighty people.
:P

Some photos of the fireworks (I think it lasted about 10 minutes?) after the cut.

I took the next few photos using my compact (fireworks mode) – pretty good! I could see the fireworks clearly from their balcony. No crowds, no fuss, no loud noise.
:mmm:

I malas to crop and all that.

I think these were “lower” ones, I had to zoom in a bit to capture them.

Also “lower” ones.

They looked really pretty in real life – photos do no justice.

I think this is one of the best/nice looking ones – I used this as my “Happy New Year” photo. It wasn’t a ripped off photo.
:P

I really like fireworks!
