Welcome 2007!

Happy New Year! Welcome 2007! Goodbye 2006!

I spent New Year's Eve at East Coast Park. We pitched a tent (see below) and watched the fireworks (over Esplanade) from outside our tent. It was a good thing that it didn't rain, even though this is the monsoon season. Besides the fireworks, the ships anchored off East Coast Park also did their own mini "fireworks", firing off red "shooting stars". We didn't hear them sound their ships' fog horns, though. Maybe we were too far? Maybe the crowd around at East Coast Park was too noisy and drowned the horns out?


Woke up this morning expecting to see the sunrise. What we saw were clouds obscuring the sunrise... by the time we caught a glimpse of the sun, it was already halfway up the sky. Oh well, at least it didn't rain.


I went to fish at the jetty near Amber Beacon (we had pitched the tent near the jetty) after that, the catch report is here.

Brunch was eaten at the new Burger King near Long Beach Seafood Restaurant. A competitor for MacDonald's! But the new BK is still quite "raw", it probably needs some time to run in and for the staff to be trained properly.

We got home to find one of our goldfish in dire straits. We quickly took measures to revive it, hopefully it survives the ordeal.
