Picture this:
- A spectacular display of lasers, moving lights and pyrotechnics,
- Singapore's biggest beach dance party,
- a giant dance floor under the stars,
- a fantastic line-up of non-stop party music from Hip Hop, Retro, Trance and Chill Out music,
- Fire-eaters, dancers, stilt-walkers, temporary tattoos, palm readers,
- Singapore's and Indonesia's best M-TV DJs battling it out as they pumped up the volume from an 18 feet tall tower,
- Hottest Music jointly produced by M-TV and the Sentosa Trust,
- The Hottest Tourist Crowd from across the globe,
- and above all an explosive countdown to a brand new year!
That's how we celebrated this New Year's Eve, my Best New Year Bash so far by any means!! This was the first time in months that I got a chance to spend a chill night out with mah friends and let me tell you... we just rocked! With Just Exhilarating fun with non-stop events throughout the night and the foam dance that went on till dawn, we wished the night would never end. It felt awesome to celebrate the New Year by welcoming the New Year's rising sun... something I always wanted to do.
In retrospect, 2006 was a very eventful year.
June 6th saw the turning point when I bid good bye to a wonderful job at CG to set sail on a journey called an International MBA.
The first six months in Dubai had their own ups and downs. The white turbaned sheiks and their burkha clad 'wives' (no, the plural is not a mistake), the white sand flying all over the place and the air-con villas, the Dubai construction boom complete with the cranes and mushrooming malls. The never before seen cars and the affluent lifestyles. The way the Arabs do business and our futile attempts to try to understand why every damn Company name had to start with an "Al".
Net-Net it has been an awesome learning experience all the way with Singapore now turning out to be a totally different ballgame altogether.
Let’s wait and watch and see what the New Year has in store for me... Tell me how was your experince this new year's eve. Let thy comments flow in!
Ciao!!

Man... cant beat ur new year celebrations... sitting here I can tell it would hv been the best bash ever... the words said it all... International exposure enlightens a man beyond imaginations. Great things to learn. I spent the final days of last year at a beach place on Konkan belt... Mother Nature took our due care.. and said "Let years come and go past, I will always charm you with my unexplored wonders"
Hey Ppl, Thanks for the comments! Alok, there was certainly much more that I could possibly have written about the 'hot crowd' at Siloso. But then my internal sensor got their sirens blaring! :-) Kamlesh's blog account of his new year celebrations in Dubai are a much more liberally worded post though. Al Easwar... yeah I did have a chall time! Aniket, I wish I could be in a much more serene setting (like you) on the next New Year's eve.
