Happy New Year 2010!

We did something slightly different this New Year's Eve - we booked a room with a harbour view at Swissotel The Stamford so that we could catch the fireworks display from our room! So it was a 1 day 1 night 'stay-cation' for our family :)

On the day itself, we checked into our room some time in the afternoon, then brought Kendrick for some kite flying at the Singapore Flyer area. After that, we all took a nap before having a late dinner and settling back into the hotel room preparing for the countdown. My parents came down to join us for a while too. With the late afternoon nap, Kendrick was able to sustain all the way till 12.30am eventually! Yup, he managed to catch the fireworks and even remembered them the next morning when he woke up!

Well, Happy New Year 2010 and may it be a blessed and smooth year ahead....

We took this before the fireworks started as we knew Kendrick would be too distracted to take a shot when the fireworks started. So here's the view from our balcony
One of the nicer fireworks shot!
