Happy new year

When it comes to talk about celebrating the coming of 2008, I experienced a different celebration with my friends!! It's the first time that I really felt the atmosphere of greeting coming new year! Because we decided to see 101 fireworks which was last time ......

Five friends and I finished a whole day course at 3:00p.m. , then left for MRT Xinpu station to buy our refreshment and un...a little wine for long night! When everything was ready and we were about to go to our destination-101, suddenly~ one of my friend suggested that we could go to The Grand Hotel!? It was said that outdoor of The Grand Hotel could see the whole fireworks of 101 and other places ' . On the other hand, we exactly didn't want to stand at crowd of people - it seemed to exceed 60 thousand people!! So~we changed our destination and expected having a excellent celebration.

As soon as we arrived the Jiantan station, we first went to the Shilin night market to buy snacks, then walked to The Grand Hotel. We choosed a place with good view, and then the ground was covered by newspaper. We sited and began playing card at 9:30p.m.~~ We still had a lot of time to play, eat and drink( It sounds there were a group of pigs?:P)

Time passed with our laugh and chatting. It was time to clean our cards and garbage - it's show time!! At about 11:50, we found there were plenty of people around us ! Even the slope of parking lot were crowded with people! Then everyone was nervous and excited to count backwards :5 4 3 2 1 Happy New Year!!!!!!! At that moment the most brilliant show began-fireworks of 101!! Oh~~that was so wonderful! The beauty and shock was beyond words!

Although it continued only short 188 seconds, it was splendid enough to stay in mind. Then after the fireworks finished, we went to one of our friend's home to take brake. Arriving her home at 3:00a.m., 4 people tired and slept, leaving me and the other friend awaken. So~~we chatted and lay on her bed until 5:00a.m. Call them to wake up and went to the new year's day flag-raising ceremony at Office of the President.

When I got home at 9:20a.m. , I was finally out of energy, sleeping on my bed at once= ˇ =

Oh~~~that is a mysterious day -a beginning of 2008! Happy New Year !!!!!
