This year's celebration was a bit different from the rest of the years. Well, for starters, I was outside, instead of inside hiding from the noise of the firecrackers. My brother-in-laws were outside drinking and setting off firecrackers and 2 fountains for the baby so we decided to stay outside as well. We were outside as we watched the fireworks come 12 midnight and then it was their moment as they set off the numerous firecrackers by the gate. Fingers were still complete after that...hehehe...of course, we were waving at the baby as he enjoyed the view with my sister, Sheila at the balcony. I guess they couldn't resist so they went downstairs with us.
As usual, I ate something sweet. Instead of the fruit salad, I enjoyed the "bico" (its sticky rice with coconut milk and its soo good) and my soda drink on one hand. We usually have to eat something sweet so the new year will be equally sweet, and sticky? So that family members will always stick to each other. Then I followed that with grapes. It's round and means money. Before 12mn, I had a haircut, which according to my mom means something new. Leaving behind the old and starting with something new. I'd say this was something new because I don't remember getting a haircut everytime there was the New Year coming. But I didn't mind since I was long overdue for a haircut. My hair's shorter now and it feels strange since I've been sporting long hair for quite awhile now.
Then after watching a bit of TV, we went to bed. I was trying to fall asleep when the baby woke up. I think he had a nightmare what with the noise. I don't blame him. Even the dog, Sox, was dog gone crazy with all the noise. He didn't know where to go. He was shaking with fright. So we decided to let him stay in the bathroom where the noise wasn't that heard so much. He only came out when it was around 1 am.
So, there I was, about to fall asleep when the baby woke up crying. He wouldn't settle even though my sister was cuddling him or we were giving him toys.
Finally, my mom thought that he was scared because of the firecrackers so she told my sister to bring her to the balcony and show him that there weren't firecrackers anymore and that everyone was asleep, including babies like him. I think that reassured him and after that, she turned on the TV and they watched a music video channel to lull him to sleep.
The rest of us, were so sleepy so we just let them watch tv. I don't remember when she turned off the TV since I was asleep myself...hehehe..it was a long day.
Well, it was fun watching him play games by himself and throwing stuff...nothing was broken, luckily.
And now, I'm back home, enoying the first day by myself.
Happy New Year everyone!!!
