Here Comes 2010...

" Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. " - Hal Borland

" Your general lack of hygiene or the fact that you steal my clothes? " - Dr. Watson, Sherlock Holmes

How did you celebrate the New Year's day? Did you go for any countdown celebration, be it in a private party or a public gathering? Realizing how time actually progressed, it marked the end of the decade, which means there will no longer be any two thousand with a single digit ending, and most certainly the year 2009.

It was planned within a day. I was free, and my friends had no plans either. So, we decided that it would be nice to get together for a cozy dinner. We had Korean barbeque in Beewon Restaurant, Korean Village. The food was nice, and so was the price. After dinner, we headed to UKRC to play basketball- yup, near midnight. And continued to play 'Big 2'- a little early for CNY may be. There was another private function held in UKRC and at the stroke of midnight, we counted-down together and blasted the poppers! From where i stood, i could see the fireworks display as far as to KLCC.

On the day before, it was another sudden arrangement to watch Sherlock Holmes. It was an entertaining watch. What's nice in the movie is the relationship shared between Holmes and Dr Watson. Dr Watson appears to be a doctor who is clean and proper. Holmes, on the contrary, appears reserved and messy. Along with witty lines and humorous jokes, i couldn't concentrate on some parts of the show due to my laughing. Apart from that, Holmes' deductive approach to solving mystery somehow tickles the heart and makes you go 'wow'. The movie was approximately two hours long, but it sure didn't feel like it then.

Sherlock Holmes!

Excellent acting...

As for the storyline, it kept me guessing until the last bit. Thankfully, they revealed and answered all possible questions. It seemed like 'magic' was in this show for real. Conspiracies. Adventure. Sufficient action scenes like sword swaying and gun shooting to keep you entertained. Excellent casting- Robert Downey Jr fits into Holmes' shoe just fantastically and Jude Law as Dr Watson. Credits to other cast members too!

Weeks before, we organized a picnic to the Titiwangsa Lake. It was a nice outing as it was the time we could catch-up on each others' lives after separating into our own paths. We'll keep in touch!

A group shot after picnic. We played Ultimate and Bluff after that too, thanks to J for bringing.

Any new year resolutions? How many have you crossed out on last year's list? While we enjoy the new year, let us all reflect on what we had done over the year, the good deeds and the achievements. As for the bad, we should forgive but not forget so that we will never repeat the same mistake this year.

wc09 bids farewell and wc10 wishes you Happy New Year!
