2008 NEW YEARS EVE







Its been 5 years since I have been in Adelaide on NYE, and as the day approached, and I had not made any plans … I am in holiday mode, so tend to take things one day at a time, without really planning anything more than a day ahead!!

Also, quite a few of my good friends are interstate … and one thing I don’t like about Adelaide, is how much big deal is made over NYE … you have to book well in advance, and usually so much bid deal ends in disappointment …. The other side is that if you don’t book anything, all clubs/venues are booked out, full of drunk jerks, and so this also ends in a hours wait to get into a venue, which are so busy that getting a drink is harder than getting into the club.

So … I decided to have few quiet drinks in the back yard … with my parents and a few close friends who also felt the same way about pre-organizing NYE.
The alcohol flowed freely, we all had a laugh, and it ended up being a good night .. .and we were partying to such an extent that we missing the New Year by five minutes … not to worry.

Now the only drawback of the whole night was the following morning … the price I paid in over-indulgance in years of accumulated duty-free alcohol … Remember kids: Beer, Rose, Gin, Cashasa, Cinzano, Jagermeister, Vodka, Chartreuse, Campari, Red Bull and Moet (in no particular order) just don’t mix … no matter what time of the year it is!!
