Welcoming Year 2017


Book an Executive Suite at Furama City Centre on 31st Dec 2016 – 1st Jan 2017 to welcome Year 2017. I reserved the room using Hotels.com as I wanted to utilise the free 1 night rewards of S$125.26 (accumulated from Taiwan trip) and after deduction it costs S$216.34.

We check in at 2pm and was assigned to 5thfloor. I requested for higher floor to watch the fireworks, but the hotel staffs assure me that 5thfloor has a better view. No regrets, indeed it has a better view.

Small aunt family came at 3pm and we start exploring the area together. The hotel is very near to Chinatown Point and thanks to the near location we were able to make a few trips down to get last minutes stuffs. Initially we wanted to make it a simple affairs, therefore we only prepared snacks to munch while watching the fireworks and Angela DIY the signage. The longer we stay in the big room, we realised the room is so dull and decided to get balloons to decorate, so we went to Chinatown Point NTUC to grab some. After getting the balloons we went back to the room, Angela suddenly mention why not we pop non-alcohol sparkling juice after the fireworks and toast together, it will be fun. Not saying anything further, we went down to NTUC again to get 2 bottles. While setting up the snacks, Angela and Florence double confirm we really need a cake. So we went to Chinatown Point again to buy a cake. We went to and from a few times, though it was tiring but the 4 of us (Angela, Florence, my brother and me) had so much fun and laughter during the process.

While waiting for the fireworks, the adults play blackjack while the youngster set up everything and take photos. 11.58pm, everyone gather at the windows, waiting for the fireworks to start. 12am sharp the fireworks beautifully decorate the dark sky. It’s my grandma first time watching the fireworks and she was so amazed by it.
After the fireworks we cut the cake, pop the non-alcohol sparkling juice and munch all the snacks. By the time we finish everything, it was already 1am. The youngster does not want to end the great feeling and decided to play all night instead of sleeping. We played games, chit chat, eating the leftover. We surrender at 4.30am and decided to sleep till 7am to get McDonalds as breakfast.

Another chapter added to our family story and memory.
