Wat Suthat

Also temple with giant swing outside. According to our daily tour guide (Jiawen on duty today), this Giant Swing was an actual working swing until it caused too many fatalities. ?!??!?!?!?!?! Obviously haha

With no plans in mind we decided to head to MBK and catch a movie:

Countdown party starting:

On our way to Central World

Being vertically challenged, this was my view:

To summarise: Too many people we tried going towards stage but China people pushing we got dulan so Chang beer booth it is.

Jiawen got drunk and I had to apologise to various angmohs for her.

Sparklers!

Excited kid ^

Long walk back to the hotel, but we did stop at a roadside stall for wanton noodles at 3am in the morning ❤

In conclusion: HAPPY NEW YEAR! There are just so many thoughts for the new year. I’ve stopped making new year resolutions (they never work out), and I’m getting more confused about what the future holds/what kind of future I’m pursuing, but I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be a good year. And why shouldn’t it be? I have friends who love me, and whom I love. I have my family, who annoys me every single day, but gives me a home to run back to. I have my passion for writing, for books, and for music. (And also coffee.) I am thankful for my emotions, because, strong as they are, and as much as they land me in difficult situations, they allow to to empathise, to sympathise, to feel, to relate, and to love. I have dreams, and somehow, I know, that will take me further than I expect it to.

Thank you, 2014. And hello, 2015 (:
