Day 365

I can't believe that this is the last day of the year. 

Day 365. 

This year has been crazy, stressful, fun, interesting, adventurous, and dramatic. I can't believe that we're entering into the new year soon. 

For starters, I'm done with uni! Done with studying! Until maybe some time in the future where I might need to continue studying again to be in the current

This is us. We wanted to be on this bridge to watch the fireworks. 

We've learned from last year to not be in the CBD to welcome the new year. So I thought, why don't we just watch it from the bridge in front of our place. 

Since we were early we decided to walk nearer towards Crown to see if there's a better view. As we were walking, we noticed people with tents, picnic mats, blankets, or some sat on the wooden walkway. 

As we were nearing Crown, there was just too many people and we hate crowded places. So we decided to turn back to where we came from. Found a spot to seat and decided to set up the GoPro. As we were setting up, there were more and more people coming which was fine because we were at the edge of the wooden walkway anyway. Nobody would be in the way of our view 

If people pushed us, we would've fallen into the river

before we know it, it was countdown and we had to quickly reposition the camera again. Then the fireworks began!!

the funniest part was that the bar opposite from where we were did a countdown. so the people over here followed suit. but when i looked at my phone, it just turned 11.59 pm. someone's watch or phone must be really lousy. 

in the end, we had 2 countdowns

This view was way better with lesser crowd. 

Last year we couldn't even see all of the fireworks cuz we were in the CBD itself. We were under all the buildings where the fireworks came from. And don't ask me about the way home. 

We barely walked because we were pushed along by people making their way to wherever else they wanted to be. 

But this time, nope. None of that. 

We enjoyed it more than last year. It was a good good call

But yet I do miss going for watch night service. I do miss welcoming the new year with close friends and family. These 2 years we celebrated on our own and with strangers. Definitely something we have to get used to until we find good friends of our own here
