30/12/2010 (Fri): We had specially bought the Countdown tickets at our Hwi Yoh CC two weeks ago. The tickets only cost us $4 ($2 per person) provided with free bus to and fro to the Countdown party location at Buangkok, goodies bags for us. I think the free transport is a very good idea. Last year at the Countdown party at Cheng San CC, mum and i were almost stranded in Ang Mo Kio and when we managed to take a bus, it was madly packed.
Luckily we did not take the bus to the area as the getai countdown only started at 930pm. We are told to take our free bus at 8-8.30 pm - if we do take the bus, it will a bit rush for us (and we know the party will not be that early) so we decided to take the public transport to the area. We took bus 88 at around 850 pm. The area is only 1 bus stop away so we arrived at 9 pm. Took our goodies bags that consist of a party pack and 1 pack of mini buns. We also got free popcorn - long time never eaten any popcorn, tasted very yummy.
There are plenty of empty chairs and full tentage coverage. We had chosen our seats quite near to the front area.
I quite enjoy today Getai Countdown party. Singers wise are only so-so. But the atmosphere were brought to a high level when the time for 2011 arrived. I had taken video of this great moment. Our Jalan Kayu MP, Mr Wee Siew Kim was also present in the Countdown party.
Today party ended at 1210pm. We then took the free bus home. Reached home at 1245am. I liked the free bus provided. Will go again next year :)
Although there is no firework like marina, no TCS artists like vivo, no taiwan singer like Boon Lay Countdown party, we here in heartland Buangkok are blessed with good entertainment, full tentage, lot of chairs, a full high for the Countdown, party pack, goodies bag and buses to take us home. I feel blessed.
Below is the Countdown into Year 2011.
