Happy new year! Great 2006 have gone and another great one have begun. My feeling is so fresh now. How was your new year's eve and the first day of 2007?
My new year's eve, yesterday was,,,,,,

Dec 31 : O misoka (new year's eve)
I got up at 8:30 and called my family. After while I started talking with my mother, Kou Haku Uta Gassen was over and she told the winner to me. It was Shiro-gumi, the White team. But I didn't feel anything because I couldn't enjoy it. She also told me the host and the hostess. It were Nakama Miyuki and Nakai ~ (Oh men!! I forget his name. But he is a member of the famous group, SMAP). Anyway!!! At 10 o'clock am, 2007 have come to Japan. It was so strange, you know.
I was talking for 2 hours. After calling, I started helping the kitchen. Andrew came 2 hours earlier than always because we were serving special big dinner. I helped to make special desserts. But I was really sleepy then 'cause I slept late the last night and got up early for the phone calls. So I took a nap for 2 or 3 hours and it was great for me.
When I went down to the kitchen after napping, first serving has just started. It was the busiest kitchen EVER BEFORE. Mackenzie's parents (Sue's friends), Andrew's wife, and Nicola also helped. Alejandro was doing Salads and helping Andrew as doing washing the dirty cooking tools. I was also doing dishes as doing desserts for 41 guests.
Everyone was busy. But when Alejandro and I was cleaning the kitchen (after crazy), other people were enjoying Karaoke with some guests. Well,,,that was ok.
At 11:30 I went to my room to take a quick shower and to get dress. I dressed with my new black dress which Sue gave me as a present before. I came down to the dining room at 12:58 and watched the fireworks with everyone. The fireworks was beautiful but it was rainy then. Jan was taking care of them but he said it was the worst.
So,2007!! We were having nice time until 2 o'clock. Singing, dancing, drinking, talking, and taking the pictures... I was drinking orange juice, by the way, hahaha. Oh! And I was dancing(!!) with somebody, hahaha. Actually I was dancing with some guests who were came from London, England. They were completely drunk. But they could remember my name. By the way I do remember their names too. Nick, Richard, and Peter. In fact I CAN'T DANCE AT ALL. But they didn't care. I think it was because they were really drunk. Anyway it was fun actually! Nick, he is 17 and we were talking until after the party was over.
During the party, I was missing my family and Japan so much. But Sue, her sister Debby, Alejandro were concerning me. I was so glad. Actually Alejandro always makes me laugh. So,,, it was good new year's eve! Happy new year (again,haha) !!
