HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!

I believe I have received the biggest present for this year i.e. my life. I nearly got killed by the Avalanche raft at work today. Can you imagine? I know it sounds ridiculous. Believe me, it's scary if you experienced it like I did just now.

I was on duty at the bottom of the tower and the raft machine was not functioning, so I called my supervisor, David to help and we thought we fix it as it went okay after that. Then, all of a sudden we heard the crowd on top of the tower were shouting very loudly, I looked up and all I could see is a flying raft coming towards me and my supervisor's direction and I quickly ran. I didn't even have enough time to think and asked him to run together. He was sitting down there without realizing what was going on and the raft landed right in front of him. Swt.

He stunt for a few seconds and he was like saying Oh My God. We simply cannot believe this could happened!I'm glad both of us are all right and I can still go home see my mama and papa.

So here I am, sitting in Camelia's room using her laptop. Everybody is dressing up to hang out with the Brazilian guys staying nearby. Many people asked me out but I simply prefer to stay in because the only place I would like to go during New Year eve is the New York Times Square. Well guess what, I did witness the countdown for 2009 at Times Square! Through the television was touching enough with all my Brazilians buddies, hugging each other and watching them crying. I can tell they are missing home very much, but not me because I know I'm going home soon. I would love to stay longer if I can but hey, wake up. I need to wake up from my dream soon.

That's about my story from new year's eve to new year. I know I would never gonna forget about this first new year eve in America. I hope everybody has a memorable new year eve too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! Have a great year ahead! :)
