How We Spent our Silvester aka New Year´s Eve!

We started having a Berliner session (that´s German intepretation of Doughnuts) at 3pm followed by Black Jack session! Both hubby and I wrapped up countless, small gift along with Mama for the prize win. There is a total of more than 35 prizes but as how it is (always), gambling is not my thing. I won a Gurken (yeap, only 1 and not a bottle!), a cube of chocolate, a packet of biscuit, a packet of orange juice and Haribo. It was fun though and had everyone laughing in stitches! I fixed dinner after our gambling session and we had them over TV in our living room. Here´s what we feasted on!

LOTS of Nachos and Barbecue Pork Ribs!

With some sides of Potatoes, Zucchini and Tomatoes.

We were flipping the channels front and back for some interesting programs but sad to say, nothing memorable UNTIL we chance upon LIVE Performances from Silvester Party all the way from Brandenburger Tor in Berlin and so we PUMPED UP the VOLUME TO THE MAX and it was AWESOME! Lots of Party Music aka Sclagermusik which a lot of yuppies here frown upon (coz some of its beat reminiscene ones to the days of Modern Talking era and easy lyrics to sing too after all those beers!) but heyyyy ... ITS PARTY TIME! Here´s one of my favourite! Haha!

Ich lieg gern im Gras, und schau zum Himmel rauf!

Schau die ganzen Wolken nicht lustig aus?

Und fliegt en Flieger vorbei, dann wink ich zu ihm rauf.

"Hallo Flieger!"

Und bist du auch noch dabei, dann bin ich super drauf!

Refrain:
Und Ich flieg, flieg, flieg wie ein Flieger,

Bin so stark, stark, stark wie ein Tiger

Und so groß, groß, groß wie ne Giraffe

So hoch oh, oh, oh!

Und Ich spring, spring, spring immer wieder

Und Ich schwimm, schwimm, schwimm zu Dir rüber

Und Ich nehm, nehm, nehm Dich bei der Hand,

Weil Ich Dich mag

Und Ich sag

Heut ist so ein schöner Tag la-la-la-la-la

Heute st so ein schöner Tag la-la-la-la-la

Heut ist so ein schöner Tag la-la-la-la-la

The countdown was GREAT! Ahaus came to LIVE when midnight struck 12 with more than 10 household celebrating them with personal fireworks! I caught everything on video but unfortunately, it refuse to play when I download them! Arg! The fireworks were lovelyyyyy, lovellyyyyy and oh, sooo beautiful against the snow white backdrop which had earlier fell for hours and hours. We PUMPED the music up further and so did many homes last night :-) And danced silly on our mini trampoline! Haha! And finally, slumped ourselve to bed coz cannot take no moreeee. We slept like a log. As for today, e went down early this morning to go wish Mama and Papa Gutes Neues Jahr AND ... received nuggety golden surprise :-) Vielen Dank Mama und Papa!
