Happy New Year!
Gelukkig nieuw jaar!

Ok, I admit. This post is not about the food. But I couldn't resist it anyway, lol.
I still HAVE to describe my New Year's Eve. It's a must.

On New Year's Eve, it was VERY cold -5° C.
But, when I have bought my little black dress, I KNEW I was going to wear it on New Year's Eve, lol.
And I looked good, no false modesty.
You can all ask my sister, my Mum and my friends, lol. A bit too much black, though.

I've asked a friend if there were any parties where I can dance and sing and then at midnight go around and congratulate New Year to full strangers, kissing and laughing and having fun.
And there was one!
There was a Novi val (new wave) party in Zagreb, in “Tvornica” hall/stage.
In the mean time, my other friend has decided to join us, and brought along a friend, too.
The more, the merrier, lol!
Well, I am glad to inform you that I was late. 10 minutes, and ABSOLUTELY not my fault.
The bus chauffeur was sooooo slow. There was NO ONE on the street, and he was still driving like an old grandma (well, like me, actually).
My friend picked me up from the station and by tram we went to Tvornica, where luckily, the other friend was already queuing to enter.
And then we all entered.

What can I say?
That was the best ending of this year!
From the moment we entered the hall (around 22.45h), I haven't stopped dancing.
And have I mentioned that I was wearing my comfy high hills, lol? I danced until 04.15h!
And I sang! Hey, I sang!!
The music was all from the 70's/80s/90's, the times when the radio was always on, when watching TV was a big thing and there were no video clips (well, not as they're today with half naked women shaking their tush right above the camera).
Hey, I never knew I know and still remember the lyrics I heard as 6 year old (Pusti pusti modu – Colic), or music I listened as a teenager. Or that I have even collected, memorised so many ex-Yu songs.
It was a pleasant surprise.
At midnight I've done just what I wanted: I hugged and kissed and wished a happy new year.
And then in the end of the year, I danced with a very good dancer! There was a group of 5 guys, and one of them was trying to get girls to do some style dancing with him. But the girls were not interested at all.
Well, guess who likes style dancing? :D
So, I asked for dance, and we did. No, it didn't go easy, as I haven't done it for ages. But in the end, it smoothed.

And the last song before fajrunt?
“Kad Hodas” by Bajaga, but this was Riblja Corba version (I guess, Bajaga was still with them)
Oh, boy...
Could it be better New Year Eve?
I was with my friends, listening to the music I grew up with, giving it all out, singing with all my might, shouting and dancing and laughing.

And the end of a great evening?
Well, I chatted with great people, wished them happy New Year, one bouncer made me a very happy girl, by simply being himself. :D
And when I came out, it was snowing.
A new beginning.

My dear friends, I wish you a happy and prosperous Year 2009!
