It's a New Year

It's been a few weeks since I posted, I'm mostly recovered from New Year's Eve. Like to wish everybody a Happy New Year. With the New Year will hopefully bring new oppertunities. I've been in work mode for too long, almost forgetting about weddings. But as I try to build to this business, I'm letting people know, and I probably do have some lined up, gotta do a lot more networking, find more clients. I've registered a website, and will go live soon. My sister told me she'd build one for me, since my web building is not my forté, in case you're wondering it's gonna be www.vincentwongphotography.com. Nothing there right now, I can't even figure out the FTP thing, and I've been using FTP for years. But when it does go live, this is where I'll post it first. So keep checking.

So how did you spend your New Year's? I didn't have any hard plans until maybe a week before. I got invited to house parties and stuff, but really didn't want to spend it that way. I wanted to go out and mingle. Well I started the night by going by Gord's place to pick him and Serena up, they made a fancy dinner, and they had to wrap it up, and bring it over to my friend Flutur's boyfriend's place, so after picking them up, went back to my house, got changed, and dropped off the car (you gotta be responsible!) and transited down town, he lives in the student ghetto, and they ended up having quite a few people over. We had dinner, had some drinks, and headed out to Stone's Place, a Rolling Stones inspired bar, reminded me of this club I used to go to but closed down called Vox Lounge. Nicely decorated with 60's furniture.

Ran into my scooter friend John who I hadn't seen since the summer, so that was nice. Had a few drinks, took some pics, but a few hours later, we were getting paged to go to Embassy Lounge where we were suppose to meet up with some more people. It was still early which had us wondering why was there a lineup for the coat check, so Serena and I are in line, and this guy comes up to us and says I'm gonna cut, I told that's fine, but go behind me, some more words were exchanged, and he started to push Serena around, I thought it was joke at first and didn't do anything, but then I realized how hard he was pushing, so I had to step in. The guy was not tall, but built, and Serena is not a big girl at all, I grabbed his arm, and told him to stop it and told him it was not cool what he was doing, he puffed his chest at me, but I just stared him down, and he ran to back of the line. We got our stuff, and took a cab to Embassy where we met up with Grahame and Tiffany.

Grahame was suppose to be djing at 1, but he ended up playing early, so we missed his set. After this, things got blurry, had a few more drinks here, this was also when the alchohol kicked in thanks to doing DR.Pepper shots, double fisting on the beers (again).

Overall with just one incident, we had a good night. Didn't spend a lot of money which is always a good thing. Saw a few friends, and got to dance to music that I like.
