Hi5's all round...why not?

2/1/2011

The 31st of December, commonly referred to as New Years Eve, is one of the most looked forward to days of the calender. That day is pregnant with the anticipation of a new year, a better year, a brighter year and a host of good tidings. I spent the 31st of December 2010 at a wedding; speaking of which...congratulations to Peter and Jane - an eternity of bliss and happiness be heading your way. Away from all the glamour that weddings present and the wedding juice all mothers imbibe before they show up, a wedding of a common friend from Kitas brings all characters that make up Kitas 00208, The Series, together.

More so, when the wedding spills over to an evening party which will in turn double up as the New Year's party and then you see that Kitas is not just a place, its a way of life! Midnight comes and is marked with the attendant pomp and splendour deserving of such an occasion. That marks the beginning of a 'party till we drop fiesta' fuelled by the over zealous dj and his 'Shouter' (this is the name I have appointed to the guy who stands next to the dj and yells random things into the microphone in an attempt to hype the crowd).

Come 7 am as we drive into home after a night well spent crossing over into a new decade. How many would have loved to see this morning but for one reason or the other could not; we never forget to give thanks for such mercies and indulgences.

The time to get back to the Northern Hemisphere is fast approaching; however, before leaving, a mention must be made of all those who made this holiday as massive as it was: Dq and her attendant posse - y'all take rocking to a different level. Pilli, Liz, Nduku, Eric, Muriuki, Dmuitta, Di - la familia extend! Mko juu tu sana. Lillian, way too long it had been...lets fix that. Bubbles, sigh! Need I say more? Mutheu, unofficial Nairobi tour guide, how awesomely awesome are you? Brilliant! Sheri and the crew of Kabasiran, next time we make it bigger. Kitas crew hi5's all round. To all who might have been missed in this, you are never forgotten in the heart - where it matters most. To Nairobi in general, the love I have for you is unbelievable! Stay good, till next time.

I'm out.
