The proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New Year's Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you're standing next too. Here's cheers to one-helluva-night!

Cracking Barrage
Head to the Helix Bridge, the Marina Bay waterfront or the Youth Olympic Park to view the spectacular fireworks and the Singapore Countdown. Fireworks buffs will enjoy rays of bright lights which will converge from opposite ends of Marina Bay to form a distinct canopy of light shining over the entire Bay. At the stroke of midnight, a breathtaking 8 minute display of fireworks and music will bring the evening to a climax. There will also be a host of free music performances and arts activities.
When: Fri 31 Dec, 2010, 5pm-1am.
Where: Marina Bay Area, see marinabaycountdown.sg. Free.
