  1. The #NYTimes outgrew the building quickly. Apparently, the #printing presses in the basement were so affected by the #subway underneath, they had to put sand under them! They moved to a huge #building on 43rd & stayed there until 2007, expanding to 44th.
    Owner Ochs started the #NewYear's celebrations on Dec 31, 1904, & for years they just lit fireworks on the roof until the city outlawed it. The ball drop started that year, 1908.

  3. My New Year’s Eve – 2025

    Related Posts:

    31st December 2025. I was NOT oncall.

    It was a Wednesday and it was a normal working day. Hence, at 7:45am, I left to work as usual and was there by 8am. It was the New Year’s Eve. I thought that maybe, just maybe, there would be less patients in the clinic.

    The day started off smoothly. Surprisingly, there were many patients who came for their follow up followed by additional patients (the defaulters and walk-ins) but it was manageable. We went about our day, seeing each patient and when lunch time came, we went for our lunch break.

    At 2pm, we went about our work, seeing patients as usual and I was taking my time with each patient. The patient load in the afternoon shift was lower compared to the morning shift and both my colleagues were done with their patient load.

    Suddenly, a staff nurse barged into my room saying that there is a massive accident that just occurred nearby, 2 patients were already brought in and 2 more were on their way. They called in all available doctors (which were only the three of us) to help out.

    I told my colleagues to head out and help out first while I rushed through the consultation of my final patient. After that, I rushed to the tiny Emergency Room of the clinic. My colleague who was oncall on that day was already attending to a child. I went over to the other patient, an old lady and did my primary survey and fast scan.

    She was desaturating badly under room air and needed oxygen support. She had an open skull fracture, multiple abrasion and laceration wounds over her face, upper and lower limbs as well as rib fractures and on top of that, her left leg appears shortened and she has a closed fracture over her right lower limb.

    I didn’t think that we should proceed with an x-ray at our clinic even if we had the facility at that time, the best would be to send them straight away to the hospital because she could deteriorate further any time. Thankfully, her GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) was full.

    I was focused on my patient, stabilising while referring her to the specialists of various specialities as well as the emergency physician that when I finally got ready to transfer her out that I noticed the child that my other colleague was attending to. The child’s right arm was crushed and the distal limb of his right arm was pale and his right lung was obvious till mid-chest.

    Just how in the world is he still awake? The poor child was crying out in pain…

    Judging by the state of his and my patient’s injuries, it was definitely high impact.

    The story was, the whole family were travelling back from Miri to Kuching. Both the parents were sitting in front and the father was driving whilst the two children and their grandmother were sitting at the back.

    The father claimed that he was not speeding but as he was about to make a u-turn at a junction, he claimed to have hit the curb and the car turned many times into the other lane before finally stopping and the grandmother and one of the child were thrown out of the car.

    It sounded like a very high impact collision. Thankfully, the parents and the other child were well and unscathed.

    We had to transfer both patients in two separate ambulances to the Red Zone of the Emergency Department at Hospital Bintulu as one ambulance could only transport one patient at a time.

    Upon arriving, I met my colleague and friend at the Red Zone of the hospital. After we have handed over to the medical officers and specialist in the Emergency Department, we headed back together. However, upon reaching back, there was another patient who came in who was extremely tachypnoiec.

    Oh, here we go again… Another Red Zone referral…

    We stabilised the patient and referred her to hospital again. The clock was already showing 10pm when we left. The journey to the hospital takes about 45 minutes to an hour for each journey and the both of us have yet to have our dinner. This time, I choose to accompany her for the referral, mainly for emotional support and also in hopes of stopping by McDonald’s to get a takeout.

    Yes, we did stop by McDonalds after sending the patient safely to the hospital and yes, we used the ambulance and went through drive-through.

    By the time we left, it was already 11pm. The journey takes around 45 minutes to an hour and it was raining heavily. At this point, I was wondering if we would end up celebrating New Year’s in the ambulance.

    Me and my friend ate in the ambulance on the way back while we joked and exchange oncall stories. Thankfully, we reached a little before midnight. The day was completely unexpected, not to mention tiring but it was nice to have spent it with a friend.

    It’s still the beginning of 2026, so if I’m not too late, Happy New Year!

    If you are travelling anytime soon or in the future, do drive safely, stay within speed limits especially if it is raining. Remember to get your car and tyres checked before any long distance journey and NEVER drive under the influence.

    Stay safe always!

  7. Photo Dump: Hawaii 2025-26

    Every year we go to the Big Island to visit family; the Island is one of those special places for me that is just so picturesque with its vibrant flora and fauna! So I thought I’d share my photos from this year’s trip (during New Year’s!) with you here.

    (Just click on the large image to see it in full view. There are thumbnails at the bottom of each section to click through as well.)

    If you’d like to visit my photos from prior years, you can do that here on Pinterest.

    Day 1: Flowers and Animals (and Drinks!)

    Day 2: Kaumana Caves & Rainbow Falls (Hilo)

    Day 3b: Hiking toward the Puako Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve…

    Along the Kohala Coast, the 223-acre Puakō Petroglyph Archaelogical Preserve boasts more than 3,000 ancient petroglyphs, or kiʻi pōhaku, lava rock carvings etched into stone, dating back to 1200 AD. (source)

    On the way to the heart of the petroglyph field, we traveled a fairytale-esque forested trail…

    (🎧 Find the background music, “Fairytale Woods”, here! 🎧)

    Day 3c: Holoholokai Beach Park (adjacent to the petroglyphs)

    At the water’s edge, I almost stepped on a hawksbill turtle sunning himself on the sand–he blended in so well with the surrounding lava rocks I didn’t see him until I was really close!

After drinking shots of tequila during the #NewYearsEve celebration 🎉 on #CNN with Anderson Cooper, with criticism of outgoing #NewYork Mayor #EricAdams increasing with each 🥃, after the crystal ball dropped #AndyCohen said “It is 2026, and there are less rats (in City Hall).” 😂 huffpost.com/entry/drunk-andy-

  10. Reading more details of the horrific fire in that Swiss bar on #NewYearsEve. The legal drinking age in #Switzerland is 16. I don’t know if that played a factor, but there are a lot of grieving parents now. Based on the descriptions it sounds like a flashover happened quickly which led to 40 deaths and 119 injured.
