watched fireworks @ Marina with Eugene just now... today's firewks were from Spain!

As always b4 the show there is this endless waiting. And Eugene happens to be not very tolerant abt waiting more than 15 mins. even if its for food. ha. So yep, since I'm not a very gd entertainer, he found ways to entertain himself also. Like talking to this photographer guy next to us. haha...

It start late though... like 9.10++ pm. And there's this lame lights show at the floating platform there with them playing with laser. I think everyone was VERY impatient by then cos pp waited so long leh... then u make us excited by counting down at the platform there... then u don't start the show but played with lazer?!?!

Lucky it was a great show... haha. Alot new firewks, some i can recognise from those i saw in France. 15 mins of craning my neck and almost 2 hrs plus of waiting... hmm. once a year, worth it ba... Last year and this year... Hmm. A bit of difference.
Last yr's show were incorporated with music. I could hear it even from across the merlion area at the 2nd bridge. But this yr... the music and everything were focused on the pp at the floating platform area. Music, lightings, angle of firewks... all for them.

Last year the crowds were more terrible. Too many pp. This yr there were crowd controls and all along Marina you see TP. all the way to City Hall Stn there's commandos at the traffic lights, police here and there. Wa... People were sometimes even running.. dash across the traffic lights.. Eugene said it was like a freakin war zone, which I must agree. The security's very tight! Poor things are those cars who kena stuck in the long line of jammed cars. Man... and the TP and commandos also add a bit of 'pressure' there...
