for the second night in a row i was at the esplanade for the fireworks display..this time i went with adrienne (my friend from air force..i used to be known as her "meimei"!!) and her friend, irene..if the crowd yesterday was bad..then today it's more than two times worse! we got subway take-aways and reached there before 8pm..the whole place was already filled to the brim! goodness..initially we followed the crowd and got stuck in a massive human jam..thankfully we somehow managed to forge a path and made it to the steps at the waterfront..two kind aunties even made space for us so that we could sit while we waited! so cool! apparently they have been there since 5.30pm!
when the display started at 9pm, everyone was on their feet, admiring the fireworks-lit sky to a symphony of "ooo"s and "aaahhh"s..and just for that 15 minutes, it seemed like the whole world stood still as the sky glittered and sparkled in a colourful splendour.. adrienne and i agreed it was a trip worthwhile though both of us were there the night before - we both had crappy views then! when it was all over, i asked the two aunties if that 15 minutes was worth their three hours wait..and i can still picture those gleeful smiles on their faces as they told me in no uncertain terms "of course!"
i'm tired, my eyes are closing and i'm starting to see fireworks on my screen (those are the photos? oh riiight..)..
good night..
