HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE !
Took 3 hours to find a good spot to catch the fireworks;


intial plans was to head to marina south pier, which i did last year to catch the fireworks.
Apparently, when we alighted at marina bay's mrt, the available exits were all diverted into one, causing me to lose my sense of direction. I had a map, to walk to pier from the mrt, but the silly me forgot to bring my compass :S
Anyway, we walk-walk-walk-walk, with many obstructions, turning here and there until we hit padang. Which is obviously wrong. We ended up being caught in the human traffic congestion which was WTFFFFFFFFFFFISH. There was a hell lot of Singaporeans and forgeiners finding a spot too, to catch the fireworks.

I knew i was lost of directions totally so we decided to cab in to pier. But there was this taxi driver that i approached claiming that the roads to pier were closed. It was then that i realised
the plan was no longer feasible. We continued with our search for a good spot at padang area then. Moving slowly from point to point because of the human traffic, thank God we managed to find a good area to sit down at around 11? :)

Well, fireworks were spectacular! :D I didn't have pictures to showcase this time, partly because i'm lazy to bring the camera out and i want to travel light :X
EVEN if i did bring my camera out, its noob at night. Normal 'point-and-shoot' cameras have pathetic ISO settings for night shoots and definitely, cannot capture nice shots of the fireworks in the beautiful night sky.

Anyway, we evactuated shortly after the fireworks were all put up and boy oh boy, the human traffic got worst this time. People couldn't move, chao ah bengs shouting vulgarities, ah lians taking out their mirror checking if their make up faded because of the immense sweat they had.
Stupid red berets were at the road, looking obviously as lost as us. They were waiting for directions to release the barriers or not and we were waiting for them. People around us inclusive of ourselves were starting to really sweat and stink :D

It was in the crowd that i realised there was this poor mum carring her child in her arms. It was like a BABY only. The mum was sweating, and the baby was obviously feeling worst than us, since all the 'fresh' air the baby could breathe was all the sweat stench from surrounding people.
I wanted to help, but there was nothing i certainly can do.

The queue started moving shortly, and the crowd disperesed in 2 directions. Mainly one towards city hall mrt and the other towards raffles place mrt. All in all, we took 45 minutes to get out from Esplanade area to raffles place mrt.


I spent the last day of the year 2009 and transitioned into the first day of a new year with you, definitely, you mean more than anything else to me.

i'm darn sleepy now. And im gonna sign off this post this way!
tah-ta. sleep time :D

anyway, i got the pictures! Courtesy of GLENN and his DSLR !
