national day...
i din noe national day celebration can be so fun!! fireworks can be so beautiful... breathtaking... simply splendid!! this is the happiest national day celebration ever... (since pri 5 when i got the chance to watch national day celebration live at the stadium... the rehersa anyway...)
6th august 2005
after watching "stealth" and "the island' with jy... we went to esplande park to view the fireworks released at marina south.. heard that this set of fireworks is made by the portugese...
it was a long wait for it to start... ...
but all those minutes spent became worthwhile when the 1st "boom" was heard and the colours appear in the sky...
it is veri difficult to descride the palette of colours that burst into the sky...
but i can tell u that my favourite fireworks is the blue one...for 15 years (ie age 3 onwards)... i've never missed the fireworks during national day... seen all types of fireworks... but the thing is... i've nv seen a set of blue b4... what's even more amazing is that the marvellous blue palette choose to appear as jy says that he wishes to see blue fireworks!! it's our fav colour... =0P
fireworks usually have sparks that spread out evenly, forming a regular circle... wat's so special abt this blue was that amongst the evenly spread sparks.... were drops of golden sand... imagine... as the blue arrows shoot out in all directions from the centre... golden drops fall to complement it... it was a magnificent sight...my second fav is the golden fireworks that dissolve into golden dust after exploding into yet another colourful works... then slowly disappearing into the dark blue sky...
what made all this colours magical... filled with splendour n even romantic is the fact that i've watched them in the protective arms of
him... at the moment when sparks flew... i felt a sense of security... ...
9th august 2005
this is the actual day where Singapore celebrates her 40 years of independence... on this day... grandma celebrates her 72nd bdae...
it's been quite some time since i step into her place... no one changed... save baby jarrel... who can now walk n speak a few words...
i used to celebrate National day here by viewing fireworks live outside their windows... they have got the best view here i reckon...
this year's celebration is special for 2 reasons...
1) National Day parade was held at Padang... the first time ever since our 1st independence...
2) National Day celebration was held at Tampines, Jurong East, Yishun and Marina South... at around 8.15... the fireworks began... from my view here at St. George's road... i'm able to capture the release of fireworks of 2 places at once!! just imagine... spectaculating 2 sets of fireworks in the same night sky... 2 sets of fireworks... both juz as pretty... juz as splendid... juz as impressive.. juz as colourful... you get to see how the 2 palette of colours brighten up the navy blue sky...
how many are able to do that?? not those at padang... not those at marina south... not those at yishun, jurong east n tampines... n definitely not those watching the celebration on tv... only us... this group of fortunate ppl who juz happen to be high enuf at blkxx of st george's road..
