New Year 2006!!

Very quickly, I've eased into the new year. During NDP 05 standby, I saw a long line of people on Sheares Bridge, eagerly awaiting the fireworks. Envious, I promised myself that I'd be there watching fireworks one day too.

Never did I expect myself to fulfil this wish right before the year ends. The fireworks for New Year Countdown was spectacular, but I think the best view should be at Merlion Park or Esplanade Bridge. I think that fireworks display is like live animation on a gigantic flat TV screen, plus the crowd and music; I mean the actual screen seems to be two-dimensional. On the Sheares Bridge, my "screen" was as high as the sky is, but the width is rather narrow. On New Year's Day, when I saw the picture taken by a Lianhe Zaobao photographer, his "screen" as viewed from Esplanade Bridge was just as high, but many times wider.

Anyway next time maybe a hotel suite to watch the fireworks??
