Fireworks (I)

It's not my first time watching fireworks! I mean, the "LIVE" fireworks!

While was still a child and stayed at Lavender Street area, once a year, we would stand at the corridor at the 11th floor of our flat to watch glimpse of the fireworks... I think, those were the National Day ones... After that... were from the TV... till I went Disneyland!!! hahahh... That was about 3 years ago when the family went to Hongkong... when we stayed up at night to watch the fireworks and laser display. Well, that was a very good one! (even the one at Tokyo DisneySea can't beat it...).

The most recent local live show (a complete one) was 2 years ago, when I waited for almost 30 minutes for the fireworks at Esplanade area, which was part of the Chinese New Year celebration... but too bad, was blocked by trees!

Then... this time! What a coincidence! when the sky was litted up with beautiful sparks! It was a good one! A friend commented that she could not see any difference between seeing the live one (when you have to stand in the open air to watch) and that you see in the TV while sitting comfortably on a sofa... Hm... There's a difference! The vastness of the sky and the 'live' sound effects! Truly, Really, it's Different!!!
