Spectacular fireworks

Happy New Year 2008 to all of you. Selamat tahun baru!

I had a great time when my family as we celebrated the countdown to 2008 over here at one of the KL's latest shopping havens called the Curve. As my kids love to watch fireworks - they did not have enough of those at the recent firework festival - so being an obliging dad I brought them to experience the new year revelry and the fireworks illuminating the dark sky to usher in the new year.

I guess there were possibly thousands of people that night as there were more than one countdown at The Curve, and at least 3 fireworks displays around the vicinity of Mutiara Damansara. No wonder the crowd. And the jam ;)

Frankly, I have never viewed fireworks at such close proximity so it's really very inspiring to see the spectacle tonight with my family. The only bad point was the my neck became ached after bending it to view the sky for nearly 10 minutes!

We love it totally of course!

Malaysia Internation Fireworks Competition 2007

The big talking point in town right now is of course MIFC 2007 which will be held at Putrajaya International Convention Centre from 18 August 2007 till 2 September 2007. Several nations like Australia, Japan, Italy and Malaysia will be competing for the Merdeka trophy.

Already I have heard that one the first day, there was severe overcrowding at the location and massive traffic jams. I think fireworks are magnificent and everyone loves to see and wow to it. Photgraphy buffs love to capture the transcient moments when the explosives flare up the night sky into twinkling streams of colourful lights.

I'll definitely bring my family there for a good time. But would need to fight hard for a viewing spot. Sigh...
