pre national day fireworks

11.20pm: moby rushes out of ntu house to pick up blinkymummy from her place to watch fireworks...

11.28pm: moby reaches blinkymummy's house. speeds off on to aye towards town...

11.35pm: moby reaches benjamin sheares bridge. asks blinkymummy if she wants to watch along the road cuz apparently the traffic police allowed people to park on the side of the expressway...blinkymummy says "no, i want to watch somewhere that has air-con and alcohol...". moby mumbles something incoherantly about getting stuck in traffic.

11.42pm: moby comes off the aye and promptly scolds a taxi driver for cutting into his lane, and also a trishaw rider for peddling too slow. gets stuck in traffic.

11.45pm: moby parks car at raffles city carpark and runs up escalator towards westin stamford. blinkymummy smoked too much so follows behind slowly.

11.47pm: blinkymummy and moby reach new asia bar counter downstairs. blinkymummy pays for two, new asia bar bouncer tells them that the fireworks "at the padang" cannot be seen from the bar. knn.

11.50pm: blinkymummy and moby run outside to get a view of the flash and bang show at the padang.

11.55pm: blinkymummy and moby find a nice vantage spot to watch the fireworks opposite the padang. moby tells blinkymummy, "finally...got nice place to watch...". blinkymummy tell moby, "yeah, no one to block our view some more...".


blinkymummy waiting

12.00am: blinkymummy and moby wondering why nobody's around. but don't care. just sit first cuz got nice view. moby wonders whether the trees are blocking his camera angle. blinkymummy just happy to be in a good position. moby tells blinkymummy, "sekali we're in the wrong place ah...hahaha...later we sit here and wait while the bang bang is happening behind us...hahahaha....". blinkymummy tells moby, "hahahaha. that'd be damn loser loh!".


excited blinkymummy

12.05am: blinkymummy and moby see spotlights in the sky (warning to the planes of the firepower ahead they thought)...getting more excited that the show's going to start soon. blinkymummy tells moby, "the show's going to start soon! woohoo!!!".

12.07am: blinkymummy and moby sit and wait. blinkymummy and moby hear soft booms in the distance. blinkymummy and moby see nothing in the sky.

12.08am: blinkymummy and moby see many people running excitedly behind them. moby tells himself, "well done.".

12.09am: blinkymummy and moby get up and start moving off to where the masses are gathered at MARINA BAY. blinkymummy still insists that the fireworks aren't there. moby doesn't care and just runs.

12.10am: moby reaches the other side of the road where the sights and sounds are coming from...blinkymummy tired already from running up the escalator so trails behind. blinkymummy shouts to moby, "where got??? don't have lah!!!". moby keeps running.

12.11am: moby sees this:
