The fireworks at the esplanade were the most beautiful ones ever displayed in Sg history. They were even nicer than the ones we see annually. Best of all, I had the best view as I managed to get a table by the river and the fireworks were right in front of me. The joy of seeing such beautiful strands and spirals of light illuminating the dark sky was just so overwhelming that I was almost moved to tears by its beauty. I regret not having taken a camera along with me to capture these best moments in life for there was at least 30 mins of fireworks and that is definitely the longest in Sg's history. But I console myself that pictures can never capture that kinda feeling and joy etc compared to what's been recorded in my memory. The myriad of colours from the fireworks added a tinge of hope, happiness and positive energy in the air despite the ongoing wars and terrorist activities in other parts of the world. I couldn't help but speculate that there were probably hundreds of plainclothes detectives since this was the best event to bomb and the sound of the fireworks resembled that of a bomb. If anyone decided to bomb the place after the fireworks are over, I think I would have died in peace. I must say that this is one of the rare national events which really impressed me so much. There were interesting performances and the U Blues were just great! I was feeling so high on the fireworks that when I headed for the U Blues performance, I was intoxicated by the great music they were jamming. The acrobatic performance by the Australian group was impressive too... I am so bushed right now and all I can say is, I am really impressed and this is a night I would never forget :)
