Now that the fireworks have settled down and the National Day Recipe Mega Sale is over, I thought I would share with you some pictures of fireworks.   Thank you to those who have made the purchase.

I know these pictures are making you cringe.   Imagine this!   Thousands of people came to town to watch the fireworks that was held in the central district and facing the Marina Bay.   We  were smart, me and my girlfriend and our kids, we arrived like 2 hours earlier.  And then the sight simply hit us, there were thousands who had arrived much earlier and been there like half a day earlier.   Speaking of kiasu Singaporeans..:)  yes, me being one of them…LOL!

If it was not for the sake of my princess, I would have turned back. We got a spot, and had a little picnic.  We waited.  Five minutes before 8pm, everyone in front of us ROSE!   Despite groans from the back, no one paid attention.  Like the warriors we mothers are, I grabbed my 9-year old princess and secured her on my left hip  (and I am a short five foot nothing), and using my right arm to adjust the camera and well, as you can see, the photography could be better!     I might mention it was a long time ago since I had to carry my little girl who ain’t so little any more and the left hand did seem dead for a week.

These pictures, my friends, ain’t award-winning but the imperfections captured a moment in time that can only be appreciated and understood by me and my kid:).
