unker kona braves the crowd at marina south...

...to bring one and all some pictures of the new year's eve countdown fireworks display (phew what a long description! LOL)...

i have to admit that this was my first time doing something like this...previously i had always scoffed at those who trekked their way into deep dark marina south in order to get a good vantage point just to take these sorts of photographs...but somehow this year it seemed fitting to do likewise...it will be a year for new experiences, new beginnings and i just wanted to do something out of the ordinary, i guess...

the crowds were horrendous to say the least...and the ground was muddy in many areas (lucky my birkies are still in good condition)...but the whole display made it worth the while...PWAH!!!!!!!

that being said, MOTHER!!! it took half an hour to get from the carpark lot out to the ECP...by then my blinking left leg was trembling from the effort of clutching in and out...and another half an hour to go up the CTE to home (massive traffic...probably people leaving town after the fireworks and countdown)...

finally hit the sack at 2 some for some well-deserved rest... :)

everyone, have yourselves a wonderful 2006 ahead! *wave*
