Firework Extravaganza


With the school holidays and nothing planned to keep The Boy occupied, I decided to take him to the Malaysian International Firework Competition in Putrajaya. Set out from our house at 9 pm coz knew that it would be jammed packed with cars, especially when nearing the venue. It's held near PICC and true enough, we just beaten the rush as the traffic flow was quite light but with people stopping at anywhere they fancy, it constricts the traffic flow. The Boy wanted to go in the fun-fair where they had rides, so being a spoiling dad I obliged.

The thing that got me was that you have to pay for entrance at RM5/3 (adult/child) and then have to purchase tokens for rides min 2 tokens/person/ride @ RM 3/token. See how they milk money out of you? Preying on guilt that most parents have for not spending quite enough time with their offspring and have to make up by spending on them....(guilty as charged).

The firework starts at 10pm, with all the lights at the funfair plus the surrounding area being turned off. I didn't manage to get any good shot with my IXUS 55 plus haven't got a decent tripod to prop it. So the photos were taken mostly by The Boy, thinking that he could be a budding photographer in the future.

But managed to get some clip about it, as per below :
