This might interest all of you....
On October 12th,
The fireworks will start roughly 1015...
the watever bridge (nicol highway)? will be closed that day....

and it will last for 30minutes...*gosh*

best to position yourself on the bridge itself...or at the waterfront theatre...

the person refuse to disclose where the fireworks will be out from... and said its gonna be everywhere...

wat interest me is.... 30mins of fireworks...

damn it should be very beautiful

anybody has other info? lets share it here...and maybe someone could organise an outing tat day...

cheers! im looking forward to it

Uncomfirmed, rumored details:

Time: 1015
Date: 12 October 2002, Saturday
Location: Dunno, Nicholl bridge area?

If its really 30 mins, really worth going.

Close the highway? So power? Close liao then car all go where? =p

If really 30min, I will camp 3 days 3 night there.

30 mins?!?! sure or not? that's a heck of a lot of fireworks... much more than NDP.

Zoomer · 25th September 2002

I have a gut feeling that its 30 seconds instead of 30mins.

30 min?? What, we catch osama, defuse Saddam, resolve the economic crisis and UN gives us 10billion with another 5 coming from US tomorrow?

Fireworks are so common nowadays, even mooncake festival also have. Whats the cost of fireworks to 600 million anyway?
