nope...

nearly under the shears bridge... behind the carnival at marina..

[k3nn3th03]

an advise to all,

the fireworks is fired from a barge moor away from the reclaimed land.. so i guess the bridge or under the bridge is better... so u can have the lighted building as background...

can see clearly as its very visiable...

good luck guys...

thanks for the info,so it's the same spot as last year firework festival.

if i din remember wrongly, last year festival site was on the reclaimed itself... not on barge..

cos i was on the land further down..

hmmm... i spell wrongly..

u know those big floating "ship" that carry the sand, soil, etc on sea then tow by a tow boat ?? ahhh... that one..

moor = parking..

therefore, the "ship" parking there loh..

i think going to sheares bridge is a better idea
from what i know, the area under sheares bridge might be blocked off access by the police since the marching contingents will be using there for holding area...

Ya, sheares bridge will be the best as per k3nn3th03 but I haven't got
the chance to go up.
Mean I don't know how to go about.
Hopefully the rest that joined know the way..

yea... but when i was there, there wasnt anyone there liao except some medic, lo bo-s... not sure abt preview or actual day..

think the access is by going up the stairs.. cant imagine climbing ... my god..

since there a few show, i might try different places.. then decide the best to go for actual NDP...
