Like them all, especially #3 and #5, like bouquets of flowers. Weather was in your favour too. Anyone else got any shots of the last part? I was busy changing film that I missed it.

Looks good, too bad the background is quite underexposed. But it is intended to be that way right?

Walk from Marina Bay MRT station, go north towards the ECP flyover. Go underneath it, u will reach a big empty field. Walk through to the center. There was a lot of cars. The field is big enuff, lots of ample space, no trees blocking. No need to go too early to "book". One downside is that, it's from the side of the display, so u will not get the frontal view of the fireworks.

any idea how to get there by car? if cars can go in onto the field, there should be a road ya? anyone here know how?

[latmo]

oh ya
next week singapore team say will have some water effect or what ...
hm thinking should i go there next week

Follow the blue markings for directions:




You can drive onto the field. Many pple do that. The problem is, after the fireworks, there will be a HUGE HUGE jam to exit that place (only one small road to ECP up towards sheares bridge, which will be super super jammed)

If you can, manpack your stuff and take train. Park your vehicle somewhere at another station. Will save you alot of frustration getting out of that jam. Alternatively, get your loved ones to picnic with you and sing your way out of the sufferings afterwards
