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

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?

[denizenx]

I no scanner (if u read my posts LOL)
but the event is a street performance around durian spreading ard the highway stretch in front, hence closure, macam carnival.
then there will be premieres inside. then somewhere inside got the president nathan to unveil the offical plaque ard 8pm inside.
everything is supposed to start in afternoon liao around 3pm..
well the brochure is with my artsy fren so I see him online I ask him to type something up LOL... but I did browse through the brochure briefly... it's a booklet hyping the 2-3 wk events..
