Fireworks Festival/Night Skate

I was just thinking as i'm starting to blog; should my computer ever hang, i'm so gonna hang everyone! =X
Having not watched ANY fireworks for National Day, National Day eve, and the rest of the days that the fireworks were played on different days, i thought, since i'm free on Saturday, why not urban in town and CATCH the fireworks too! =) Urban-ing rocks especially if everyone is looking at you, and go like "wah! i feel like rollerblading!" "papa, see! they all rollerblading!!" Isn't it a GOOD way to promote the sport? xD And of course, some others will be "eh careful behind got people!" (yeah, that meant to avoid our wheels rolling on their feet)

Anyway, before i side track, decided to organize a night skate. (that's cause tianjun kept pestering me, and yet don't wanna organize!! Bully xmm...!) Meeting time was 7pm, was late, arrived 7.15, and i thought, oh no...so i practically walked like half runn
ing already, then rang Tianjun up and he said NO ONE was there except him. -.-''' So we waited and waited, till about 8, then left the place. There were 5 of us altogether.


We were skating around Fullerton Hotel waiting for the fireworks. Until the last few minutes, Lex decided to not join us and took off his skates cos he hates crowds -.- So we chiong, as in really CHIONG lor...like everyone's adrenaline running damn high.

We skated right onto the road, going against the slow moving traffic. AND the fireworks started going off! We were still stucked in the stupid crowd lor~ And a building was right in front. So we managed to catch the reflections of the fireworks. Tianjun made a good move, he pushed the metal railings/barricades, whatever you call them, that the police has set up to prevent the crowd from spilling all over the road. Ignored the number of police on the roads and we just skated right onto the road. SO COOL la!! We got a direct view of the fireworks. The police were trying to stop us, but to no avail. I've got 2 videos which i will upload to youtube soon, and many pictures of the fireworks.

Fireworks!~ By a French Team. Team New Caledonia.








After the fireworks ended, we were scurrying through people mountain people sea (人山人海).

Headed to Marina after that.

On the way to Marina, saw this cute photographer, doing sucha sexy stance that i decided to take a picture of him while he takes the view in front =X He just set up his tripod right in the middle of the crowd and decides to bend down and captures stuffs =\ SExy eH! XD *imagine someone goes behind him and kick right up in between his legs. WAHAHAH~

We skated through loads more crowds again and finally reached an empty big field, with ALOT of litter all over the grass. People picnic-ed there before the fireworks, and being uncivilised, decided to just leave their rubbish behind for the cleaners to clear up. Sigh~ The 4 of us decided to rest and we lie on the grass patch. It was so cooling and quiet because right in front of us is the Singapore River~ The thing that was missing were the stars in the sky! Else everything else would just be perfect! We lazed around for quite a while and took pictures!

Since some of us were hungry, decided to head down to look for food. Came across this building, which i forgot what name it was, UOB was it? And there was this big empty ground. We started skating round and round, then decided to slalom! Yeah, as always expected, security guards chased us away. So we headed down to Burger King, and thank God, it was still open (although the stated time: 11pm closed and it was 11.06pm) and we had the last order.
Hang out till about 11.33pm and Tianjun needed to rush to the MRT to catch last train. With much persuasion, Sha accompanied him. According to them, they just wore their skates right into the MRT, no one stopped them. And yes, i know the feeling is shoik skating inside lor~ =P
Miumiu(michelle) and i skated back to her house. It was so wonderful, this urban was. And i must agree with Sha that great friends come with joy, it doesn't matter HOW MANY were going, but WHO were coming. =)

Clockwise from left-right. Shasha, Miumiu, Tianjun & Me
