I dont know where to begin with...
But they appeared nearer and nearer, as though a blast coming right at my face. They made my heart palpitate with every Burst of energy. they mesmerised me.
They ignited the confidence and prudence i have believed in, for Singapore.
On the 22nd and 23rd of August 2008,i attended Fireworks 2008 celebrations at Marina bay's floating gallery with Goddess Auri, YIR, Randy bro, Pumpkin, huiru, jiarong and Jingx.. The event i had anticipated earnestly for days, weeks... it had kept me going.
Rain gods might have blessed the arena, but it gave the ambience an even more wonderland feel, with angels' tears yea?
guanyi's finger swept across the minute skyscrapers and asked me if i were proud of Singapore. I replied that i have always been seeng this scene... Maybe i have always taken things for granted.
I saw stars falling, i saw stars disappearing, into my hands, so near yet so far.
It was this moment i found the answer. How my soul swelled with pride for the success of Sinagpore when i'm encaptured within a capsule - my imagination - with only slits directing my vision toward the blooms of fireworks....
Every burst of sparks made me soar higher, bolder.
On 'starry' nights like this, the lights never go out.
Because the city is ALIVE.
My first RED t-shirt ever, Uniquely Singapore.

On the last night on the 23rd august, my mood fluctuated like mad. My sadness culminated every second the fireworks exploded.
I had yet another crazy idea, that i was gonna have my wedding photos taken at the CITY CENTRE!!! Mum would surely 100% say i'm siao... but i'm just dreaming here la. in fronta the merlion, the esplanade, in front of the gigantic ferris' wheel, the majestic skyscrapers.
I simply love it there alright, The city that never sleeps.
On my way home i stared around me, and it all feels the same. Some drudgery, somewhere familiar.
I want the city where i am unknown...
Though i was merely an amateur usher those two days, i knew what i wanted, what i loved. I realised who i am why i was there.
i knew myself.

ay.starsplash.some things keep me going.
I had every moment of fun with all of you, i will never ever forget this event, the one and only opportunity.
i love the red tshirt alot alot, and the lanyard is in my cupboard, snug and warm, i'll keep it safe.
Even though the sparks dimmed as they fell from the sky...
I REALISED - It was there, WATCHING the display WITH YOU GUYS,
THAT I AM GRATEFUL FOR.
It was there with you all that was so worthwhile, no matter what.
It was the one and only reason
i had emoed...
