Went for the MIFC Merdeka Eve countdown. It was Team Japan that night. Instead of the usual 10pm start, this time it was at 12am in conjunction with the country's 50th Independence Day!

Went with hubby, Jon & Cassie. Arrived around 11pm. Wanted to get into PICC, but didn't know how. The police just kept diverting us away from it! Instead, we ended up on the roadside. Again :P But it was a different location this time.

The first set that went off right after Negaraku and countdown ...



Oh yeah, we could hear it from where we were that night >_<

It was nice and spectacular! I missed some really nice fireworks like the star, heart and planet. Gosh, I wonder what I was doing -_-"

Japan was nothing short of colour! The purplish-blue ones were simply beautiful.





And shapes.





And size!

The closing set

The closing set was simply big! Couldn't even capture all at the height it went off! It was really big, beautiful and high. 'Tho it kinda reminded me of the tree lights outside Istana Negara at night >_<

Reached home close to 3am -_-"

Selamat Hari Merdeka, Malaysia! Well, better late than never!!! :P
