The Damned World

A brand new blog for 2008. This is the mark for a brand new beginning i presume for myself. Though this entry wasn't on the first day of 2008 but here is a little recap on the things had happened.

01 Jan 2008:
I was at Marina Square watching the fireworks presentation for ushering into a new year. I had to comment that this year's was especially stunning. There were many "special effects" that they have pulled out. For example
-fireworks that had a 2nd burst after it's main
-had different colors, though old trick but still captivating when viewing it
-had shape that look like the planet Saturn (with an orbit around the main spherical burst)
-The Finale was 3 burst of fireworks that after the main burst becomes little sparkles that
looked like twinkle little stars
The massive crowd broke into applauses after the roughly 10 minutes long explosions went down.

When the fireworks were hitting the sky earlier, i can't helped notice that among the crowd, many were holding to cameras. From this, the dull looking crowd viewed by me from the 2nd level of Marina Square turned rather beautiful. The crowd were lit up by numerous LCD screens n flashes from cameras. The flashes resemblance the twinkle stars in the fireworks. Like the fireworks, this is also a rare view as it is hard to get a gigantic crowd like the together and have these camera effects. I call this the "Fireworks of the Audience".

Of course, the journey back home was less beautiful. huge crowd moved out to the MRT station at the same time. Floors left with litters and all the rubbish that people had discard.

MRT did provide an excellent service however. The frequency of train was rush; there were trains arriving on time every 2-3 minutes. Thus each train moved off with a spacious atmosphere for it's passengers and i would really praised MRT for this.

The start of the year was not a good one for me however due to certain personal reasons that i don't want to share here. However i have a belief that a bad start always ends fantastically and let just hope this phrase never fails.
