    Singapore Fireworks Celebrations 2008 - Korean Edition

    I was at the Marina Bay Floating Gallery tonight to watch the Korean edition of the Singapore Fireworks Celebration 2008.

    Although the fireworks were to begin at 9PM, the gates were opened from 5.30PM onwards.

    As usual, there was crowding, and this year, there was rain too.

    Here were some activities held under the gallery to entertain early arrivals.

    This is how the floating platform looks like at night.

    This Year the IR didn't Switch Off the Lights During the Fireworks. Maybe they are behind in their construction

    There was a performance of fire stick throws which I think was the only highlight at the makeshift stage tonight.

     

    I am going to show you four numbers of the Korean edition of the Singapore Firework Celebrations 2008.

    The dramatic opening number, which is my favorite.

     

    Here is a slow number of the fireworks performance.

     

    This is another dramatic performance at the beginning of this segment. I don't like the ending part though.

     

    Here is the final movement, which is a disappointment. Maybe the rain dimmed the fire and the finale was not as bright as could be.

     

    As usual, Singaporeans do what they know best; leaving rubbish behind after the show:
