Merdeka 2007 (Part One)

Last 2 days was the most memorable event that ever happen in our country. Yup! Of course it was ...


THE 50TH MERDEKA!!!




So, mua sis, sis's boyfriend and cousin had all went 1utama. I know, you must be wondering why i'm heading over that instead of some happening place like Putrajaya...etc. Actually we went there because we heard of this Midnight Sales thing. So yeap, wanted to go there for shopping! xp. But as the clock continuing ticking till almost 11.30, the shops was getting lesser and lesser. LIAR! Haha~ So, since one of the happening places was just few km from 1Utama which is The CUrve, we walked across. Everyone mainly parked at 1u's open carpark and walk across because of the heavy traffic and car parks are hard to get. By 11.45pm, everyone was rushing over just to be on time for the fireworks. Of course we were one of them. Haha* When we got there, it was definately packed! We were finding the proper spot as we don't really know where the fireworks will be played.


The lightings
From the above pic, if you walk upwards somemore, there is already a huge stage for a so called Merdeka concert. Therefore, a lot of people was there. So, we headed there. As we were walking, the fireworks had started!!! Very well, that time we were under the bridge and the fireworks was ABOVE the bridge. What!! Others who stood under the brige including us had of course ran upwards, out of the brigde to see the it. Phew~ Anyway, the place we were standing was perfect, just under the big gigantic colourful fireworks. As usual, everyone was taking this opportunity to take pictures of it, recorded it and some, well just enjoyed it! =D


Here are some random pics of the fireworks!



















After the 12minutes (to be exact) firework that had been played, the so call mini concert started. Everyone sang the "Tanggal 31" song. And yeap, once again, we were opposite of the concert...argghhh!

Walked across, this time was getting more and wild. People was more sweatier and hyper. The concert was featuring Vince, Juwita Suwito, Fish Leong, Ainal Zaibidin and Reshmonu. But i didn got the chance to see as i saw this only the next day, announced in the newspaper.



ALso, they had this guy (i think 2, cant really see), performing with their fire thingy. LOL. I dont what its called but you know, those kind. See below.


I can feel the heat eventhough i wasnt standing that near. I wonder how they can do it. ANyway, there was also this few crazy people in the crowd standing on people's shoulder dancing, swaying and even holding up signs like below. WEIRD~


They also had 2 huge screens where was placed on the left and right of the stage. The camera shoots the crowd as its showned on the big screen.


This guy was on stage. His playing I dont know what instrument it is. The Bongas???!??!



People was crazy as they were playing with the sprays madly. It was sold almost everywhere around the compound.



Around 12.25am where everyone started to leave, we went to yam cha first to avoid the long hours of traffic jam outside. Went to the Kopitiam, shop was about to close but we still went.




Some random pics...






SO that's the end of Merdeka (Part One), will blog soon about Merdeka (Part TWo) which is of couse about the events on Merdeka day itself. SO yeap, chaos ~ *stomach's growling* xD
