This is my first time ever to go out and do the Merdeka countdown on the eve of merdeka day (31 August every year). My friends (well, it's abang ibrahim's family, him, his wife kak zu and daughter hakimah) and I chose the nearest but less crowded spot nonetheless, to see those fireworks display right after the midnight countdown.
It was awesome really to be amongst thousands other city dwellers to watch this historical event. After all, it's our 49th independence year celebration. Although that might not be exactly the honourable way of remembering our forefathers' struggle to free Malaysia from its colonial, British, i did feel patriotic and proud to be Malaysian. I reckon it is what and how we feel that matters the most.
I let those pictures do the talking....
Lovely fireball up in the KL sky
An evening to remember: counting down towards merdeka moments near Petronas Twintower aka KLCC. And what a great view these fireworks!!
simply breathtaking!
wohooo!!!
what a waste of money, but heck, this is a great firework display!
history has been made

Lucky you.. I was planning to view the fireworks with wife from our balcony.. But fell asleep like 'tidur mati' and both missed it :) Anyway, sure 'sesak nafas' kan with all the crowds, smoke, smell etc etc...
Abdun, as i mentioned before, I got the less crowded spot, so i was in a safer distance away from those horrid smokes, smell etc...
Maybe tidur mati would be your safest option considering your pregnant wife condition.
manal, I wish i can go back for the 50th merdeka celebration. And i do so much want to be a part of it. Insyaallah.
Yeah kak teh, please do that. And maybe the whole family if u and abg H could afford it.
U know what, next year is the centennial anniversary of my old college. That would be a great opportunity if i cud make it to the graduation by next May, inshallah.
Salam Ramadhan al Mubarak.
I saw the firework @UXM (convo's)from far - lagi lawa wei...sayang tak ramai yg tengok.
The one for Merdeka - cannot see anything, just boom-boom sound!

Have a good ramadhan ok. Take care.
