Why so crazy about fireworks?

[Rickster]

but cannot be suaku mah....I mean they must have seen those fireworks many many times already rite? Every year also have one what.....so why it is that people are still so crazy about it that they can jam, fight, rush, pack just for it?

 

Well I was stuck in the horrific jam for a whole 40 minutes juz becos i wanna go suntec for a meal.. in the end go Orchard when i saw the crowd @ suntec.

 

Actually i believe its not that the fireworks is facinating or anything. Its the experience of going to "soak in the atmosphere" and taking it as a fun meeting with frens to "see and be seen" kind of things that attracts people. If u realise, the crowd is generally quite young.

Hi babe only children and little gals like fireworks... guys only join in to satisfy their needs... thats all.

 

U got that right.

[Turbonetics]

Guys,

 

I don't understand this. what is it that is so fascinating about fireworks? Is it Sporeans are so deprived of entertainment that they are willing to stuck in jams, stuck in public transport, walk miles and miles, just for that 5-15 minutes of fireworks?

 

I really don't get it. What is so interesting about some spluttering lights in the air?

 

fireworks are nice to see for me...

so what is so great about the car u drive???

[Blackyv]

i stay sengkang and after noticing how cte traffic has become, i no longer like to go downtown...to me, orchard, suntec, or whatever they have no longer interest me.... i already lost track when was the last time i step into those CBD land...

 

i rather go TM, J8, and those neigborhood shopping and cinema....

[Stary]

what has this got to do with what car I drive?

[Sillyme]

We appreciate and enjoy different things.

 

You're probably just irked by the inconvenience the event has brought.

[Stary]

is is really worth the trouble?

[Turbonetics]

what iam trying to say is to say is to each his own...

[Sillyme]

How do you place worth?

 

Like Turbonetics said, "to each his own". You may think it's not worth the trouble, but those who enjoyed it thinks it is. Similarly, you probably had sacrificed for things you appreciate that others don't.

Son, take your time to understand the simple enjoyment of fireworks. You still have plenty of time.

[David]

the organisers will say it is Nation's Birthday ma. plus they will say these problems are due to pple, not the event.

 

But i have to say the self-centredness of these pple are really out of control. Stop the car on the highway to watch fireworks?

So the problem is the drivers and their car, not the firewroks.

[Acemundo]

yup, i don't usually link 2 things together.

 

if there are responsible drivers who wanna enjoy fireworks, by all means.

 

not when they slow down or stop at major roads to watch fireworks at expense of other drivers

[Turbonetics]

last sat,i was watching at the bridge between fullerton and esplanade...

then the 2 left lanes vehicles stopped by and some drivers and passengers actually came out from their cars to watch...

[Turbonetics]

watching fireworks helps to relieve stress and make us feel relaxed...

[Irene]

If you accompany your loved ones watching the fireworks, it will mean something that money cant buy. Its either romantic for the gals or it just melt them. Children will get so excited and seeing their smiles melt my heart. But for those who are alone... it just mean nothing.

[Turbonetics]

for those who r alone,it means experiencing it...

[Ronnie]

what sort of rubbish are you spewing?

 

dont forget, all of you are watching the fireworks alone with your own eyes. the kids are there to make the noise which to my delight, being drowned out by the fireworks.

 

being alone can enjoy the fireworks better, can make new friends... like i did in the recent moomba festival in aust.

 

 

u have a long way to go baby.

[Boyboy]

Fireworks make an interesting subject for photography.

 

i didn't go this year, but with the kind of jam, i'd rather wait for new year's eve fireworks i took fireworks pix during national day two years ago, didn't drive then so public transport was my only option. i think more people watched this year!
