Happy birthday Sillypore

As with every year, fireworks has always been part of the celebration. But this year, they tried to make it grander with a series of more fireworks. I wonder who is paying. And also this will be the last time we will be having our national birthday celebration at the old national stadium. The new one won't be ready till 2010.

Every year this day, it went bom-bom-bom. I will go noisy-noisy-noisy. People from all around the island will make their way here, to see the fireworks. People like me who stayed around the stadium will try to get out and got stuck in the jam. People travelled here and waited for hours just to see that couple of minutes of fireworks while people like me just stayed inside the house and not even bothered to walk down to the river to enjoy the fireworks. Such irony, isn't it?

Its going to be quiet around here this time next year, and the year after next, and the next, and the next.

And also happy birthday to the few people whom I happened to know who shared the their birthday with the nation. Enjoy your day too. Have fun.

Party party party.
