18th Feb 2007: 1st Day of Lunar New Year (Very sianz)


1st Day of Lunar New Year, damn sianz.. my dad side relative all come to our house.. I was like sian-ing the whole day using laptop and slacking around.. Nothing much to talk about.. At about 5 plus, my parents went out to 1 of my dad side relative house, leaving me, my bro and my sis at home. After dinner, i told my sis and bro that i going out for taking photos, and so i brought the Canon DSLR out and set off to the old RP Campus at Phoenix Park for some photo shooting outside before heading off to Esplanade for some night shots. Upon reaching there, i saw a lot of people and i just walked past Esplanade to the Riverside HongBao event area and shot some photos. As i was shooting photos of the Esplanade carpark signboard which the LED shows "FULL", some people just like to block my way and hence i switch on the flash button and as i tried to use the DSLR and focus, flashes come out and this is used to give people the signal that i'm taking photos and not to BLOCK my way. I hate people who block my view deliberately when i'm taking photos. After that it attracted the police (who patrol the area) and they came to ask me why i taking photos of them when my intention was to only take photo of the view. Never mind, this kind of people i LIKE to entertain one.. That time the TIB820H of Service 67 one also like that, that one more worst, so much so that i have to lodge a complaint against him, that's because he deserves it!!!

After that, as i started to walk off to Esplanade bus stop, i heard the sound of the fireworks, and it's really to my surprise. I quickly rush off to the spot near Esplanade bridge to shoot as many photos of the fireworks as possible. After that then i went to Esplanade bus stop to take 960 back home.
