I think i'm a loner. I prefer doing things alone, going out alone. Am i such a loner or is that i've yet to meet anyone that has the same projectile as me? Its troublesome going out in large groups! everyone wants different directions. Wait here wait there, might as well wait until Christmas?
Today is saturday :-). Its 'riverfestival' or what the locals call 'riverfire'. An annual event aims to create awareness of the river, providing entertainment and events for the general public. Well, its fondly called 'riverfire' cos there's fireworks (again) cheorographed together with exlusive Riverfire soudtrack played over the local radio station.
The fireworks kicked and ended off with the crowd favourite - 2 RAAF F-111 strike jet sweeping low over the city, reaching speed of up to 800kph before performing the 'dump and burn' display.
Was in the city actually around 3 to buy some stuff for my project. The fireworks starts at 7pm sharp. thought i could get a good view of the fireworks. instead, had to wait for some friends. missed the airshow that was going on around 5. after that, they went for dinner! i had mine around 4. lunch + dinner to be exact. well... dinner lasted till 6.30... and the fireworks start at 7! where got good view?
The place surrounding South Bank, where the good spots are, is completely FULL! and i mean FULL!! was rather pissed off... was sitting there for hours doing nothing, waiting for this, waiting for that... knn...
When the fighter jets flew passed, i was anxiously waiting for the fireworks to 'fly' high up into the sky, with my digicam in hand, ready to snap. but to my dismay, it started off with some low ones from boats on the river. Argh!!! CAN"T SEE!!! where? where? wanted to say "see my a**"
The fireworks lasted for a good 1/2 hour. Was walking around the area (alone), trying to find a good place to take photos... managed to take some though, but missed most of it :-[
Well, i'll make sure i'll get a good view next year! and i mean I.
