Celebrating Singapore's National day and catching Fireworks for the first time

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)


Today, 9th August is the national day of Singapore. It's also public holiday here , yay, more steemit time.

It is such a big event that the whole nation celebrate it .It displayed a stunning spectacle of military parades, multi-cultural song-and-dance performances and stunning fireworks display the Marina Waterfront every year.

I was lucky to experience a few years ago, again I got a free ticket for the performance , I felt always blessed to have such amazing people around me .(Thank you so much to anyone who have upvoted me here in steemit, I am forever grateful)


Since our tickets were the cheapest ones , our seating area was so far away from the stage.


The view of the famous Marina bay sands where it is famous for their infinity pool. Since I am familiar with going to concerts, I managed us into another seating area which is nearer to the stage. There were so many people and the usher hardly to able to manage all the people.


After a long time of entertainment. At midnight the fireworks started, it was magical. Although I have been staying in Singapore for almost 10 years, it was my first time watching the national day fireworks.





More fireworks photos.After firework displays, there was special guest entertainment from BigBang, famous korean group.



I had managed myself again nearer to stage while the rest of my friends decided to remain on their seats. It was my second time watching BigBang show and had a great time .

Public buses and trains also run the service late for the occasion . So it was convenient, but there were thousands of people everywhere. The stations were full of people and taxi are fully booked . It was not so fun to end the day.

Thank you for reading . I hope you enjoy it. As Always, all photos are my own ( unless otherwise stated), taken by sony RX100.

But it will be worth it , I am posing some tips for steemit newbie in future post, may be you can get a few ideas. Thanks for stopping by.

So you are Singaporian since 10 years, good to have someone I follow from this famous place. The last photo seems to be clicked from a close distance from the stage, so you managed to get a good seat.

I will try to post some pictures from Singapore next time..It wasn't a seat, just a standing area , pretended to act like I had a seat nearby whenever the security chased us away. Thanks for dropping by.
