MIFC @ Putrajaya



I called Sbanboy and Musa to see whether are they interested to head to Putrajaya for the Malaysia International Fireworks Competition watching. Unfortunately, Musa has a dinner with his church buddies (including Dalantau) @ the Ampang waterfront Korean BBQ. So, happened to make arrangement with Sbanboy to head to Putrajaya to take the picture of the fireworks as planned.

I gathered all my camera gadget including the tripod. Dump it @ my car trunk and decided to head to the gym before meeting Sbanboy. Finished my workout @ Fitness first SPK, called up Sbanboy and heading towards south. When I reached the Desa Waterpark interchange, there were a lots of cars caught in the jam heading towards the Seremban Highway. I decided to exit to use Federal highway, again the jam started before the Mid-valley interchange. So i decide to call off the plan and heading back to my condo... It was a disappointed nite... :-(

Anyway, here is some interesting information regarding the Malaysia International Fireworks Competition (MIFC) Will try to arrange another trip on next weekend, hopefully we could manage to head to Putrajaya... :-)

The fireworks looks fantastic! Whenever there's a major festival or event, we always leave the car at home or drive to the nearest station and take a train down to the destination..:)

hopefully u will get to go down again and take some really beautiful pics huh! :)

Heyy!!! the view from Cyberjaya where AKon Concert took place wasn't too pleasing... perhaps we were too far away and the fireworks weren't that high enough.

Oh well... :(

ps: how did you find my blog?
