The Last Bang
"Guy Fawkes Day" signified the last bang for the group and indeed it was. Despite the persistent rain which ended up being a heavy down pour, it did not deter us from carrying on with our plans that Ronald had kindly organised for us all. At 10:00pm last Monday, it was ON! We all gathered at Ray Blank Park ready for our own fireworks display.
No doubt our "Earthshaker" box costing almost $200 from The Warehouse was of no competition for the fireworks display at the New Brighton Pier but that wasn't the underlying motive. I won't contest that spending that amount of money on fireworks is a waste of money. However, at the end of the day... it's not about the money but rather the company. I think we can all agree on that, no matter how old we are. *EviL EyEs*!
On reflection, it was nice to see almost everyone there, with a few exceptions. I must admit that I had a higher expection of everyone's willingness to get out there and be a kid again but with the crappy weather that we faced, I think everyone was very sporting. Overall, it was fun and will definitely be a memorable occasion. That night brought back a lot of memories - the many times we've enjoyed such moments, all the extremely dangerous instances where the fireworks have toppled over in the past, but more so, the joy, laughter and even screams of close friends.
The quote of the night: "Shit, the fuse so short la... Where's Seng?" said by Hock. Haha!
More photos to come. Hang tight! :)
