Fireworks and Birthday Celebrations
Since everyone had snacks and weren’t feeling particularly hungry, we started dinner a little late after catching a screening of “Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer”. The owner and his family were busy preparing a sumptuous meal for us at the back of the home. When we headed to the meal area, the tables were all laid out with items like chilli prawns, otah, squid, satay and sambal sting ray. It looked like a huge spread but everyone soon tucked into the food and also enjoyed some bbq chicken wings that was served later.
Near the end of dinner, we even got a chance to check out some of the fireworks that could be purchased and fired off at a safe clearing near the resort. Being a little over-enthusiastic in wanting to create a mini fireworks festival, we soon found ourselves with over RM$350 worth of fireworks with some eloborate items like a 50 shot one and some nicer flares.
I managed to get myself set up with a tripod some 10 metres from the luanch pad and took some photos. Was a little hard figuring out the timing of the fireworks but eventually got off some nicer snaps with two of the sequences captured on video below. Silly me left the camera in its vertical position while taking the videos and so had to rotate them and crop it for youtube. A bit of detail is lost but am glad we managed to create a mini-fireworks festival which drew a small crowd.
The night ended (before the mahjong sessions got underway) with us celebrating birthdays for Shirley and Fuming. A huge mango cake had been brought up from Singapore and we each enjoyed a slice of cake for supper.
