MIFC 2008

I was there in Putrajaya International conventional centre(PICC) to see the Malaysian International Firework competition by team China,on saturday eveing the 16 August 2008.

This is the competition of fireworks from different countries as a promotion by the Minitry of tourism, malaysia.

Countries participating : Malaysia, China, Australia, Canada, Spain.

Right from 7Pm onwards there was more crowd to wittness the firework in the dark sky.Some just parked their cars and having makan(food)at the entrance, some took the free shuttle bus to PICC and stood at the entrance to see the show...its free!

But there are tickets to see this firework show from inside the beautiful PICC building which has chairs to sit and watch the show...but the cost was RM63/- for adults which is roughtly around Rs.800/-

The show started at 10PM instead of the scheduled time 9.30PM which made us to wait for another long time. Its a 30mts shows by team China-Liuyang QingcaoFireworks Manufacturing Co Ltd

The Theme is "THE STORY OF COWHERD AND WEAVER GIRL", its a fairy tale of how the "Milky Way" was formed, which had a romantic story of Niu Land and Zhi Nu as the fireworks’ background had the chinese traditional music.

My efforts to capture it in the form of viedo made my batteries weak!So very few photos, moreover there where professional photographers with long tripod ready with their eyes fixed in the views for a long time/ some where remotely controlling their cameras!!!giving ametures like me less chance/place to take photos...anyway managed to catch some shots check out in my photoblog!!!

Beautiful colours!Automatic lauching of the fireworks continues to blaze our eyes with a theme that tells about the love story was all good.

But missed our expectations as we wanted it to be more delighted..big..with some images/some words in the sky...more colourful then that of what we use to see it in the New Year Eve or for marriage or for the Perumal temple festival!

Moreover last year itself we have seen more such fireworks from the "Eye of Malaysia" promotion directly from my condo balcony!!!
