First thing first, Happy New Year to all AhWee.com readers! Like most of you out there, I had a fantastic New Year Eve celebration watching fireworks display at Sydney Harbour Bridge!

A little bit of information about the Fireworks – The Australian government spent 5 million AUD on the 12 minutes of fireworks and there are millions of viewers from all around the globe watching it at areas around Sydney Habour Bridge.

We (My cousins and I) were at end of the L-shaped jetty right beside Wendy’s Secret Garden (I have no idea if that’s the real name or not) which you can find from this Wikimapia link.

With Blues Point (The place I took the Harbour Bridge Night Scene shot) closed due to massive amount of people there at the time we arrived at Milsons Point train station, the jetty was the best I could find. The view wasn’t too shabby though.

As you have read, there are a 3 freaking hours of interval time between fireworks. My cousin and I decided to play “Chor Dai Dee” together. As the people around us started to notice that we’re playing cards, we invited them to play as well. They are Alex, a migrated Malaysian, Timo from Singapore and a Hong Kong Ahma(granny).

Yes rly! They jumped into the water

We played until 11:45 PM and something happened, some people decided to watch fireworks in the sea. So they jumped inside, I was dumbfounded by what Australians are capable of doing. Then 15 minutes later, the fireworks started.

Here’s a Video of the 2009 New Year Eve Fireworks at Sydney Harbour Bridge I uploaded in YouTube.

Going back home was the worst part. We were stuck inside a tunnel cramped with thousands of people rushing to the train station. This is what we call Human Traffic Jam. We were cramped for an hour there and weird things happened – Lesbians hugging and kissing each another, people playing drums to get everybody high, some drunk lady vomited in the middle of the freaking crowd, there’s another girl I saw, vomited but acted like nothing happened. I need to learn some skills from her Haha! The only thing good about Human Traffic Jam, I can look at local pretty girls.

This is what we call People Mountain People Sea

That’s my New Year Eve Celebration. How was yours?
Oh and what’s my New Year 09 resolution? Get a tripod for fireworks shots :D
