Summer holidays Part 2

We had big plans last Thursday. BBQ followed by watching fireworks from the hill top which was 10 mins walking distance from the BBQ venue. Little did we expect dark clouds to gather as we drove towards the hill. Thunder and heavy rain followed soon after. Our hearts sank as we thought of the fireworks show which might be cancelled.

Nevertheless, we proceeded with the indoor BBQ, praying for the rain to stop soon.


Let`s forget about the rain and BBQ!


We were in luck! The rain stopped and we were told that the fireworks show will be held as scheduled. Shun went stones picking with grandma while the others enjoyed the BBQ.

The kids finished dinner earlier and went up the hill to secure a good viewing spot. Soon we received a call from them saying that the mountain top was foggy and they couldn`t see anything.

Many people were leaving when we reached the hill top. They told us that the fog was thick and we should give up watching fireworks from the hill. The show had begun but we could only hear the loud blasts of fireworks. Everyone was utterly disappointed but our family didn`t want to give up waiting for a miracle to happen.


We were in luck for a second time! The fog started to clear up after 5 mins and we finally saw the first glimpse of lights. The crowd went crazy cheering, clapping and shouting for more!


Our second blast! The hill top offered a great view of the fireworks and the city skyline.



First experience for all of us to watch fireworks from 939m altitude hill.


Magical even in cloudy weather!


Beautiful finale. Definitely an unforgettable experience.
