Nothing is better than an explosive way to spend the weekend at the Malaysia International Fireworks Competition that is being held at Putrajaya. For this competition, teams from Australia, Italy, Malaysia and Japan will be competing against each other. Thanks to Peggy for fetching us there for the show. For those who wanna get there to watch the show, you better get there as early as you can. Being late will result in you being stuck in a jam or getting a bad spot as the authorities may close up the roads at the event area 1hr before the show starts. We were lucky though, being able to get there, and parked at the wrong place before driving off to another area before the event started. I think we are the last few ones who made it to the closest spot before the roads are closed.

We double parked at a spot near the fun fair next to the Golden Bridge in Putrajaya. The Golden Bridge is where the event is held. It was fairly a good place to get photo shots of the fireworks but somehow, its too close for me as I wanna get the full view of the light display. The best place to shoot the fireworks is probably at the Putajaya International Convention Centre, which is located directly in front of the bridge. Here, one can get a full view of the fireworks display but you would have to pay at least RM30 to be there. Where we were is fully FOC.

The event started of at 10pm where the fireworks from Team Italy were let off in sync of the music being played. Wonderful! Besides the view, also loved the smell of burnt sulphur from the fireworks. Noticed one or two planes passing by when the fireworks were lit up. Wondered how the view would have been like from up there in the plane. The amount of fireworks let off was so intense, I doubt any bird would survive if it is stupid enough to fly through it. The event lasted for a mere 20 mins before we had to rush back to the car, join in with the traffic jams and reach home. Overall, GREAT! Hoping to go for another round of this, which would be performed by Team Japan. Heard that the Japanese team are the best, that is why they are set to compete on the last show.
