Thanks for sharing a great shot! And fireworks tips!

Hi Teddy

thanks for sharing a wonderful NDP photo from the Marina Barrage. I was just across the water at Marina East that day!

We'll all keep our 'antennas' up for the latest updates on the Marina Barrage celebrations on New Year's Eve. So to everyone reading this page: kindly share with us when you get any news about the events, transport, police guidelines etc.

And yes, Teddy, your photo has got me itching for fireworks shoots again. I'd probably try out this new spot to shoot fireworks in Singapore. And if you are there on 31 Dec 08 night, allow me to shake your hand and say thank you!

Administrator's Remarks

Hi Teddy,
really really thanks for this update! I'm sure everyone reading this will appreciate your post. I've edited your post for 2 reasons:

1. You would have noticed that the original link and the cut-and-paste texts have thrown this page out of format. Therefore, editing was done to correct the formating.

2. I'm not sure whether PUB allows their information to be put here 'as is'. It might violate their terms of use.

For these 2 reasons, I've summarised the information into a point by point version.
