Fireworks at the new "stadium" down at marina square!

Tweet

I have known my wife for a long time before we got married. And I have been trying eversince to get a pair of tickets to go to the parade so that we can view the fireworks up close. This is the first time I managed to get tickets to go see the celebration of Singapore's birthday with my wife! Eventhough it is not the actual day ticket, we are still able to go see the fireworks up close! After the show, everyone was rushing to go back. Leaving the stadium in throng, the roads was packed with cars and people! We managed to get up a cab at the other side of Marina Square, the side facing Pan Pacific hotel. Take a while guess how long it took us to get around to the esplanade side in order to go towards nicole highway? A frigging 45 mins, and 11 dollars to the meter! I almost fainted! I started to grumble about the traffic condition and the cab driver thought that I was complaining about him. He got impatient and started to horn at every one who got in his way. Even then, I am still stuck in numerous other congestion on many of the other roads! By the time I got back home, the fare on the meter is enough for me to travel from one end of the island to the other! I gritted my teeth and paid for it. Sigh.... poorer by another 20 plus dollars! what would you have done if you were in my situation? Would you have gotten off the cab to avoid any further escalation of the fare and take the public transport? Or would you have sit tight and just go all the way home since you are already in the cab? Share you views. If you want more pictures, let me know, and I will try to post more pictures!
