We went to countdown at Taipei 101...
Enjoy singing performance by Mayday 五月天 and some don't-know-their-names' bands and artists before the countdown event.
188 seconds of fireworks show...cost for NT18 million.... Really spectacular and beautiful!!
This is the last fireworks show shoot from Taipei 101, which means next year there will be no fireworks from that building.
The look of Taipei 101 before the fireworks.
Shows on the stage before countdown..

Weekend 15th December 2007
Sunday, December 16, 2007
Three of us, Seok Kooi, Frank and I went to Taipei Xinyi District (台北信義區) near the Taipei 101 for dinner on Saturday night. This are the pictures we took along the way. The street was crowded and the weather was nice with cool breeze.
星期六晚上，琡貴、方堯和我三個人到台北信義區，也就是台北101附近吃晚餐。以下是我們一路上所拍下來的照片。一路上都人山人海，可是天氣卻很好，涼風習習很涼快...
After having our dinner at KFC in Taipei 101, we went to the Shin Kong Mitskoshi for the Star Wars 30th Anniversary Exhibition.
在台北101吃完肯德基晚餐後，我們就到新光三越信義店去參觀星際大戰臺灣30周年展覽。
There were a lot of models exhibited in the exhibition centre. Those Star Wars fans would be very excited as all the models characters and spacecraft were displayed, including the sword. There were Star Wars models of Lego, it was indeed very impressive. Although Frank is one of the Star Trek fans, almost everything regarding Star Wars is in his fingertips... ^^
展覽會場拜了很多模型，那些瘋迷星際大戰的粉絲們看了肯定會很興奮，因為那裏有很多電影人物以及太空船的模型，還有那些電光劍。那些用樂高積木契成的模型，的確令人很震撼。雖然方堯是個Star Trek迷，可是他卻對星際大戰瞭如指掌... ^^
After finished the exhibition, we were wandering around the shopping area outside. Suddenly something caught our attention, a talented sketch artist. Wow, we saw him drawing very well for his customers. Hey, those three little girls sketch were looked like photo-taking pictures. So we decided to let him drew some character drawings for us. Only NT100 for one piece, consider cheap la... I felt akward as sitting there doingnothing for long, and there were many people gathered around admiring his drawing skill.
看完展覽後，我們就到外面的上場逛逛。突然間，一個很有天份的素描畫家吸引了我們的目光焦點. 吼，他都畫得很好叻。那三個小妹妹的素描畫，簡直像黑白相機拍出來的一般。所以我們就心血來潮叫他為我們每人畫一張。每張現場素描畫才臺幣100塊，算便宜吧！坐在那裡讓他畫真的有點不自然，因為都吸引了一堆的圍觀者，每個人都讚揚並很欣賞他的畫功。
Hmmm..., do i looked like the person in the sketch? Almost 10 years younger right?? ^^ Hehe...
Below is the sketches for three of us...
嗯.., 畫內的小子像我嗎? 好像年輕了十歲吧?? ^^ 呵呵...
以下就是我們三個人的素描畫...

Happy New Year 2007
Monday, January 01, 2007
First of all, Happy birdday to Chee How for yesterday...
Initially thought of viewing the fireworks of Taipei 101 at the roof top at midnight instead of going out for countdown, because it would be boring and meaningless going out alone just for that...
Suddenly Shobit invited me to go out with him, so five of us, Shobhit (TIGP student from India), Analyn (my MCB senior from Philipines), Teik Hui (a Malaysian friend), Miranda (Shobhit's friend) and i went out to Taipei 101...., yeah!
This was taken by Shobhit in front of the dorm before departing. From left Teik Hui, myself, Sundara, Miranda, Abi, Abi's hubby and Analyn. The next one near Taipei 101, see the crowd behind??
There are crowd of almost 500,000 people around the area to see the fire works show for 188 seconds... We took some photos while searching for strategic place to sit down... Everywhere are occupied and blocked by either trees or buildings... finally we sat down near the stalls...
There are taken is before the fireworks, means last year la...
The fireworks is very beautiful, can't imagine the fireworks presentation from the world's tallest building can be that spectacular. The night was not cold, but i felt a bit hot instead...
This is the video clip of the firework show, ops, the file 537Mb, don know how to upload... :( , so see these gif pictures la.., my coursemate Yu-Hsin forwarded to me.., may be you have to click on individual pictures to see the fireworks effect... :p
Sony must have sponsor a lot in advertising on the world's tallest building...
Finally someone done this, so click on it and enjoy the show!!!
2007最完美101跨年煙火秀！
作者：遊騎兵
連著二年都去拍101跨年煙火秀。今年是在新光三越A9館的四樓平台拍的，距離很近，視野很好。單人雙機，一機拍中景，另一機拍特寫。故意選舞曲作配樂，讓大家感受新年快樂的氣氛。
煙火秀要到現場看才好看啦!

尤其那特寫的部份，煙火爆炸、火光四射，那細膩的表現，讓人嘆為觀止！
These are the pictures taken after the fireworks...
The scarf i wear is just for fashion instead of preventing from cold... We took photos and play around after countdown...
We met with Sriram (next to me) and Leonardo (left), another TIGP student from India and Costa Rica, respectively, during the photo session.
Everywhere is crowded, we can't even move into the MRT station, so we walked along the road for nearly an hour together with the crowds... Finally we arrived dormitory at 3.30 a.m.
Happy New Year 2007 to everyone!
May we get what we want in this new year! Work hard and strive for the best!
