May 2009 Be Known As The Year I Celebrated My Birthday With Fireworks

It appears that I mostly post videos of fireworks. This is what happened when I decided to celebrate my 25th birthday by setting off a bunch of fireworks. It drizzled all night, but we wouldn't be deterred!

We started the night with some easy ones - thunderclaps and dragon eggs. We managed to get off some trilogies. Couldn't do a 4some because there weren't enough lighters. Or players. Turns out my friends are scared of loud noises. I know.

After we got tired of waiting for the drizzles to stop, we brought out the 3 big boys: the KLCC boom booms. The first was easy - it's like a tube so you just set it on the floor, light it, and get 50m away (That's what the instructions said. For serious.) That was awesome but my cameraman was crap.

Then came the second - a big rocket-like thing that needs a firmly attached stick to hold it steady. We didn't have one so we settled for a not-so-firmly attached stick. Bad idea. It set off and went horizontal - right into the tree. A KLCC boom boom went off in my backyard. Literally, in. Fucking awesome. I will remember that sight for as long as I can. The following is the video that Kuntum took unsuccessfully. Pretty fucking funny la if you ask me.


Needless to say, we didn't try the third one.

I hate nights like these

I wonder how my life would have turned out if I weren't so "strong" and so "capable". Maybe I wouldn't be tossed aside because "I'll be okay. I'm so strong. I can take care of myself." Maybe the people who I need to take care of me wouldn't have left me. Maybe I wouldn't be such a bitch or escape so much because every night I have to drown out the hurt. Maybe my life would've been so much easier.
