Woots, after so long of not blogging!
Do you know Singapore Merlion has recently celebrated its 40th Anniversary @ the Merlion Park?!
To mark this occasion, STB (Singapore Tourism Board) has recently organised a 5-day lightshow performance from 12.9.12 to 16.9.12 with 5-6 shows each day.

Well, usually I'm not so into such celebration events as it always jammed-packed with tons of people. Nonetheless, this is one of the rare occasions that I actually went! To be exact, I dragged my friend and SO (due to some circumstances)...
Anyway, we went on a Saturday. We reached close to 9pm and tried to wait patiently for the show at 9.15pm. Surprisingly, the crowd (tourists and locals) is not as bad as I thought.
While waiting, it's always the usual... Snapping photographs here and there.

The lightshow performance was actually pretty good. I liked the way they used pyrotechnics, 3D projectors and sound to pull together the act. Especially the changing "animated" effects on the mascot and the idea of having dancers dancing to the rhythm on the podiums.
On a negative note, there was a slight speaker/audio issue at the initial part. PS I'm just being a perfectionist, others may find the audio perfectly fine. And I guess the lightshow would have been better if they had 2 giant LED screen instead of 1. From my position, I seriously can't catch much of the video played at all.
That aside, I must say the lightshow was really amazing. =D
