so a few friends gather up at my place and we have ourself a good barbie, a more wallet friendly BBQ this time around, i think we all learn our lesson from the last infamous 1 Million Rupiah BBQ!!
There's a big sign right on the entrance to my place that fireworks are not allowed and the security told me that the order come down straight from the state chief of police, but hey this is Indonesia, nobody give a rat's ass about what our police told us...so, fire away!!!!
No, those two were'nt fighting for food on the floor
Yummy!!!

Having our own firework fun
Then 15 min before midnite we wrap up and walk to the center piece of my complex where all the big action took place, people spending their hard earn money on kick ass firework, the rest of us who are too cheap to buy just stand there and watch.
Too bad we start leaving the house a lil bit too late, with all the time we need to navigate sea of people and cars and motors we didn't reach the center piece on time (for the countdown that is) so all the big firework was fired nonstop when we still not in the best spot to see, too bad as i was pretty keen on having a go at taking picture, its not as close a spectacle as those on offer in Sydney, but i'm not in Sydney anymore am i, just have to make use with whatever i got available.
Kaboom!!
I called this the coconut tree effect
Happy New Year 2008 everyone!!!
Happy 2008 dear!!!
