When you want a piece of Disneyland in Bolehland, you have got to brave the jams, the kayas & the teh tarik rivers that threaten to overflow its banks every time it rains, to get to a place where it’s set to be capital city of Malaysia. Putrajaya had a name-change from Perang Besar back in 1995 when the government acquired the land to build the megalomania of structures which turned out to be rather phenomenal as the place is shaping to be the new city. The members of Chiaroscuro, an Olympus Users Club, set out to meet at the lake opposite the event proper but none of us got to meet up because of the traffic congestion. So each of us had to make do by planting ourselves in whatever ground with a view to capture the magnificent pyrotechnics display.
Getting by a 2-hour jam from KLCC wasn’t my idea of a fun night but I got there in time to squeeze Pammobile into a tight spot, clamour my gear & tripod & dashed to the field adjacent to the lake which was about 500m away & fired away. Everyone was for themselves that night. Long live the Olympians! Blu was at the ferris wheel watching with his kids, Superman was anchored somewhere down the lake, Ciklee & LKM were caught somewhere in between, and I was positioned in a housing area!!! Team Australia performed a spectacular show with their fireworks & I will be heading out there to watch Team Japan on the eve of Merdeka. Well, hope you like my rendition of what you might feel when you live in a world full of jam & chaos & relive your childhood by being in a place that resembles your memory of Disney in your homeland.
