My Best New Year Countdown
First of all – HAPPY NEW YEAR to all! Hope everyone have a good holiday and celebration.
After having my own kids, this was my first new year countdown. We went to the Desa Parkcity’s new year countdown celebration. We guessed most of the participants are non-residents in DPC, coz there aren’t any parking lots around 10pm. People parked on the roadside, and it was so crowded! I don’t believe all of them are residents there.
The best thing about the carnival here is that, everything is free. I think Digi sponsored this, coz every booth and freebies given, are printed with Digi logo.
We didn’t know what was happening in each booth, but we just queued up and joined the crowed. LOL! We played almost every games, but too lazy to squeeze to the front area for whatever clown or magic shows. Ian and Isabel each won something from the games. DH’s cousins squeezed to the front area and queued for the free popcorns. Not sure if it is due to late night and a lil hungry, it was so so so tasty! LOL!
These help a lot to wait till the countdown. My children were so tired but they insisted to wait till th firework.
And the wait was so so so worthy! I have never been so closed to any fireworks before. This one is so long, so colourful, and so CLOSED! It feels like the explosion is coming to us. Up to one point, Ian got scared and hide behind me. LOL!
In the past, we lived in an apartment facing KL center, and we could see so many fireworks until we lost the appreciation of them. But the feeling is different – it was from afar, and this one was so closed. I am glad that we brought our children there and that I didn’t miss this one. Hahahaha!



Fireworks are awesome. That’s something your kids are never going to forget.
Happy New Year mate!
The fireworks was really awesome!!! I thought you guys left before the fireworks.
I really hope they’ll have this every year !!!
Happy New Year to you & your family
