Why do people like fireworks??








Can you guess what are those bright blobs in the above pictures? Beautiful? Or not... They're are actually pics of fireworks captured using my phone's camera.. Yea, makes you wonder whether these things have really been banned in Malaysia if you can watch a fireworks show right from your upstairs window?!

I hate it when people start setting off those really loud banging ones that wake the whole neighbourhood.. I mean, if you want to play and burn yr money up, fine, but at least be a little considerate and play with those that only pop once or at least don't sound like miniature bombs..

Why the government was right in banning these stupid things or at least confining them to certain areas such as countdown celebrations or such:

-scares babies
-scares cats and dogs
-scares old people with heart problems
-makes the place smell
-causes accidents
-disturbs the peace
-disturbs people sleeping
-disturbs people watching tv
-irritates me~ O.o..

I know that traditionally firecrackers were used to ward off evil spirits during the new year.. so ok lah, but don't have to set them off at night right.. and what about those other types that make a hell lot of noise and don't even look pretty.. In my opinion, if you can't afford a pyrotechnic expert who can come up with beautiful fireworks that look like footprints, or at least like little hearts, then don't bother putting up yr own firework show lah.. and NO, you wont be appreciated!
