So on new years eve there was a big party at Mid Valley City called MidZone Countdown 2008.

Fireworks, dancers, drummers, good djs and a bunch of friends - sounds like fun eh? Well it was!

We got there quite early, to collect our media tags and to avoid the jam - strangely federal highway was empty and parking was a breeze. I have a feeling the whole world went into KL city to get jammed up against each other in the various street parties.

Our good friend Dabido was there from across the ocean - he arrived around the same time as us. Dabido and the Laydees.

And yeah someone has a bigger belly than me!

It was pretty quiet when we first arrived - as we were pretty early but people started rolling in soon after.

Things started hotting up with the sexy dancers than came on (They were rather obscene!).

And the crowd started building up - with the atmosphere too. DJ Rowan was playing when we first got there and he was excellent! Rocking us with real quality dance hits from the 80's and 90's. It really got everyone moving.

So it's almost xmas - just a few days left to go...and of course rapidly after that is New Year! And the biggest party night of the year - New Years Eve..but what to do, where to go? Where's the party at?

This year the big one is MidZone Countdown 2008, held at Mid Valley City so there's plenty of space..no cramped clubs!

Can you believe 2007 is over already and it's time to usher a new year in? It's been insane!

Anyway for MidZone the headline acts are DJ Stoneface & Terminal (Germany), DJ Matthew White (Hungary) and VJ Sort (Kagawa, Japan) with some local guys like DJ Gabriel, Jungle Jerry and DJ Nesh.

The highlight of the event is the intricate fireworks display, specially choreographed to the pulsating music of the performing DJs. It will be produced by Global 2000 Sdn. Bhd., the official organiser of Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2007 at Putrajaya, making the show at the MidZone Countdown 2008 a showcase of fireworks artistry at its best!

Hope I can take my camera in!

Apologies for the lack of updates, I was away in Jakarta for a few days, then I had food poisoning...quite badly...so spent a couple of days either in bed or on the toilet.

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Anyway, a while back I went to The Eye on Malaysia, another waste money project sponsored by the G.

I went twice, the first time I conveniently forgot my tripod, so no decent shots..but thankfully there wasn't fireworks that night so I didn't miss anything.

I duly went back the next weekend, and camped out an hour or so before the show, and got what I wanted!

It was my first time taking fireworks, quite an experience.
