Beautiful Fireworks at Marina Bay Countdown 2011
Happy New Year to all readers of Spicy Mother! Hope everybody enjoys a smashing success in 2011.
I did not go to the countdown party as I was feeling a bit sick (the cold weather didn't help).
Anyway there was no lack of party revelers for the various countdown parties across Singapore.
Close to 300,000 people gathered at Marina Bay Sands for the nation's biggest countdown party. An impressive fireworks capped performances by Singapore Idol Sezairi Sezali and Taiwanese star David Tao.
Check out the video below.
