We didn’t get the National Day Parade tickets. The next best thing though was to take pictures of the fireworks display, which we did just now. I took a total of 90 shots, most of which turned out pretty OK.
A few friends and regular visitors to our blog hosted on Yahoo here have remarked that there’s been a few database connectivity issues with the site over the last 2-3 days now. I haven’t quite figured out what’s causing those
