Five days into 2008… or the fist week of 2008 is over… although works are still piling at the office for closing accounts, etc… at least got time to edit and post some pictures today.

The first series is about the preparations for fireworks ‘gala’ at home 😀 … the fireworks launching test!

 
This is the launching cylinder made of hard paper or card-board. It is slightly more than one and a half feet tall and three inches in diameter. For safety, although it has the base for it to stand, it is better to bury the base… firm! From previous year’s experience, leaving it free standing is not a good idea. The thing which looks like a grenade with a tail is the explosive… the fireworks. Put it inside the cylinder… never put the ‘grenade’ upside-down or ‘terbalik’… else you will see heaven on earth 😀 The tail is the fuse… I think it is not long enough for those ‘kurang semangat’ LOL

 
This is how it looks like after burring some 2 inches of the launching cylinder. And the ‘take off moment’… lucky I manage to capture that… the results?… Waaaait… we need commercial breaks for now 😀
