And soon it will be the year of the Tiger.

I recalled that, I had taken some Tiger photos sometime in 2007 when I was on a working trip to South Africa. These Tigers were not from South Africa, but from India.

Let this year of Tiger be a year of Achievements and Advancements.

It was so crowded, despite that it was raining.

I was quite late. I managed to find a spot at Chinatown Complex carpark, where I can park my tripod.

I was a bit disappointed by the timing sequence. Just before fire cracker was finished, they started the fireworks. It was so much smoke that the fireworks was hardly visible.

Anyway, I still managed to capture some shots.

The firecrackers going off. I think I put too long of exposure. Look like burning.
