Malaysia's 1st International Fireworks Competition 2007!!

Aaaaw!!!! Guess what, it's the fireworks and all the pyrotechnic arts!!! My all time favourite and I can't believe that we're having it this year, in Putrajaya itself! My heart's racing and I've never failed to have the adrenaline rush each time I came across a fireworks performance. What's more it's an international fireworks competition! It's gotta be an awesomely spectacular and breathtaking event! And it's gotta be exciting!!! Hohoho.

Cheers to Malaysia's 50th year of Nationhood! I certainly need to be home to watch this one golden celebration (well, I mean the fireworks bit. Keke).

Some information for all who're interested in this event:

Malaysia International Fireworks Competition 2007 Putrajaya International Convention Centre (at the lakeside) will be the venue for the 1st Malaysia International Fireworks Competition. The magnificent view across the lake overlooked by the grand Seri Gemilang bridge will be the main focus for two weeks. From 18 August 2007 till 2 September 2007, Nations from Australia, Japan, Italy and Malaysia will be competing for the Merdeka trophy.

For two weeks in August, the skies over Putrajaya are to be lit up by a sequence of firework performances to celebrate Malaysia's 50th year of Nationhood. The Malaysia International Fireworks Competition, or MIFC, will be a festival of light, music, colour and culture; providing magical experiences for all that attend in the lead-up to Malaysia's Merdeka Day, Hari Merdeka.

During MIFC, renowned international firework teams from around the world will gather in Malaysia to compete in one of the world's greatest Musical Fireworks Competitions. Regular fireworks displays will be dwarfed by the pyrotechnic artistry at Putrajaya. The shows will be meticulously choreographed to music; the senses will be thrilled by dazzling incandescent displays that will dance to inspirational compositions.

For at least twenty minutes on each competitive night, the maestros of the night will amaze spectators with breathtaking presentations, judged by a panel of celebrities, who will select a winner. The victorious team will receive a prestigious award but their ultimate trophy is the audience delight!
