What do you think of this year's Countdown?

Rhonda SG

The movie, ''Hollow Man'', was on Ch 5 until 11:55pm, when Ch 5 switched the focus to the celebrations going on at Mt Faber. It was a short countdown this year, compared to previous years.

How did you feel about it? Would you have preferred a proper Countdown program to be broadcast?

Did you like the fireworks that went on for 15 mins? Wink

Rhonda SG

Hmm... no response! Razz

Does this mean that nobody bothered to watch it? Laughing

The TV was on in my friend's house and we all expected more but was disappointed. Razz

I started the New Year in a great way too... free CHOYA cocktails! Mr. Green

I think for a countdown they should have a projected countdown time on a big building or wall that everyone can see. More fun that way. Just like the dropping light ball in NY Time Sq.

BTW, from my place at Telok Blangah Dr, we could see 5 fireworks: Sentosa, Harbourfront, Seah Im CP, Mt Faber and Esplanade from far. Those 3 around harbourfront were long but less impact cos they were mostly small fireworks. Esplanade fireworks are still the best.

huiz SG

Rhonda SG

This year's Countdown seems so lacklustre, going by the feedback in here! Razz

My mom's classic... when asked, she simply muttered, ''What countdown?! I was asleep!''

Shocked
