SINGAPORE: Thousands of Singaporeans gathered to celebrate and ring in the New Year in style.
At the Pinnacle@Duxton, it was a New Year in a new home. The skybridge was packed with new residents eager to take in the view from above. And they were rewarded for their patience, with unparalleled view guaranteed to start 2010 with a bang.
Crowds in Sembawang too had their fill of fireworks, but not before a medley of performances by dance groups and regional acts, with a touch of magic sprinkled in.
Things heated up at the Marina Barrage as well. Revellers danced the night away in a massive 12-hour party, where fiery beats helped chase away the troubles of 2009.
Sentosa was also packed with partygoers. 20,000 people gathered on Siloso Beach at five different parties, with plenty of foam to help them slide smoothly into the New Year and fireworks lighting up the shoreline at the stroke of midnight.
And it was a song-and-dance-extravaganza at Marina Bay. Singapore Idol finalists performed to a packed crowd at the floating platform, while fringe events at the Esplanade helped set the tone for a brand new year and decade.
