NDP Misc

During Ndp, the weather can be quite hot and during those tiny weeny short breaks, I was able to capture some moments that I would like to share so enjoy.

NDP 2007 Fireworks

In every NDP, there is also the most anticipated programme - Fireworks. This year, its even better so here are the harvest.

NDP 2007 The PARADE

Here are more stuff from the parade:

Pre-show NDP 2007

Before the parade there were some pre-shows and motorbike stunts to keep the spectators busy. Here are some of the pre-show stuff:

NDP 2007

Finally its that day again when people turned on their TV at 6pm to catch NDP while eating dinner together or having a family gathering. This year, I'm lucky to get my hands on the actual day tickets to attend the parade. Decked in red & white, I was surrounded in a sea of reds at Marina Bay and I do feel that most Singaporeans or people living in Singapore celebrate National Day only if you're intending to watch the parade. Its the hype of the parade that draws people to it and I believe that each Singaporean should at least go and watch it live once in their lifetime. Well, to cut the crap, the parade was kicked off with some motorbike stunts and singing followed by the actual formal marching parade. The Marina Wave was also invented to replace the Kallang Wave. The main item of the parade must be the Dynamic Defense Display by Mindef as it truly showed people what they were capable of doing in terms of defense for Singapore. Patriotism was everywhere when the anthem was played out and the pledge was read out. There were stellar performances on the creation and thrive of how Singapore succeed as a nation. To end the event with a high, all the performers gathering on the floating platform to sing before the fireworks finale took over. On the way home, I felt that it was rather the best NDP I've ever witness, maybe because I saw it live, but the whole segment was so different from the previous NDPs I've watched on TV as well the one I became involved in last year. It was fresh and extremely entertaining. Kudos to Sembcorp and the Engineer Formation and the rest who made this parade a success and hopefully NDP will forever be an event worth waiting for every year. Ps - pictures will be up soon as there are too many haha.

Pre-NDP 2007 Celebration

Was at Marina Square as early as 11am for NDP 2007. Had lunch at Marina Square Seoul Garden even though it wasn't my idea and I didn't pay for it haha. It was a treat in exchange for the ticket haha. I was kind of sick of eating Seoul Garden as it wasn't even an authetic Korean BBQ place but XJ said it was for poor people so I guess I had to compromise. NDP entry will be coming soon.
