NDP 07
I went to the NDP yesterday courtesy of tickets from Weijie. Haha. we were supposed to meet at 230, bt zhiwen came at ard 4+ cos he overslpt:| We made our way to the seating platform. It was quite crowded, thr were many ppl lor. We managed to gt 2 red, 1 green and 1 orange goodie bag. haha. Obviously the green went to bf. Surprisingly zw wanted orange, cos i thought orange kind of sucked. Hm. Then we went up to take our places. Saw a primary school clsmate, Eugenie as an usher. I think she didnt recognise me le, she only recognised zw.
Hm. The goodie bag contained a clapper cum star-shaped lightstick, a handheld mini fan which could make the words happy bday spore, tis cute hat wif blinking lights (mine was a fish) national flag, food and some drinks.
I thought the parade was damn awesome. starting wif the falcon fighter jets, the cannons, the apache helicoptor, chinook helicoptor, howitzer tank, and even the coast guards were very cool. I liked the parachuting red lions. Haha, initially i thought they would miss the platform, then they suddenly burst down the landing strip thr, very exciting. they parachuted again sometime at night. its very spectacular la. i didnt expect them to come again another time.
The performance were not bad either, though i thought the military show was more action packed. haha. They made used of lots of lasers and lightings. But my favourite part has to be the fireworks. I think this is the best one i ever seen soo far. Perharps it was cos i had a better view than previously. But i thought that tis time thr were new stuff, like fireworks coming off the top of some buildings. Its like my whole peripheral vision were covered with sparks. Initially i thought the fireworks ended, but then they came on a 2nd time. What a pleasant surprise. At the end of the parade, i felt as if it was like a dream. Too good to be true.
I think the organising committee did a fabulous job this year. They made full use of the landscape, integrating the sea together with the performace. I am really lucky to be able to watch the NDP live tis year.
After tt, we realise tt our bags could be taken apart, and fixed with different coloured parts. haha. We started to exchange the pieces of strips which make up our bag. Hm. Bifang was soo funny lor. She ended up with a Cameroon/senegal Flag. I had sort of an Italian/Hungarian flag. Hai, but i realised afterwards tt the velcro had sort of damaged my shirt, as i think the materials sort of have a negative effect on 1 another. Haha, but nevertheless, i had an enjoyable night, and felt really proud to be a Singaporean.
