I just came back from celebrating the Nation's birthday at my grandparents place!!
We sat in front of the TV watching the NDP.
It is the same as every year where there is the flypast and the marching in of the contingents etc...the usual, but one thing different was that this year it is at the padang! And there were 4 other places, Tampines, Jurong East, Yishun, Marina South celebrating along! We joked and laughed throughout the show coz of some internal jokes!!
At about 740pm, we went downstairs to see the tanks passing by. It was super nice!! Not many people knew about. We knew coz of my wonderful mom who logs on to NDP website now and then and found out the route of the tanks they took. There was also the tracking system and we found out at which certain time the tanks were at. So, when the tanks were at Eunos area, we scarificed the TV performances and rushed downstairs to have a look at the tanks!
Our timing was perfect! We didn't have to wait too long before we saw the 1st motorcycle pass us! The military tanks passed us and the defence tanks and the police force followed by the civil defence! We stood there and waved and shouted cheers for them! The NS men in the tanks shouted back! And waved! It was super fun noticing their cool faces and their joy when we supported them!
After which, we hurried home to see the fireworks!! This is the 3rd time i am watching fireworks this year!! It was just magnificent! The 2nd fireworks today were much better! They were very high and the whole sky just filled with sparkling lights! There were so many shapes!! Spiralled ones and some were like happy faces! May be my own imagination...
NDP this year has just been great! I love Singapore!! =)
