NDP Preview 2007
We went to the NDP Preview at Marina Bay on Saturday evening, thanks to my Uncle who was able to garner tickets for us. Although I mentioned earlier in my blog that we did watch a session of the rehearsal, this was much better as it's as good as the real thing, plus we get the goodie bags! Anyway, the weather was very good on Saturday. Although it rained a bit earlier in the day, it was cooling by the time we went for the parade.
As usual, throngs of Singaporeans came dressed in red. Once you were at Cityhall area, you could see practically who was heading towards the Marina Bay area for the event! Well, the bad thing about the parade this year was the terrible queue at the Security Check point. Because of that, we were like stuck for about half and hour or so. Luckily by the time we got inside to this new stadium, we were still able to get pretty good seats. As I mentioned, because the weather was much nicer this day, the whole waiting for the show to start was so much more bearable! Think baby was also rather guai, as I felt pretty ok throughout the whole show :)
The preview turned out so much better than the 2nd rehearsal we saw. They had all the fireworks and pyrotechnics going throughout the show where it should be. Fireworks were also seen going off 3 skyscrapers in the Shenton Way region. Very nice :) And of coz, the parade culminated with the medley of old-time favourite NDP songs and a nice array of fireworks. So overall, felt quite happy that we were once again able to join in the celebrations of Singapore's 42nd Birthday! Hmm...sounds so patriotic...lol...
Oh yeh, and this entry officially marks a 1 year anniversary of the time we started our offline photo album on the Dayz of our Lives. If you look back in my blog's history, it's also the first entry that we had. Time flies indeed! Once NDP is over...I can feel Christmas creeping in round the corner..hahaha...sounds a bit exaggerating, but it's true! Well, ok la, don't think too far first. Maybe think about Mid-Autumn Festival first :)
