City of Possibilities

This is my third involvement in this year NDP. The first time i was back in office, the second time it was at National Stadium before it was closed. This year, i came to a brand new venue-Marina Bay. This year's NDP is just like any other year. The only difference is the venue and more water activities. I am glad the committee did make good use of the river behind the floating platform.

I was running up and down esplanade as well as the grand stand. Woo.. My legs were so achy. By the time the parade started, i almost fell asleep!!! I guess it must have been too tiring to run ard. The crowd was huge. It started from 1pm. People were already at the esplanade drive bridge, outside esplanade. Most were there for the fireworks. The place became a mini picnic ground. Very fun!

As the night fall, everyone's mood change. Crowds were cheering! Oh yes. I realise there are lots of foreign workers too. Know wat i mean, yep, the contruction workers from the region :P I was at the esplanade bridge again. Poof! Road was blocked and hundreds of pple were on the bridge. Woo... Reminded me of the millenium celebration we had during year 2000.

I felt patriotic only at the time when the national anthem is played. It was pretty emotional for me, as i watch the flag fly past with our financial district as the backdrop. The " I Love Singapore" just got into me! Ha.. However, no one can still beat ah jie Kit Chan's national day song "Home". That is still the best NDP song that i love even today. It is the only song that will make me emotional! I love Kit Chan! She's always the DIVA!
