So today (well, technically yesterday) is Show-Your-Patriotism aka National Day.
Also known as Propaganda Day.
Passed by Benjamin Shears Bridge just before the parade started. The sea of red is amazing, stretching from Merlion Park to Esplanade Bridge to Esplanade Bay to Marina Bay.
My favourite segments of the NDP??? I really really really like the fact that with the waterbody around the stage, they now can incorporate water performances into the show!!! I love the segment with all the defence vehicles, the Chinook, the Apache (sp?), the tanks, the special ops vehicles, the civil defence vehicles etc etc. I have to say I love watching this display of Singapore's military power. And those guys are very drool-worthy I must say... :P But I still like my tank technician. :)
Like I mentioned in a similar post last year (July 16), NDP is propaganda that works... But still, I would like the watch it live and on the actual day itself for once. For the boys in their no. 1 and their no. 4 AND the fireworks at its full works, if anything!!!! Will someone please get me tickets for next year (Birthday wishlist!!!!!!) please please please??
In other news, I spend a long afternoon at Katong and Marine Parade with my parents, having laksa at one of the famous stalls, and Ya Kun kopi gao (thick) for afternoon "tea" with them. I never knew that my dad likes his kopi gao. *guilty* We contributed to the local economy by indulging in clothes and toys for the youngest people in our (extended) family, we spent time looking at the latest fashion, we ate and we relaxed. :) It was really time well-spent as I realised I have not spent time with them for a long long while. *more guilty, but guilt slightly alleviated*
Now off to bed... Good night folks! :)
