Happy Birthday Singapore!

today chun and i watched the ndp at my place. i think i missed last year's parade on tv so was kinda looking forward to watching it this time around. i'm definitely not keen about that new dance that rui en and taufik are coaxing every mother's son to do but the song isnt too bad.

but today's show all the performers looked like they were lip-synching? yes?

the ndp was really nice to watch. i always enjoy them. makes me feel so patriotic and all and i love to sing along to all those songs since primary school, sing majulah singapura(think i almost forgot some of the words liao), recite the pledge...

aiyah but now they combine a few selected singapore songs into a short medley...haiz. dun have one nation one people one singapore, or the one that starts with "there was a time when people said that singapore wun make it..." remember that one? or count on me singapore! also dun have right? what about last year's we will get there?

actually i think watching the ndp makes me pity the people who have gotta stand on parade siah, gotta stand at attention and wait for the ministers, prime minister, president, then sing malay songs, chinese songs, indian songs, then english songs and still cannot go yet! sibeh xiong!

the mobile column also very long never watch liao. i liked it alot. all the lousy tanks and canons that we have. i think they have been driving the same vehicles(sans modifications in the early days) since our independence. nonetheless i like to watch armoured vehicles and weapons roll over our roads - as long as they're ours.

big thank you to ma and pa for buying boon tong kee back for us to enjoy! while we watch the parade uninterrupted.

all in all it was a good show. i think the crowds at yishun, tampines, jurong east, marina all fully enjoyed themselves. goodness even wave also can wave into some dunno what lousy record. pity the marina people for the long walk to the mrt though.

and guess what flew by our house today?


eh, even at home also got live ndp showcase, dun pray pray hor. chinook leh, wah lao. Posted by Picasa
