Red and White

Yay thanks to lovely Joanne, I've got the chance to attend NDP show this year! Met up at City Hall MRT at 3.30pm, before walking around Raffles City, getting our dinner (Subway) and used the toilet before making our way to the floating platform!




(Trying to step some artistic photographer using my lousy phone camera HAHAHAHAHA)

After adventuring around with our ndp fun pack, when I saw the tattoos, I immediately slapped Joanne on the thigh and went, "OMG JO WE SHOULD TOTALLY DO THIS.", with the tattoos on my other hand. Because honestly, if you don't use it on that day itself at that venue, YOU WILL MOST PROBABLY NEVER TOUCH THAT THING EVER AGAIN. I mean tell me, who the hell puts Singapore Flag tattoos on them on a random day?????

And so.........

TADAH!!!!!
 

The motivators were distributing balloons to the kids and I guess maybe because I kept staring at her so she asked me if I want one too. HAHAHAHAHA everybody loves balloon animal structures!

 
Having our dinner before the parade starts.

  

  

In the midst of the selfie and all, I turned and saw this photographer taking pictures of us so I nudged Jo and we both smiled for the camera and suddenly BOOMZ, 6 other photographers appeared from idk where and they were all just like, "Look here!" "Okay good, smile!" We were so shocked honestly. But it kind of felt good? Idk I felt like I was some celebrity HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! But quite stress also, because even when we were eating, the camera was on us and we were not sure if we should smile for it or pretend we didn't see it. HAHAHAHAHA!

       

 

 

 

 

Watching the parade actually makes me miss NPCC like really really A LOT. I'm so thankful that Jo actually knows like some of the beat because she has encounter them before because I was like saying the commands when the commander was executing it hahahahaha. Sorry once a npcc cadet, always a npcc cadet.

Halfway through the parade, it started drizzling. Jo told me to wear the poncho but I didn't because I hate the feeling of ponchos! So yucky and sticky. People were starting to leave but we didn't! BECAUSE HOW CAN YOU LEAVE WITHOUT SEEING THE AWESOME AND PRETTY FIREWORKS?!!!!!

Honestly, a reason why I really enjoy attending NDPs is because that is probably the only time you see Singaporeans united, and the only the time they show that they are proud to be a Singaporean. And why do I say that? You see everybody standing up singing the National Anthem, saying the Pledge together as one, I just find the sight really amazing and sweet.

And I find that this year's NDP is actually more fun because there isn't any NDP Song this year but there were remix of old NDP songs and I LOVE IT because I know the lyrics and can sing along with it. (:

Last but not least, the FIREWORKS. Forever and always my favourite.

 

I think this is the first year they actually have the water fountain thing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
After the show ended, because the lighting was really good and we were waiting for the crowd to disperse first so of course.......... SELFIE LA. Hehe

We were actually trying to show off our face tattoos. HAHA

Jo cannot do the pedo face HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

 

 

Went home with all the tattoos on my face and woah, people were looking at me like I'm some alien. mehhhhhh that sucks. But nevertheless, I still had funnnn!!! Of course, many selfies before washing away the tattoos hahahhaaha typical girl here.
