This year our NC received 2 NDP tickets to the Padang + 2 at Chua Chu Kang Heartland. Thanks to Ong's balloting, I got National Day Parade @ Padang & he had the CCK Heartland tickets.
Jiejie was happy to win a NDP tote bag thru Facebook `Friends of Yew Tee' National Day Photo Contest. There are 7 designs this year, she was excited & went out early to pick her fave design at CCK.
I can only bring meimei. It was very hot with sweltering heat when we set off. We packed our meals from McDonalds. Once outside City Hall MRT, the music were blasting with road closure surrounding the Padang. After security check & collecting our tote bags, we searched for the `Blue Sector'. Having height phobia to climb up the high steps, we sat at the 1st row.
The F1 fighter planes were thundering loud. It was scary looking up to see them diving down at a fast speed that I sat down & covered my ears.
It's a great experience to watch the parade live at the Padang. The mood is exhilarating, spectators dressed in red / white cheering loudly. Lots of colourful fireworks bursting from all over into the night sky. The whole atmosphere make one feel very patriotic & proud of being Singaporean.
