went for NDP preview on Saturday, was part of NDP 1999 (back in J1), but was never part of the audience. Cha managed to get tics for 4, so it was cha, wj (her bf), cheryl and me. was fun getting there, seeing huge masses of ppl wearing red. on ndp day, whoever wearing red IS going to the stadium...
i'm not gonna comment much of the parade, cheryl and i were pretty bored during the pre-parade segments and much of the contingent march-passes. boring lah, hot, kinda hungry, dun dare to drink too much water cos don't wanna go to portaloo or super dirty toilet. you get my drift... but yes, being part of the kallang wave for the first time is a wonderful feeling.
after the parade started, which by tt i mean the actual shows + colourful costumes + lights + fireworks spectacular, i started to get more trigger happy. which is good and bad, while i got pictures it meant tt i couldn't enjoy and soak in the entire atmosphere to the max. but it was nice to see all the sparkling torchlights in the dark swaying to the national day songs... i still like the classic ones like count on me s'pore, stand up for s'pore and my fave: Home (by kit chan) never fails to make me all emotional inside.
pics!!!!!

parachutes with red trailing smoke (i dunno if this is the correct direction though, it looks like maybe it's the wrong way up)
lots of ppl wearing red in the kallang stadium, the last time ndp will be held here

some b'day cake thingie, it so happened tt the middle fireworks came up when i pressed the button
my fave fireworks picture of the night. learnt the hard way not to ever use flash...
after NDP i had to rush off to zouk to meet yun, ade, del and jas... tj was supposed to pick me up at paya lebar mrt after we make our way there. alas, we took 1 bloody hour to walk to kallang mrt (too many wrong turns following wrong directions from well-meaninged matas) so it was a mad rush to bathe, get dressed, have dinner etc. then rush there b4 11 (if not no free entry). overall a fun experience, got quite high drinking long island ice tea cos i kept losing in the drinking games we played. haha. music at phuture was those cute jappy kinds, v hard to dance to but we couldn't resist coming up with kawaii moves... and at zouk it was slightly better but we were close to this gang indians so we ended up imitating their bollywood moves! and i think they caught us doing tt a couple of times (so paiseh) old liao, dun like to dance to strange sounding music, so we adjourned to checkers for supper. first real food for the day. all in all a hectic but fun saturday! so much so tt i didn't have any energy for sunday at all... zzzzzzzzz
