Hello everyone! It has been quite sometimes since i blogged here.. haha.. well, today(29/07/06) I went to the kallang national stadium with minwen and the another friend to watched the NDP preview. There is only one word to describe,it's AWESOME!! It was really a different feeling than you watched it at home from ur tv. hehe.. Moreover, this is the last year that the NDP will be holding in Kallang Stadium.

And being the kiasu Singaporean, I actually got 3 wristband from those motivators who were supposed to lead us during the parade, 1 sponge ball that printed NDP 2006 and 2 handmake twisted balloons in the shape of doggy from them cos i had answered their questions correctly.. haha.. But i didnt keep those balloons la.. i gave it to a kid and another to my friend's sister.. haha.. All these little things might sound childish, unattractive to u and u might gave a "chey!". But its the involvement that counts ma.. haha.. =p
Anyway, the show started off with the combined schools choir singing first and so on.. (watch it on 9th Aug 06 urself k.. hee..) And i actually liked that part play by the military band from Deyi Secondary Sch. The way that guy tossed and turned the stick high up in the air and catched it was spectacular. Everything started to heat up as Gumit Singh spilted the stadium into red and white team and started telling us to scream as loudly as possible and do the kallang waves and see which side would won. And as the last ray of sunlight was gone, the stadium was immediatedly surrounded by thousands of dancing stars as everyone switched on their touchlight and waved.. oh my, it was really beautiful as u see across the stadium..
This year, I think that they had also arranged for the fireworks to be shoot at almost every interval of the performance, cos the whole night, me and minwen was wowing over the beautiful sky..lol..think everyone was the same la huh..haa.. Oh ya, btw the fireworks were so close to us that i tot that it would fall onto me lor..lol.. Anyway, the night became romanti as Gong Si Jia, the singer who is singing this year ndp theme song started singing & rising in the middle of the stage in the middle of sea waves form by hundred of ppl under big pieces of clothes in the parade sq. Can u imagine the stadium filled with thousands of dancing stars( waving touchlight), beautiful song and awesome fireworks?? lol.. it was really wonderful and minwen had even felt herself being in the middle of a fairy tale..lol..
Okie, maybe i had been over exaggerating by abit. But i think this year they had done an excellent job. Everything goes accordingly, we doesn't have to wait very long for free ferry bus, everyone got a seat in the bus, we doesn't have to wait very long to be sitted in the stadium. Given clear instructions where to get ferry bus back home. No complaints, jus wanna say we really enjoyed ourselves!!
