In my whole life, i've never been to any NDP (National Day Parade). But i'm lucky this year. A friend couldn't make it and had given me the NDP Preview tic! I got 2pairs. And only one sister could make it. So the other pair of tickets, i've given it away to my sis's friend, XY.

As the tic stated...gate open at 4pm and all to be seated by 5.45pm. I've reached Esplanade at 3.10pm, had KFC at Marina Sq.

Everywhere in Marina Sq, 90% are seen wearing red attire. That includes me and my sis. I was hoping that i might bumped into someone familiar. Sad...sad...no familiar face.

When the gates open, all walk in orderly manner. All bags have to be scanned by the security personnel. Drinks and any liquid form need to be declared and no canned drinks is allowed to be brought in.

1st, is to get to the correct walkway. There's red, blue, green and yellow sector. Which path to take depends on which ticket color you are holding. Mine is blue.

2nd, to get the food...given out is Sunshine butter sugar bun.

3rd, produce your ticket to get the funpack. Its a sling bag packed with biscuits, magazine, poncho, h2o and items thats needed to participate during the NDP show.

Hand sanitizer is also given out. Prob due to the current h1n1 case. Keeping clean and healthy is important.

Next, collect this booklet...

I didnt take note what time the whole thing actually started cos too busy people-watching. Here's a snapshot of whats happen during the NDP Preview...

As we watched the national flag flew pass, all were singing the national anthem "MAJULAH SINGAPURA"

As the night falls, the stage is brightly and beautifully lit...loud music, funny host of suhaimi Yusoff and Mark Lee. Wonderful feeling!

A must-have event in any NDP..FIREWORKS!

By 8.30pm, it came to an end.

Despite a weekend and after NDP, the road is not congested. Took a bus home. And as a matter of fact, the bus and the route that i took is so empty.

To all Singaporean..Happy 44th Birthday! May we live in peace and having good racial harmony always!

Hate late-comers. I dunt hv high patience level u know.

One thing that i always hold onto; wenever sometg bad happen to me, i'll nvr ask God "Why me?" Cos in times of goodness and happiness i nvr ask God "Why me?" Cos everything that happened, happens for a reason.

My favourite love quote : "Missing someone is the kind of hurt a heart should be thankful to feel."
