NDP 07

Did everyone catch NDP this year? Thnk this is 1 of the most anticipated NDPs in recent years as it is the first time that it is held @ Marina Bay on the world's largest floating platform.


I rather enjoyed the parade; it's been q a while since I watched the parade. When I was much younger, it was something that I looked forward to, also because we stay near the stadium so we can see the fighter planes and the plane w the huge Singapore flag and not forgetting the fireworks. As the years went back, the parade didn't have as much awe as it did when I was younger and I stopped watching the parade, choosing to watch the fireworks outside. Caught the NDP @ Dar's place last & this year. Both times his mum cooked and invited friends n relatives over to catch the fireworks. Last year, the parade was still held @ stadium which resulted in the car parks being filled @ Dar's place and a jam once the parade ended. I remember his cousin uturned back to the house coz they were stuck trying to get out of the carpark for 1 hour!!! Gosh!!! Dar's rm actually face the stadium so if we use a binoculars... we can even see the pp @ the stadium... too bad only 4 1 year n now they r goin 2 tear dwn the stadium...


Back to this year's parade... didn't really catch the 2nd half of the parade but I really liked the display by the Navy. This being the first time the parade is so near the waters, this is also the first time they are able to put up a display. Dar esp liked the apaches (which then flew past his hse) n the chinook (is diz how u spell it?). He was telling me it is v diff for the Chinook to hover just slight above the water & thus he was rather impressed. The "underwater" performance by the primary school kids were also v cute!!! Esp the starfishes!!! heh :P And when it ended with the fireworks display and the songs, Dar n I sang alg juz for fun!!! All in all it was q a fun nite... until...


Laters in the nite, we went to watch The Bourne Ultimatum w Dar's fren and I had the misfortune to sit next to/infront of/behind a person w either body odour or HK feet!!! ARRRRRGH!!! Smelt it moments after I sat dwn and kept on catching a wisp here and there. So much so that I felt nauseous and almost threw up and I cldnt enjoy the show :( Kept looking @ the time to try 2 fig out when the show was goin 2 end and like 3/4 thru the show told Dar I wasn't feeling well. He was v nice n wanted 2 acc me 2 the washrm but I didn't really thnk there were stuff I cld puke out... juz dat I felt really uncomfy. @ the end of the show, i told Dar that I suspected that the gal next to me had HK feet coz i was looking ard and she took off her shoes! (4 a moment I thot it was myself coz I also took off my shoes but I almost always take off my shoes whilst watching movies n there was no smell!) Dar n his fren had a gd luff aft dat coz I looked so pathetic!!! Sighz... why cant these pp coat themselves w some strong cologne or perfume b4 going out???
