National Day Parade 2012 Preview

It's that time of the year where Singapore throws the biggest birthday party. She turns 47 and she's looking ever so good! If you are fortunate enough to attend the National Day Parade (NDP) this Thursday, I assure you are in for a treat.

Stephanie and myself were privileged to watch the National Education (NE) NDP Show two weeks ago. We had such a good time from start to end. It was the first time watching the parade live and it was an experience we'll remember for a long time to come. Everything about it was good. From the free falling Red Lions to funny antics of emcees Suhaimi Yusof and Gurmit Singh to everyone's favourite fireworks display. Even the ushers were fun lovin' people!

Here are some photographs from the parade...

These people are waiting too...

The Red Lions! They steal the show every year!

Another flypast...

This ruler which turns into a I LOVE SG bracelet, is in all the fun packs. More on the fun packs later in this post...

The start of the show segment. Lots of pyro and fast tempo music.

Look out for hearts, stars and cosmic shape fireworks!

 Each sector (mine was yellow) has a unique slogan on the fun pack...

You'll get a flag, torch, scarf and bandana in the fun pack.

And also these items! A book, LED clappers, stick-on tattoos, food and drink items.

My NDP pass!

If you missed this video from an earlier post, it's my 4 minute preview of NDP 2012.

I am extremely proud to be a Singaporean. This is my home, OUR home. Happy National Day to all of you and continue to make Singapore a beautiful place to live.
