the Singapore Kallang National Stadium. that's right people.
yesterday, 29th July 2006 was the National Day Parade '06 preview. i went!!!! woohooo!!!~~~
actually i didn't want to go, but since i took MC off work, so i went with my little sister. got the tickets because my sister was performing in 1 of the performance. but only got 2 lah. my parents didn't want to go, so in a way, i was babysitting my small sister for the whole of the later day.
1 word to sum it all up. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! nono, maybe MAGICAL. did the Kallang wave!!!! i got the video!!!! but my favourite part of the show; the fireworks. and 2nd favourite, the jet flypast. the roar of the engines was like music. IT ROCKS MY SOCKS!!!!!!!!! i took a video and lots and lots and lots of pics. my 3rd favourite was the parade. wish i was the one commanding the parade. but i rather be the pilot of the jet plane for the flypast.
i sang the National Anthem for the first time in 2.5 years with the Chinook helos flypast toting the State Flag. recited the pledge at the end of the parade. loyalty and pride to the Nation's 41st birthday. Happy 41st Birthday, Singapore.
*salutes as three F-16 Falcons flypast followed by the 5 A4 Skyhawks doing the split manouvre*
oh and there were AH-64 Apaches helos!!!!!! the reason why i want to become a pilot. flying is sooooo cool lah!!!!~
okay, the parade, nothing much to comment, though i like the 21 gun salute. from where i was seated, i had a pretty good view of the parade and everything. the goodie bag was quite good actually. but the thing was, i don't know how to say it in English, "Ader minyak kapak dalam beg. ader ker tak merepek tu."
there were some evening performances, the choir was nice. the hosts were quite entertaining. only that the atmosphere was a bit odd. because it was not the 9th of August. but i liked the fireworks. then at about 9pm, the parade ended.
now, getting out of the stadium. human sandwiches galore with sweat toppings with the aroma of body sweat. oh my gosh. totally wasted. by the time i got out and started walking out, my whole body stank of sweat. then boarded the shuttle bus to Aljunied MRT which took almost forever for the queue to turn around. waited for how many donkey half an hours for bus 40 to go to Bedok bus interchange, switched to bus 28 to go straight home. took quite a while.
now for the pictures.........i will only upload a portion of it here. well maybe 1 or 2.

hanabi!!!! kirei desu yo ne.

Majulah Singapura!!!!!!!
'ganbare yo Shingapooru!!!!!!'

more hanabi!!!!! kirei dana..............
now, these pics are mine. i don't mind you people taking it, but please give me credit. thanks.
so anyway, for today, i went for my last Advanced I Japanese class. next module i'm taking next year due to OSIP. i'll miss about 2 levels. nevermind, if cherry can skip to JLPT 3, i can skip to JLPT 2!!!!! muahahahahaha. or so i think.
then dinner time, i went out with my family to Sakura Thai-Chinese Restaurant at Simei Eastpoint. actually the food there is nice only if you go there once in a while. took the MRT then bus home. Sakura; cherry blossom anyone? i couldn't help but give a chuckle. or two.
it makes me feel that i'm eating cherries. eat and eat and eat and eat and eat. eat la. never eat then later regret how? so must eat. *totally random; Math.random*
so yeah, that's a weekend for you. though, maybe i might get tickets for the actual NDP '06. who wants to go?!??!?!?!? be nice to me for this coming week kkkk?? hehz. since my sister already went, if i got the tickets, i got no one in mind to ask along actually. so anyone who loves to wear red may want to go i guess.
i want to sleep already, so early at that.
good nite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
