NE Show 2008
met up with mabel for the once a year event- NDP! was kind of worried as it was raining quite heavily when i am booking out of camp in the morning, thinking its going to be shits if the rain continues till evening. but wells, lucks with us as usual and the weather is great by the time we met at 4!
kind of like this location for ndp too.. the skyline matches greatly with the stage and the fireworks.. think its going to be even better a few years later when more building that is being built now is done!
When we were making our way to our green sector seats, suddenly a Malay man stopped us and asked if we were a couple!? We shook our head and answered very quickly No, thinking that he was trying to interview us or to get us to play some games.
Actually he was asking whether only the two of us were watching the parade coz he had 2 yellow sector tix and 2 green sector tix and he would like to swop tix with us. Haha!!! What a misunderstanding! It reminds me of last year, when Mr Ang and Mrs Mo thought that Mabel, Boon, Sally and I were dating couples, haha!.
Anyway, we were very lucky, the yellow sector is right infront of the main stage! We got a very good view of everything from where we were seated.
We also get a great view of the combined choir, finally back after a one year hiatus! Kept feeling something is missing in its hiatus. haha. and the photos montage shown on the screen in one of the segment is great! the color, the angle, thought both of us thought is kinda propagandaish. haha!
This year, the best segment is the aerial display by the Black Knights! The moves they made were graceful and the stunts heart-stopping! So dangerous! Held our breaths real hard at some parts!
And we caught sight of Zoe and her son, Braydon! They must be there to watch her husband's performance, he is one of the pilots. Zoe is very pretty and her son is so cute! Totally not auntish lor. I will continue to support her. Haha!
Erm.. Fireworks is my fav as usual.. i can't explain it. the special meaning that it holds for me, that i will only be the one who knows it. =(
This time one is not that fanciful.. maybe its cos that its the first NE show.. Hope that it'll be better in the weeks to come and the finale will be a great one!! But no doubt, it still made a climax for the evening!
National Day has kind of not as "re nao" as last time liao.. the kind of publicity it has and such.. i remembered when i was younger, the tv and radio will start to air all the songs and videos for national day! this yr, the theme song is not even out and this is the first time i am listening to it. hai..
But still... Looking forward to the more coming weeks of fireworks! Woohoo!
