ndp it was a tradition (ok maybe not tradition coz that implies a long period of time probably dating back to my great-great-great-grandparents... let's say practice) to go to my maternal grandma's house to watch the ndp... so it's kind of like cny when the whole family comes together, my aunt will cook a big meal & we'll eat while watching the parade... however, this year not only was the 42nd ndp's location was changed, the usual family gathering was also different... my aunt (the fab cook) was warded hospital earlier this week, so she was unable to do too much physical work aka cooking.... and my other cuz had their paternal side come over from overseas, so they had to entertain them... and the most pissing thing is that... i couldn't SEE the fireworks coz of the change in location (my grandma lives near kallang)!!! well, let's say the ndp-watching didn't go off to a great start... since i didn't really feel all that hyped-up... i went to play some shooting game & need for speed carbon (ya, just so u know, i lost both)... after playing for quite some time, i realised i HAD to watch ndp coz it's an exercise for one of the mods i'm taking this sem, so i managed to catch half of it... the only highlight of the whole ndp was... u know that guy who was wearing all white with a train (?!? not even sure what he's trying to get across... a bride?)... ya the only highlight was the car he entered & exit in.... oh ya, that & the clementi pri sch kids who kept waving at the camera during that segment... i kept laughing, they were so cute... i kept waiting for the fireworks to appear... everytime i tot it would start, it didn't (u know when the whole area dimmed the lights, u tot it's going to kaboom)... the song that came just before the fireworks was so long winded, it just kept on going & i was waiting & waiting for the fireworks... and when the fireworks finally came... let's just say they look better on tv... give me back my national stadium!!! FOOD FOR THOUGHT: did u notice that the only nice national day songs are the ones sang by kit chan? did u also notice that during the senior citizen's performance... u couldn't even see any of them with white hair? what's with all those symbols & stuff? i never could understand what each individual performance's supposed to mean... oh ya & lastly... that was a really good advertisement for go fly kites pte ltd...
