Getting excited about 9th August?
Over the past few years, my interest in the National day parade hasn’t really been the strongest. Most of the time we (the family) would spend it by catching the parade on the tv but have never gone to attend the actual parade. However, after catching the rehearsal on 30th June, I’ve been thinking a lot more of going down on the actual day to catch the sights (and sound) from nearby locations. Yh sent me a list of possible places to go to
Esplanade waterfront
Esplanade bridge
Merlion park
One fullerton
Also, just saw the encore of “Parade on the Bay”, a one-hour documentary which takes a look at how a new venue for National Day Parade 2007 was chosen and the work that went into making it a reality. Was quite interesting to see how the different government agencies and companies came together to put the whole event together as hosted by Daniel Ong.
Looks like Yh and myself should be heading down to catch the sights and hopefully get a nice spot to take some snaps. Wonder if I’ll meet Bqube (just know him from Flickr) who happens to be studying in Singapore and wanted to experience the moment too. Will be looking forward to the fireworks too
