NDP 2014

This is the first time we attended a National Day Parade. Although it is only the rehearsal, we were  very excited with this new experience. In fact, it was also Mummy and Daddy's first time attending a parade. We got tickets from one of Mummy's friend who is volunteering for this year's NDP parade. Daddy thinks there might not be many chances to see a parade at the Floating Platform now that the National Stadium is up and there are talks that the Floating Platform might be removed.

We took the train to Promenade station and walked to the platform. On the way there, we were distracted with the ice cream man. We couldn't resist and had a couple of chocolate chips.

The pre parade show started at 5.15pm and the actual show started at 6pm. The atmosphere was electrifying as the whole platform was packed with a sea of red and whites. The highlights were the parachute jumpers and also the helicopter flypass as the national anthem was played. For me, the highlights were the goodies in the goody bag that was given to everyone. 

The grand finale were the fireworks and we were pleasantly surprised to see the whole works and not just a little bit cos it was just the rehearsal. I fell asleep halfway through the fireworks and only woke up when we almost got home. We had a great time and don't mind doing this again soon.
