National Day Celebrations 2008
National Day will always be a significant part of my life.
It has been a significant part of my life since i was born. I remember when i was young, i never had the chance to watch the parade and only always caught it on Television with my parents. I still remember the times when i patriotically stood in front of the tv, said the pledge, and sang the national anthem.
Those were the days.
Now, national day has taken on a different meaning for me. It has become..
*blushes*
the time when dew dew first held my hand. =) hee. yes. bimbotic.
But hey, dont go thinking that im no longer patriotic to my country. I still love Singapore. Although, i probably no longer stand in front of the tv and sing the Majulah Singapura.
I feel like going deeper in the talk of patriotism. But i think, let's leave that topic for another day. Because today, i have pictures again! haha..
Pictures of the crowded squeezy Esplanade where all patriotic Singaporeans and foreigners alike have stood to catch a glimpse of the National Day Parade Live. as well as.. (and probably the main aim for all..) watch the Fireworks extravaganza.
And i know many people dont bother to read the captions below the pictures. why dont you try to make the effort to read it this time? the pictures would then hold more meaning for you. Rather than aimlessly looking through the pictures just to spot "fireworks?"
Then again, i guess if u were to read until here, you will probably have the patience to read captions.
Max brenner's. Amazingly, when we entered the shop, there were only 2 groups of customers.
And to imagine, there were like throngs of people outside squeezing at Esplanade Bay
Looking shagged after squeezing with the crowd
Finally, we get our peace from the noisy outside.
Above: Specks of gold dusted over the sky! I love that. if only those were magical powder that could grant us whatever wish we had!
above: This picture was taken at random just to test out the lightings and settings for the camera. But i was particularly drawn to it after scrolling through all the photos. I like the idea that a hand stuck out from the bottom left corner of the picture, pointing out to where the attractions were coming from. And heads all turned towards one similar direction.
Above: I like this picture as well because amidst the blurry crowd, a lone boy stuck out in the photo because he was sitting on his father's shoulder. When all were interested in the commotion going on at the attraction, this boy's head is turned down, making him seem uninterested in everything going on about him.
Yes, it can also be said as.. thinking too much about a photo badly taken. hehehe
Nice li' floats which were carried by small little boats.
Golden sparkles once again
This is how terrible the crowd is.
Above: all hands raised! just to catch a static moment of the fireworks
yet again.
A fiery ball of fire.
What is left remaining of the fireworks showering upon us
And.. This is what the crowd looks like on the first level of Marina Square after the NDP (see below)
