This year i got to attend the NDP for the first time in my life, thanks to K's company, who gave him 4 tickets to the actual day.

The parade started @ 6.30pm, but by 3.45pm, we were already sitted inside, holding up my brolly under the still sunny weather...

The atmosphere is so diiferent watching the parade live, where tens of thousands of people stood together and sang our national anthem, said the pledge and do the kallang wave. It's like reliving the days when we would go to the kallang stadium to watch the football matches.

It started raining an hour into the parade, and k was very well prepared. He brought out the windbreakers for us, and we put it on before we put on the disposable raincoat given.

The fighter planes were exciting, the parachuters were quite a sight to see, and the fireworks were spectacular!

If you ask me whether i would still go for it if i can lay my hands on the NDP tickets again next year, i'll say "you bet!"
