    NDP Preview Pictures= Good Memories!
    Wee~Thanks to Shrek for sending me the zipped folder! (Consisting of over 300+ photographs! How majestic! LOL) They spell BE-AU-TI-FUL! But hey, of course I am NOT posting each and every of them up. It will be exhuasting!

    But nevertheless, some were taken from Shrek's blog as I am lazy to upload again. (Thanks Shrek ah! Haha =p)

    (But please do note that these pictures I posted contain spoilers for the actual NDP!)
    But I am sure you couldn't resist the temptation to see the photos, eh? Hee Hee!

    Before going in, Shrek and I decided to take a photo of the entry ticket (blue sector) as momento:



    And the back view of the ticket: (Okay, I know we're crazy, but its a picture worth taken, okay!)


    BUT MAN, I couldn't get past the CUSTOM OFFICERS again. (If you'd been a follower of my blog, you will know about my chewing gum incident.) But fortunately, its nothing as serious this time. BUT MY MUM'S BAG WAS STOPPED AND CHECKED, a renactment of my horrible custom nightmare.=_= I guess I had since developed a phobia for custom checks now.

    When were were inside; trying to find our seats:


    One of the seats in front of me was splattered with "bird shit" :


    We waited for like more than an hour for the show to start! (But there's an advantage of going early; as we had more seats to choose from.)

    SOON, the show started, (5.15pm) with all the hosts standing on top of a small car, and waving!

    One of the lovely lady hosts, wearing a pink "space suit":


    And one of the male hosts, Adrain Pang. He was even singing on spot!


    And Shrek told me something so hilarious that I was still laughing whenever I thought of it.

    Shrek: Next time, I think the President will come down from the sky in parachute!


    And the NDP Preview begins...



    They were so neat in their postures; almost everyone doing the same action like a mirror!




    And look at this malay guy! (He somehow reminds me of my secondary school classmate, Hafiz. =_=) He was so super hyper-active that he practically jumped around, waving and singing in an exaggerated manner during the NDP Preview, especially during the singing session (Look, I am sorry if you are the guy in this photograph who is reading my blog now, but I do not have any ill intention. REALLY!)



    Fancy some parachutes? Those guys certainly did a mervellous job! Hmm, don't they have any fear of heights? I would've fainted from shock if it were me! (Haha)


    AND ONE MUST-BLOG STUFF: (Its something worth laughing. =X)

    Now you see a majestic-looking white cars driving in.. OKAY, so the VIPs must've arrived!


    And look who came out of the car!



    Another white car came by after some time, and he WAVED! (The waving part makes the whole thing even FUNNIER!)



    They aren't the real minsters, but... ....

    SIMULATORS! -MUWAHAHAHAHAA! (But those guys must've felt good being "ministers" for the several NDP Previews.)


    As this is a NDP Preview we were watching, they couldn't possibly hire the real ministers and such to attend. Thus, they got some stand-ins for them! I managed to capture a picture of the stand-ins in action. (Guy from left: Playing the role of "Mr Lee Kuan Yew". Guy from right: Playing the role of "Mr Goh Chok Tong".) But well, they do bear a bit of resemblace to the real deal, though. (AND THE WHOLE PROCESS WAS SO #(*$()#$ CUTE, especially when both guys playing Lee Kuan Yew and Lee Hsien Loong both waved at the audience! There was a laughter everywhere.)

    Ok, watched some recap of the past: (A picture I took from the main screen)

    Oh, by the way, that's a REAL Lee Kuan Yew in the picture. Not simulators! XD Haha.

    Look!! The different colours of smoke in the sky!


    Look at this heart-shape that the planes created! Isn't it amazing? Fancy drawing a picture in the sky! Haha.


    And when the sky was turning dark, the red laser started to form on the "wire gates" beside the screen in the middle:


    Balloon-like stuff floating: (Colourful at night as they lit up!)



    Random photographs of the performace:

    The NDP cap that was provided in the goodie bag.



    And this! Playing with the shadows, but total coolness!



    And some statues MADE OUT OF CLOTH! (They can extend the height and shorten it.)


    The water fountain that spouted water looked marvellous!


    The performance was such a hit:


    And here's something I know everyone is expecting:
    FIREWORKS! (Weee!) Wonderful, marvellous, splendid! The atmosphere rose to the highest peak with those magical fireworks. It looked just like the sky is raining with beautiful lights! ROMANTIC!



    One of the most brilliant fireworks that Shrek managed to capture in action:


    There was even this blown-up gigantic merlion that changed colour! Its so cute that I hope I can give it a hug...(Well, obviously, its too large for my size.)
    I used one of the pictures and set as my desktop wallpaper! No more Rowan Atkinson for the time being! Haha -X


    There, the majestic merlion that could change colour! =D~


    And lastly, the goodie bag and its contents:
    (taken by Shrek. Thanks for the trouble!!)



    See, the NDP cap even has lights when you switch on the little switch behind the flap!)

    The sponsors are so generous!


    While heading out of the stadium, I happened to see Tricia with her *ahem* boyfriend. ( Caught red-handed!) =P~ It was such a coincidence! This means we have fate. Mmmmuacks.


    Wow, I think I spent a LOT of time blogging this entry. So much that I had even neglected my poor stomach. I gotta go off for my dinner now! Hope everyone has enjoyed viewing the NDP pictures! I myself had enjoyed to the fullest that day, and I really hope that I will be able to get the tickets again next year! I'm yearning for more!!!


    LAST BUT NOT LEAST... ...




    I LOVE SINGAPORE TO THE MAX! XOXO.
