Its National Day Again!

Its National Day again....and every year I will make it a point to go down to watch the fireworks. Today, I met up with Andrew and we had a hard time waiting for the fireworks. It was super crowded as expected ... It was like blangadeshi, chinese and singaporeans unleashed!! Surprisingly, there were more blangadeshi than Singaporeans...but the rain was certainly unexpected. As far as I can remember, there hasnt been one National Day where it was raining...but today it did. Luckily it was just drizzle and it didnt last long. Anyway the show was quite nice ...even though it was quite repetitive...every year...you get the marching contingent..the "MM Lee " clip segment and then the song and dance and the fireworks...but I thought the light show at the stage was quite nicely done this year with the fountain thingy...


Ooo I got a chance to test out my new camera...finally! Quite satisfied with the photos I took today...

The parachutist...I was kinda worried for them. I thought the show will be cancelled due to the bad weather but it wasnt...Atlas..they managed to complete the routine! Bravo!

A sight at Mandarin Hotel...Tot she was going to jump...lol. I tot all hotel windows are sealed?

I love this ...it was really impressive. I like the aero display...its the most exciting part of the parade

The view of the stage from my place...

And of cos...all the fire works shots...I took about a 100 shots but only a few can make it...still working on it...lol...Oh...thx Andrew for keeping me company for 4 hours...lol. I know you must be damn bored ...I can see it from your face..haha ..isit becos you are not Singaporean? :P ..Anyway really appreciate it...you get to feel the wonderful spirit of Singaporeans ..didnt u? lol

Oh..Just sidetrack abit...when we were going back...the crowd management was quite horrible...and it was like mass orgy..then at a traffic junction...I heard someone shouting...turned out it was a guy on wheelchair...and he was shouting for pple to make way for him. Then one uncle told him off saying that its not that we dont want to make way for him but its just too crowded and we cant move either...from afar I heard that guy shouted some stuff like " I want to go blah blah"...I was thinking....wheelchair big fuck? Sorry to those disabled people..I mean just becos you are on a wheelchair doesnt give you the right to behave like people owe you a living. I have nothing against disabled people and I think we should treat them nicely but that guy attitude was just appalling. Later as he was pushing his wheelchair through the crowd...he was shouting "HELLO!! HELLO!! " ...a simple "excuse me " would be better, dont you think?
