NE show 2

Once again, Sat came and went. And went along with it is NDP NE show 2. As per normal, we are at Marina Bay.

And for me, this is the first time i am at Marina Bay and not Marina South. So, it's kinda eye-opener for me to see the rehersal again with 27,000 little kids.

And those kids are frisky. They scream at their top of their voices, shouted till they are hoarse, waved thir clappers, flags non-stop, dismantling their goodie bags, and trying to put them back together, (their arms must be aching now), and they are scared of the 21-gun salute.

What happens when the arty (21-pounder guns) are firing? Soldiers will drop flat on the ground, while the kids will just cover their ears.

Good to see the kids and their teachers having a good time.


When you see the whole brunch screaming, laughing, waving their little flags, you just can't help smiling to yourself.

But as the time goes on, we do get tired, and occasionally, when time permits, we do take a tiny weeny little nap.


Even though it's not comfortable at all.

And we all gets tired, especially when the event ends.


And surely, nothing beats the greatest joy of going back after the clearance to stand-down has been given.


I arrived home a very tired man.
