a stunt tt dropped from the sky upon me... knew then tt many wkends will get burned and prob nv returned... but it was exciting, i mean y not? to be in the marching contingent... even if u r a regular, i dun think u'll get to be in the marching contingents for many times... it was a rare oppotunity... fortunately or unfortunately, we didn't get to be the GOH... i can still remember wat happened when i was in the GOH for my sec school tt time...
the drills and performances weren't tt gd then... still pretty much like an unpolished gem... but the weeks went past and drills became sharper, performances more colourful and co-ordinated...
i must say i have a liking for mass displays, having myself took part in some of them during my NCC daes on SAF dae... to see the individuals putting in their effort and the final result tt follows... it gives me a sense of happiness and an impulse to be part of the performance...
the choir in particular, grew from strength to strength and it was a joy watching them rehearse in the indoor stadium while we were taking our breaks...
the whole process of ndp was quite an enjoyable ride... got the chance to see 60 000+ singaporeans gathered together to celebrate our nation's birthdae and seeing the whole stadium taking on a coat of red... also got to get a glance of our nation's leaders, esp SM Lee himself and PM Goh...
managed to catch the show segment on our way back to camp... watched the TV mobile... the one thing tt i thought was pretty prominent was the bad lighting (in my opinion)... the contrast between the performers' costumes and the lighting was just unimpressive... :p
well, we were lucky enough to get to catch the fireworks while our bus was going down kallang rd... reminded me of the fireworks tt i saw at disneyland... except tt this was nicer... quite a lot of ppl were standing in the stadium's vicinity i noted... A LOT... from outside the indoor stadium to the kallang mrt station, there were ppl everywhere...
and so NDP'04 came to an end... and it's on to NDP'05!!!
