Had a national day celebration HERE yesterday!! :) My friend were asking me to go down to campus to watch the parade together. but it's far and cold. then i realised my hall has a similar event!! so i went down with my non-singaporean friends :)
hai but i forgot to bring camera!! so no pictures!!
Lots of people prepared food. It was supposed to be a potluck. People cooked nasi lemak, pandan cake, oneh oneh, mee siam, curry chicken, hokkien mee and a lot more. i think they are great!! dunno where they learn how to cook all these chim stuff.
I went in and started eating. It was a warm feeling to see so many singaporeans gathered in a cosy room, eating homecooked stuff. Those NDP songs were being played in the background. I had goosebumps when "home" was played. It reminded me of singapore so much. It suddenly struck me that i miss singapore very much. haha. maybe i miss singing the song to people in singapore.
Then the parade started. I have not watched the parade for so many years. Normally, i will be out or sth. This year, the parade is boring as usual. No offence to the participants. I mean the show is great but not my cup of tea. Esp the display of millitary power in the first part. I think they should scrap it off. People died from it a few years ago. They should divert precious resources to catching people like mas selemat, instead of putting up a show.
My non-singaporean friend feels that our NDP is like clubbing. I think she has never been to a club tho. hahaha.
It was a very different NDP for me. woo i feel that i have just written a primary school essay titled "My national day". Hope i will get A for being so frank.
