National Day Parade Preview '06
Last Saturday, I went to watch NDP Preview with tortiz, after a long long long break from not watching live for me.I used to go with my god-mother and my brother every year when we were young, because my god-father performs every year. Cool right?
However, as the years go by, the parade simply gets... BORING. Maybe it's age, maybe it's the parade.
Tortiz and I were remininsing the times when the performance will include a short replay of the history of Singapore. I distinctly remember the scene where an old woman was sobbing her heart out while carrying her grandchild. THAT, is what I call a good performance.
Two years later, they still conduct history lessons during NDPs, but this time round, they lacked feelings.
I guess someone must have realised that. Plus, shouldn't we all look forward? And guess what it turned into?
NATIONAL EDUCATION.
What else can I say? Every NDP teaches us the importance of racial and religious harmony, how we should work towards a common goal (to make a properous Singapore) etc. Not that it is bad, but the programmes should have worked together.
For a person like me who totally cannot appreciate the value of history to say that I prefer a NDP history-style, you can already see how bored I am.
And this year, a few stunts here and there remind me of charity performances on TV 10 years ago.
Watch NDP, live or on TV, and you'll see what I mean.

What a big sidetrack. All I wanted to say is that I enjoyed myself with tortiz. We're simply crazy. And tortiz, next time we'll put the tattooes on okay?! =P
Afterall, its the company that matters.

anyway i couldn't be bothered to watch ndp even, cos i thought it's just the same every year. at least. it's almost the same. there will be some singer from singapore singing, on some stage in the middle, elevated or not. fireworks is the same every year, it's just... fireworks. of course, the excitement of watching fireworks still remains even though it seems the same every year. lol. i was pretty excited watching on the news on tv when i reached home yesterday at night.
okie i shall stop. i am turning this into my blog. lol.
