Sunday, August 10, 2008

I'm excited! i'm excited! Because it's the last week of school.....and everyone knows it well.... prove of RP student's self proclaimed holidays....just the two of us, Jane and me on arts marketing problem 15!!

After Dance class on thursday, half of me was hot and sticky with all the sweat, half of me feels icy and cold.... self-reproach system why i cannot forget and get over things even after the other half has clearly moved on.... I'm a silly girl.....

BUT.... when God closes a door...obviously a bad one with loose hinges, he opens a window, with the smell of roses outside....dinner at Chomps with Dearie Jo (never fails to perk me up! :) Love ya! with Mr BRIAN Lim Dao Qing (Drink Soya Sauce?!) and Paul was hilarious from the beginning till he fetched us home! :):)

All Squashed up behind! Me on Soya Sauce and Jo on me....Thank God no police on that day...

Boy, we could seriously consider joining Subaru "20 in one car" contest....we really squeezed like mad!! Poor Soya Sauce, he couldn't feel his legs when he got out of the car! i seriously should lose some weight.... working on it :X

It's in times like these where you need friends like them to cheer you up... they are like the tissues who soak up your tears.... either ways i'm greatful for the concern where i needed it most, no matter who it was...when i was sick, when i was sad.... i'll really return the favor and be there for you guys too!! :):)

I'm excited! I'm excited! Because NDP was finally here! I DID have a blast of my 2008!! (so far that is:))

We met early that day... early for once!!! haha.... preparing for NDP was the usual playing, laming, goofing, eating, drink half soden isotons that looked like yellow pee....haha!

My 2 NDP besties: Mabel and Joanne:):) What would NDP life be without them?--> Boring...Thank GOd for these 2 numbnuts!

Our Choco-Mocha ice cream lip stick before we went....XOXO

Where we specially dumped our barangs together and made special arrangements with Soon-to-be numbnut-in-law Victor CFX hehe....

Who could forget our aunties gang! They are so much fun haha with all their shared experience with life... Tampon jokes!! and hip knocking before we enter the performance arena.... fun!

Uncle Eric, whom i so happen to know so many years ago when i was so a Fat little nyumphet in St Nicholas.... haha he taught me my first slapping ladders and Mambo number 5.... the world is so small!

All rehearsing.... and three of us just didn't care :p

Donning on the macdonalds outfit...all set to go!

Time to line up to the floating platform!

On the way we heard some really funny songs like "old macdonalds and Dang wo men tong zai yi qi".... hmmmm sang by the enthu aunties whom mabel labelled as "The Minnie Mouse Club"!!

The many times pass Kenko and it's medical smell of feet......how could i forget....

Road block! Road block! I took pictures till i banged into 3 cones!

Nation queueing up to enter the performance area.... those lucky people...

Entering the backstage of floating platform!

All performers getting ready.... Jean Danker's army truck!

And then there were the Sexy leggy cheer leaders...

And the international cuties who reside in Singapore....

The Grey curtains! Just 5mm that seperates us from the performance platform and hundreds of audiences!!!...............Guess who's looking Jo ;)

Ladies and gentlemen! Introducing: Line Dance segment!! (Open curtain and FASTER RUN OUT!!)

While running out....... still managed to take a snap with my handphone camera! Could only manage to sneak in this:X

And there was it, just 5 minutes of performing.... after 6 months of rehearsals! I attended the first floating platform performance last year.. This year i'm here again... just on a different side of the stage....such an invirogating experience i'd never forget... performing on across the field for my nation fills me with such patriotic spirit.... haha who says we can't help if we're not in the army!! there's still dance!! hehe.....

All sweaty and Hyper after the performance, back beneath the platform again..... hmmm line of officers and flag beariers... wonder if Cousin Edwin and his fellow scholars were amongst them....Singapore's Elites!

There we were, hiding in the toliet and changing.... shan't explain why, least we get arrested because of my untactful words:p

We found seats at the green Zone!!

It was raining slightly... everyone had their red pon-chos on....Talk about Singapore Spirit...

We have our special pon-chos too okay.... hehz

Contingents....Although as compared to the preview of Olympics 08 opening ceremony the day before.... NDP was not much of a spectacle....but...still good:) Neat contigents....

SAF Special Accapella! Jeremy is in there! On the left of Jacintha....She's good.....He's good.....:):)

Marikita!!

black Hawks just leaves me gasping for air because their performance was spectacle! I don't know why i was still having a bantle of little girl cries and squealms when i saw them fly across since i've already seen it every week.... the atmosphere and acknowledgment that you're in NDP itself speaks vast difference in perceived sight!!

Standing to welcome President Nathan....

Three Flowers.... Under our costumes for protection from the rain....

Performance officially began... as i carefully featured NDP happenings with my trusthy Camera phone which i've been growing fond of increasing as it journys with my "experditions":)...Notice the change of the sunlight....

Finally CFX came with our bags, clothes and food!! Change! Mabel... he's good:)

Joanne came to sit with me, giving the couple a little time on their own while both of us filled the front seats with our girlish screams of excitement and photo taking....

Well then of course, what's national day without the FIREWORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Bleh... failed attempt to capture the fireworks background....

YAY!!! offically ended NDP 08.... Aftermath was so much more interactive than the year before, they had DJ spinning heats while the performers jammed on the platform.... cool!

Love birds! I wish you all the best!! Get hitched next year on National Day! Get married on national Day! Give birth on National day every year till you've grown tired and weary of family life! :):) 0908 is such a special date for you guys i'd buy the date for you if it hadn't already belong to our country waha!

And for the record............he blinks again.....waha!

Ahhh.... three beauties.....NDP Blast 2008.......:):) LOVES!!!!!!!!!!

XOXO....I know i love it.....;)
