Happy Birthday Singapore

Happy 39th Birthday Singapore!!! This year National Day Parade will see Mr. Goh as Prime Minister for the last time. On the 12th August, he will step down and take over the post Senior Minister. Taking over his place is Mr. Lee Hsien Loon.

For the past 2 days, I've been playing mahjong. Saturday from 7:00pm till 3:00am and Sunday from 12:00am till 6:00am. So today I decided to stay at home and rest. I went to grams place for dinner.

The gang went to watch the first Singaproe Fireworks Festival at the Esplanade. The event is suppose to start at 8:30pm. In order to get good sits, we were there as early as 4:00pm. Well, we definetly got good sits cause all the fireworks were station right in front of us, so you can expect how spectacular the whole event was. The strench of Esplanade, S. Benjamin Bridge and the bridge towards Fullerton Hotel was packed with people. We are going this Sunday again.

This year National Day is quite different from the past year. There are a lot of celebration events going on. Over at the Marina, we have outdoor concert. Most of the boyband from Taiwan like 5566, R&B, Toro, Yan XingShu etc were here to perform. I guess because Mr. Lee hsien Loon is taking over the PM position so that might be the reason.

Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the National Day parade. I always love the march past and firework.

Happy Birthday Singapore!!!
