NE Show

   Having already attended the national day parade since I was four, I was therefore no stranger to the annual parade myself. However, Singapore's 44th parade differed greatly from the past parades I had attended. We were 'attacked' by 'terrorists' in speed boats who left a 'bomb' and a 'mine'. However, the threats were quickly neutralised by the Navy and Army. There was also a ten-part story about Singapore's advance in the fields of tecnology from the day Singapore was discovered to the present. My favorite performance was the RSAF helicoptors and the red lions aka parachuters. The 'EYE' promised to switch on the 'air-con' at night, but in the end, we got more than we asked for. Just as the celebrations were ending, the weather worsened form a slight drizzle to a downpour, which then advanced to a thunder storm. The whole place was flooded. We never saw the conclusion of the show.=( To make things worse, a few of our classmates were 'lost' on the way back. Thankfully, they were only with Mrs Sia. Despite the terrible weather, the show was rather enjoyable.
