Today marks the 41st birthday of our nation, Singapore! A tiny country which had its humble beginnings as a humble fishing village is now one of the world's leading economies and arguably the best military in South-East Asia. No easy feat for a tiny red dot on the world map eh.
Anyway my family 2 other relatives managed to get hold of tickets to go to watch the National Day Parade 2006 at the National Stadium at Kallang! It's the last NDP that's going to be held there so goodbye to the stadium of memories. It's also my FIRST ever NDP! We left the house at 3pm and the parade started at 6pm. Well, Í took so many pictures so I'll let them do the talking...
Big pile of goodie bags:
Sea of red:
Future of Singapore, flying our flag high:
Target float for ''Red Lions" - parachuters:
Red Lions in the sky trailing coloured smoke:
Red lion breezing in:
Parade at rest:
Guard-of-honour (Navy):
State flag flown by Chinook helicopter flanked by 2 Apache helicopters:
Crimson red sunset (the best I've seen in Singapore!):
Night performance:
Flares out of float:
Lit performers' lamps:
Lit balloon:
Powerful spotlight:
Spotlight beams:
Fireworks!:
"Made in Singapore"
