Spring Blossom, Autumn Sorrows

Thursday, August 9, 2007

It has been quite awhile since i last updated my blog. Anyway Happy National Day to all. This yr celebration of national day differ slightly from the previous yr. Not only is it a high rated and unprecedented event, the process of preparing for national day adds the depth and meaning to me.

This yr our unit got chosen to organised the event which debut at the marina bay. I was one of the lucky or unlucky(depends on how you view it) ones to be excluded from the actual preparation for the event. A group of us were single out to perform guard duties instead, so we didn't get the chance to perform or even help out back/front stage of the event. We had lots of our wkend burnt and clocked a total of at least 14duties per person. However, the shortlisted 8 including me were given a chance to help moving the instruments for the Chinese Orchestra from Singapore conference hall. The best part was we got to book out early than the rest. Occasionally, we got the chance to go down to marina to see how the preparation and rehearsal worked.

This year everyone is busy wif their stuff -the guys in army while the gals in uni. Thus, I celebrated National Day with my family instead. We walked all the way down from Clarke quay area to prevent potential jamming area at suntec there. After dinner we walked through the seafood walkway to camp outside the NDP. It was flooded with people. We waited for half an hour before the dazzling fireworks lit up the sky. It was beautiful. The fireworks signified the closure of NDP. We went to eat the Hokaiddo ice cream at river front" The Central" there. The shopping was newly constructed. We went ard window shopping. I saw the white shades that I was lookin for. Maybe I will drop by one of these day to get it. Anyway, it was an enjoyable dae.

Now, I hav to pack my stuff and return back to camp for guard duty.
