Pre preview of NDP 2010~~!

One random day Baoli asked me to accompany her to NDP preview, thinking i will reject hr. but i excited say YES!!!! cuz her younger bro was involved in NDP parade n was given 2 tix.. i have been wanting to go.be it a review or actual..never been to 1 bfore n i know the atmosphere live is never the same when u watch on tv.which i skipped live telecast every year cuz there is no atmosphere at all..

So i am very looking forward n she told me must even wear white n red..gosh...i am officially a betrayer to my mother country..=x=

well felt that God gave me a wonderful present after so much ordeal has happened recently..tis kind of event nvr fail to brighten up my mood...n i get to go with baoli, my BBF!! wow we knew each other for 12yrs n this i the 1st time we been to this kind of ra ra event..she can be wild also ..good my future concert khaki=))


at the back of the ticket, it even includes a map so we won't get lost..i tell u..it's can get very big n confusing..with so much human traffic...




Must take a pic of ourselves here to proof we were there!!!




cam whoring.


we finally get seated..hey we are not far from the stage!!! haha


we were glad that we were slightly earlier than these poor chaps..have to climb higher n sit further away from the show...as u can see the goodie bag came in many designs..all done by designers..very arty.


I actually bought breadtalk thinking i will be starving but never did i noe inside the NDP goodie bag there is 2 packets of khong guan biscits n 2 sunshine cream rolls(yucks..the cream is inedible i tell u. the cream actually look neon color...=.=)


Wah the goodie bag still have thrash bag to dump all yr sam pa ...so the whole padang won't befilled with our rubbish...imagine population of 36k of ppl there..each throw a bottle there..wah poor sam pa cleaner...=.=


We were digging into our goodie bag n found this fun box..inside contains my fav instant tattoos!!!


First place the tattoo at the position u want it to be, next wet it with water(NDP got wet tissue specially for tattoo transferring!! so thoughtful of them!!) n next...


tala...n it was done~~!


chio flag on my chio face. twist! Overheard the uncle besie me coped my idea. " eh can put tattoo on the face!! " although my idea not original or unique but isnt he too obvious that he is copying me?? waliew. dun like him. hmph. n he like go big butt, legs kept crossing border.


wow..wat a big difference in our skin tone..regardless of race. ops baoli! haha


I did quite a couple of tattoos on my hands.. tank, sonic jet, NDP logo...haha.so fun!! no wonder i can't find NDP tattoos. only exclusive in their goodie bags. *pout lips.


We were quite well prepared..luckily got our sunglasses when the sun is seting down, my eyes almost go blind. the irritating uncle beside me isn't so lucky..he has to use the smiley lion fan t shield himself from the glaring sun ray. haha.


The show starts early...around 5plus instead of scheduled 630pm. heng sia..me n baoli kia su..reach around 4plus. =x u wn't regret by reaching early..cuz u see..u will take some time to settle down, explore the goodie bag n do funny n lame tattoos u have not been doin since yr kindergarten years. haha. me n baoli getting very excited=D


The marching of different uniform groups is always a fav part in the NDP for me..it showcase how discipline used to me back in NPCC days in sec sch..cannot move an inch even my face is itchy or sweat is dripping down..wah tolerance must b damn high sia.
Anyway when the army boys mach out, it garnered the mso scream from me n the crowd cuz they stood out like a shining sword, so suave n cool!! =p

I zoom in to see if can spot baoli's brother at saint john/red cross(it's the same right?)


Was quite apprehensive to use the NDP toilet initially...wait till i open the cubicle door.


I was very impressed with the condition of the toilet cubicle. Lighted, sanitiser for the toilet seat, fan, sufficient toilet paper and dry. Heaven. i was thinking that NDP make shift toilets usually cmi to max, like kopitiam super smelly n oily. but to my amazement, it is odour free!!!


Everyone were cheering when the commandos made their way down in their parachute. I wish i had a chance to see Dar doing that. he would look damn cool n i would be so proud of him =x



The 5 stars arising!


Although we see it every year on tv, it will never be the same when u see it live at the venue itself..experiencing high sonic wave produced from these fast moving jets.


The tanks garnered the most cheering and exciting screaming when they made their entrance. All looked very clean n clear of mud. of cuz have to showcase the best side of SAF ma. S'pore pride leh.haha =x


When the sun sets, we can start seeing beautiful projection of visuals on the magistrate building.

As night falls, the surrounding looks more sophisticated...

Time to hold up the pretty clapper. let's make some noise!








We are very surprised when all vehicles lights up..it is very pretty!! n breath taking..


The most beautiful and sad moment comes.

Fireworks!! which Baoli has been waiting for the longest time. It's her very 1st time to come close to live fireworks =))


so long Singapore. Happy bdae=) i'm a traitor sia =x


This year goodie bag for those who attend the parade~~! it comes in 7 design n i got this which i deem the most colorful n cheerful design, which depicts my personality also. HAHA.


As i never been to any NDP before, so i do not know whether to classify this year goodie bag as good or bad. Anyway as a 1st timer i was actually impressed with the amount of stuff it contains inside!!! there are 3 bottles of water which i finished during the parade n discarded so u didnt see in the pic. plus 1 packet of crysanthenum tea from Yeo's. the official beverage sponsor this year.

Bye bye to my 6 years of comfort

For the past 6 years, i have been relying on this Mr bike for all the tedious trips i need to make to my work place, schools and church n home...

After Dar decided to sell his bike away for greater purpose which is, to assure his mum that he will not get into any trouble by riding a bike. Biking is highly dangerous. and i have witness many many bike accident when i was riding a bike, in a cab on bus or even walking along the road..either those already happen or just happen right in front of my eyes =x= like more than 10 when liam is not around.

It has been a faithful experience with God for this 6 years when we ride the bike. I have Never gotten into any accident. Still rmb there is this time where we both fell asleep on the bike after a hiking trip to pulau ubin!!! dar suddenly fell his bike swerve to a side abruptly which woke him up. Reali is God's grace. =p

Dar would have more experience to share during his weekly update ba..on our very 1st ride 6 years ago, when he ride me to Plaza Sing, we were gg down slope in the car park when he needs to stop in middle of the slope cuz waiting to exit, this brake cuz his bike to fall to the side n i was in trauma. =( den there is a bike behind us exactly the same bike as his quickly run up to our assistance. An angel from God=D

There are times where the bike slip n fell during rainy days but dar was not seriously hurt only scratches on skin. i thank Mr bike for that n thank God for ultimate protection.

for those who want to own a bike, if u can afford car of cuz car la..bike is reali convenient but u nvr know which gun doo one day just crash into u even though u may be 100% safe rider. yup.

So, dar's bike is sold..we got a new owner for Mr bike le.. Sad n happy..no more comfy. back to mrt-bus-bus-mrt.




*cry*


Monkey: dun be sad le k? although no bike now but i believe and have greater faith that God will bless us with something even better!! *4 wheels!!
Xiaopi: no more free ride...sob sob..4 wheel?? 4 wheel bicycle?? =((

*Monkey n hippo in actual size.

dar dar copy my action. he no creativity.

No one is here by chance. 只是 ‘生离’ 而不是 ‘死别’。。。

Many of my frens, who are worried and concern about my emotion status, pls do not be worried, i am fine. =)

Now 2.59am, i am not sleeping. rather i am enjoying uploading ah ma photos on facebook and share with my cousins who miss her alot. These few days have been hectic and i dun realli have time alone, to ponder about these 2 sudden lost.

Mid June - God calls liam's dad home


Liam's cousin told me about how liam's parents grumble behind me n liam last time that we are not filial and i am bad influence to liam cuz liam listen to watever i say and nvr talk to them. i felt bad n teared inside my heart but I am not ashamed to admit. Yes. that was what it happen 6 years ago when me n liam were together. we were nvr good testimony to his parents. God is really amazed. i have been praying for liam and his parents to b able to communicate all along, to show God's love with them instead of preaching to them. 生命影响生命 。 God has been gracious to me, giving me chance to make up to liam's dad before he was called home by God during this whole 1 yr.

So instead of letting thing/miracle happen in a blink of eye/instant which alot non believers always want to see, God sent Liam to Cambodia to serve in His ministry so i will be facing his parents directly.

This one year, Liam has been calling his dad almost everyday to chit chat, send dad to work when he back in Feb 10. All this quality time is non existence for past 6 years.

1 week before dad's departure, liam's sis took 1 week leave to rest and accompany dad n mum. liam's dad got to enjoy sis's company, grandson and son in law love. alot ppl say it's 'heng ah',还好 or 好采 liam sis do dat。 Nothing happen by 'chance' or 'pure luck'. Do u wish to live a life which such uncertain gamble? I am glad, when liam's dad departs, i am able to shower him with love from daughter in law EVEN THOUGH i am not legally married to liam yet.


i am not preaching n i do not wish to force any idea upon u. i am not a christian in name only. i wan to be a believer of Christ. i dun earn points in order to go heaven or look good in front of God. There's not point doing all these sharing n testimony if it is not real and good.

I still missed dad, he told me i am like his own daughter le and i am touched to hear dat. i only start to love him and he already departs. but,I am happy for him, cuz he will be with God and no more $$ prob, family worries or alcoholic addiction. so dad was called home after 30yrs of alcoholism and done serving on earth. 因为神知道，人不可以自救。If doing good deeds can make up for it. How many good deeds? benchmark?
