Thanks to Julian, my friends and I, including Julian were able to watch this year National Day Parade rehearsal show. Julian got the tickets and invited Geraldine and I to go. But Geraldine could not make it hence Julian had another 4 tickets to spare. Immediately I called Louis and Jiayun. Both of them did not mind going in fact we were all excited to have this chance to go. For me it was also my first time at a National Day Parade even though it is not the actual parade. So together the four of us, we met at City Hall and walked to the floating platform at Marina Square. The heat from the sun was super hot! We were there seated early at 4:30pm and thankfully had good seats! I was sweating like crazy! I could not wait for the sun to set any quicker! The parade started at 6pm.

We thought that there will be no goodie bag since this is not the preview show but just a rehearsal. Much to our surprised, there was the goodie bag for us! I also thought there will be no fireworks but I was wrong too! In fact it seems like a preview show to me besides the fact that the hosts like Gurmit were holding their scripts in their hand.

The parade this year will be great I think. (Probably because I was there to experience it.) But the parade sequence is quite good. Altogether of 10 chapters that will show case how Singapore was founded all through to the future of Singapore. Actually there is so much to share but I do not know where to start! And probably some people will hate spoilers. For those who want to see photos and videos of the parade, the links are as follows.

I truly enjoyed myself as much as my friends did I believe! Once again, “Thanks Julian for the tickets!“
