NDP Aftermath

what a nice ndp this year, although the fireworks were a little too loud... but overall it was a great show... the pre-parade is quite xianz, and the worse is that the tk band dropped their belongings on the field... 2 pieces of red cloth and a pair of shoes... omg... who would ever drop their shoes??? the total defence performance was really scary... suddenly got so many booms here and cracks there... do they really want to scare us to death???

the parade segment was much more better... the contingents marching in and the arrival of the prime minister mr. goh and president... tis year is mr. goh's last ndp as prime minister... this year is really a memorable year... he handed the resignation letter to the president at the istana (presidential palace) at 10 this morning... the new prime minster mr. lee hsien loong, who is still the deputy prime minster, will be the new prime minister on 12 august, although i'm not really looking forward to it...

lemme see... the new cabinet... one word to descirbe......... SUX!!! some of the ministers are like... erpx... not convenient to voice out political aspects here... im not a political gizmo... who cares, as long as i can go on with my own life, why should i care about the government???

btw, get back to the ndp 2004... the parade segment ended with a burst of fireworks from the centre stage... start of the show segment... act 1: our hoem our strength... signifies our garden city with the orchids and dragonflies, constituting to our natural beauty, although it is in fact not natural... act 2: our people our passion... signifies our passion for our own dreams and the spirit of the singapore team right now in athens... 2 mediacorp (our television network) artises performing on a globe patterned balloon... really graceful indeed...

time really flies, only 3 days left to the athens olympics... i'm really looking forward to the start of the games, can see so many world-class athletes competing with each other... they sure will put up a good fight....

act 3: our future our hope... it means us!!! the future of singapore lies on the younger generation and depends on us... of course, i hope that there will not be any idiots... especially from singapore idiot (idol), premiering yesterday... i didn't tune in the radio, so i didn't know the idiots who made a fool out of themselves during the auditions... but i must admit that there must be some really good singers... maybe they can become very famous singers and be known to the globe...

grand finale: our nation our committment... this is singapore, this is where i belong... not because i'm really patriotic, but i eat the food here and sleep in the flats here, must be proud of singapore, or else the government will bombard you! this year's theme song: home... sang in the ndp during 1998... i hate to listen to it again for the second time, but the song is very meaningful... it reflects on what singaporeans think of singapore... the fireworks damn nice... so many patterns...

the webcast of ndp 2004 will be on the web till november... i'm watching it now... if you want to watch, go to
http://www.ndp.org.sg/ and find the webcast... watch out for the dual screen webcast too! the swearing-in of the new prime minister and new cabinet will be telecasted live on Channel NewsAsia at 7:50 pm on 12 aug, thursday...

our nation, our committment...
