Celebrating NDP on 9 Aug 2014 with fellow Singaporeans

This year, my family and I had the opportunity to attend the National Day Parade at The Floating Platform. We reached Promenade MRT Station at around 3.15pm and by time we walked to the Green zone queue entry area, it was around 3.30 pm.

We queued for 30 mins under the hot scorching sun. Finally, the gate opened at 4 pm and we could finally entered. Tight security check - drinks that we brought into the premises, we had to drink in front of the officer and proved to them it's water.
 




After these check, we finally entered the float area and collected our goodie bags.


We were early so we ate some food we brought like the rice dumplings, baos  and so on. My dad had cooked water chestnut herbal tea because he thought the weather's hot



The performance started at around 5.15 pm.

This marks the end our NDP celebration 2014. 


We left the float at around 8.20 pm. We were all hungry and tired from the walk to Raffles Place Mrt station. After we reached Ang Mo Kio, we went to our favourite zichar stall and ordered a $8 horfun and 3 cans of soft drinks. We reached home at around 10.45 pm.
