NE show
Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 21 July 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture.
Thanks to my dear friend,XY,who always looks out for me when she has lobang like these so that I can bring the kids for shows like that,we were able to watch the NE show,also known as the National Day Parade Preview last weekend.
National Day is on 9th August, and we were elated to be able to attend the 'rehearsal', which came complete with the fireworks and goody packs.:)

It started raining so we left early but we stopped at Marina Square for the fireworks.That was the icing on the cake!
Thanks again XY for getting the ticks for us,this series is for you:)

Wow, I feel like I just spent a very happy, exciting day with you and your family tyan. Stuff like this brings back fond memories of our own now-grown children when they were young and excited about everything we did together as a family. Thank you for sharing these happy images today.

This is so nice!! I have never been to a parade though my hubby (then boyfriend) was in the committee years back and wanted to give me tickets. Can you believe I was never interested in parades until I had kids?! Now, I can't get tickets - (Rats!) because he's left that era behind. This is probably our last national day.....we're planning to relocate to live in Australia.
If all goes well Babe, kids and I leave in Nov. Husband leaves mid August to settle things. Sorry I have not been up to date here...been so busy with relocation plans, kids and all sorts. But so glad to see your lovely family here. I will keep coming by your blog. Why? Cos I like it! :)
Well done, great pics!
