There goes the jets!
The NDP (the first half at least) is so familiar, yet so different. Familiar because the usual contingents are there, my NPCC cadets are there, the red, blue, green, purple, rainbow berets are there and the ministers and gang are all there. Different is the President does not go his GOH round, instead, he stands on the jeep and goes around the Padang instead. Another thing, the NDP Exco decides to allow the supporting contingents (who usually do not matter much haha) to actually march with dignity out of the field. Usually, after the Guards-of-Honour ceremoniously march out, the other contingents (NPCC, NCC, Red Cross, NTUC and the likes) are told to get the hell out as fast as they could and usually, that meant running like mad dogs in the dark, losing badges, buttons, shoes and tripping, losing a tooth along the way. It's so manic,it's actually quite fun.
Anyway, all right. Shall listen to Corinne May now. The non-synchronous sound of the telecast and the TV sound is pissing me off. But ah...in the spirit of National Day, I'll whine later.
P/S: Chiam See Tong has gotten really old. Man, I wish him well. I like that guy.
