Finally! A Long Weekend and a Short Week...

No school today cos Thanksgiving was on Sat... so today off in lieu... so I went to get my hair trimmed.

Anyway, Thanksgiving was... not as good as I wanted it to be... But we tried out best, that's for sure... just that well... there're many other factors involved.

Then there was lunch, not too bad, but I only heard from my colleague that the caterer who catered our lunch hit the headlines tat morning, causing food poisoning apparently... but looks like we're all fine... hehe...

Anyway, I went for the NDP preview that afternoon... We walked one big fat round before finding the actual entrance to the place...urgh... they sealed off so many roads, got us all confused. Don't want to be a spoiler, but it wasn't really that great. I went for another preview a few years ago at the national stadium, the atmosphere was really different.

Firstly, the construction site of the IR was really not so nice.

Then some one kept on playing with the sound system, and the speakers kept on changing volume, and balance of the music kept on changing...

Then, it was scorching hot, and one of the audience actually fainted.

Then, the bottle of water they provided in the pack was NEWater, as usual, which is a miserably SMALL bottle of water for that kind of weather.

The stage was big no doubt, but there're too many sections on the stage, and different 'sections' have different things happening, causing us to be very 'busy' turning our heads around, trying to see everything that's happening, afraid that we'll miss anything exciting.

There're still great performances for sure. The Parachuting was exciting, they actually dropped off straight from above and we could actually see them falling (by acceleration of free fall), which seems frightening fast. Wow.

And of course the 'Black Knights', the fighter plane display was exciting, the planes seem to be so much closer as compared to when I last saw them at the stadium.

The fireworks were great, I think there'll be even more on the actual day. My sis made a video of the fireworks. I shan't be a spoiler by putting it up now hehe... I'll put up after NDP for those who didn't see it.

Oh but the esplanade area were flooded with people waiting just to see the fireworks. They stood there since 4 pm i think... and the fireworks only started about 7 sumthing... what a long wait.

Oh yes... and I thought it'll be good experience for the choir to go for the combined schools choir at ndp... but next year got syf, arts nite, thanksgiving... a lot of things leh... maybe another year ba... still thinking...
