HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! This year's NDP was great! Haha, usually I'm only interested with the parade segment of the NDP celebrations, but I ended up sitting through the whole parade + performance this yr, cos I was waiting for joi to appear, and she only appeared right at the end. I must say that all the performers did a good job, as they continued to put up a great show despite the rain. This, by itself, was a far better display of the resilience of Singaporeans than what the performances portrayed.
Anyway, for the parade, I liked the additional aircraft display, where they tried doing various breathtaking stunts in the air. For the performance segment, my favourite performance was the statues of inspiration. Those statues representing various fields / qualities were creatively designed and looked quite cool when they began rising.
Finally, joi appeared in the last segment to sing the theme song this year. i was initially quite afraid that she might not be able to rise up to the occasion, as her voice is rather gentle, and might not have the power to psyche up the crowds on such a big occasion. To my surprise, joi sang exceedingly well tonight, and i would say that this is a big milestone in her career. Way to go, joi! Your performance was marvellous! (: she should have sang the chi version too (qing kong wan li), so as to ward off the rain clouds HAHA
