It’s Singapore’s 49th National Day next week and the kids managed to catch one of the rehearsal parades with my aunts. One of my aunts got the tickets from her colleague. I have never successfully balloted for tickets in my life and I really wonder how some people get to go year after year without fail! It’s been ages since I attended a parade and I’m not particularly keen to go but it’s really for the kids.
The photos are taken by my aunt and I think the kids had fun even though Adam was scared of the fireworks. Just one thing: why are there people not dressed in red & white? It’s National Day, for goodness sake, people should make some effort to dress appropriately! My kids even had red & white Rainbow Loom bracelets. Those who show up in anything other than red and/ or white should be banned from future National Day Parades!

I have never balloted successfully for NDP tix too (despite using the entire family’s IC numbers)! Sean will be going with Foops for the actual day – got the tix from the Bighearted Awards!
Really makes me wonder how people get the tickets!
Looks like you had a fun day out! Patriotic colours in a very cute way.
Have a fabulous weekend!
