National Day Celebration

It was a long weekend for us, with five days of holidays! It was a good time to regenerate, relax, before all the term test came in. On Friday, I had CCA Appreciation and thus missed the national day performance at Kah Kee Hall. However, the CCA Appreciation ended earlier, thus I joined my friends at Kah Kee Hall and managed to catch a little of the sing along session. My class also won a consolation prize for the most united class award! I think it was because all of us came in school uniform and P.E. Attire instead of red and white, hence we received a consolation prize for being "united". During the sing along session, we sang "Stand up for Singapore" and "Peng You". Both are rather sentimental songs. My friends and I had fun singing the songs together. On Monday, I watched the full parade held at the Padang. I think it was a sparkling performance and managed to show off Singapore's military prowess. My favourite was the fireworks, which was dazzling. Fireworks exploded and lit up the night sky for a full three minutes! It was so loud I could even hear it from my house! (But there's a lag between the screen and the actual 1 because light travels faster than sound) However, the angle of camera taking the fireworks was not really good; hence it was unable to catch the desired effect of the fireworks. After that, I also watch Ip Man and I felt that it was a good movie that could portray national pride (but in the case of China, not Singapore). All in all, I enjoyed my national day celebration!
