Went to watch the NDP Preview 2006 yesterday since I got extra tickets. Frankly speaking, I can count the number of times I had been in the National Stadium on the fingers of one hand. I think the most memorable experience I had (apart from the NDP preview all the priamry 5 kids watched which is all but a hazy image in my mind's eye now) was the pre-parade gymnastics performance we put up back in year 2000. I think what made the memory so vivid was the hideous green lycra dress we were made to wear. Ugly dresses aside, I suppose that was the last and final time I stepped into the stadium at all - after all, we were no longer expected to turn up in full force for the annual Track and Field Championship from secondary 3 onwards. Oh well.

As I was saying before I got sidetracked onto memory lane, the whole experience was great! Knowing the fact that this was the last time the NDP would be held at the stadium for who-knows-how-long-to-come added on to that exhilarance. And I didn't know I could feel so patriotic about my country! Hurhur. And looking at the sea of red made me realise how lucky I am to be here today, not forgettng the sense of camaraderie I felt when everyone did the Kallang wave. Think my favourite part of the whole event was the fireworks.
