NDP

watching NDP with my parents now
must say this year's one is quite big, and destructive - millions of grass of the Padang kena trampled on

I do not quite like the new song, well its an attempt to be "relevant" and hence such a modern song, but hey sorry I still settle for the old catchy "Count on me Singapore", "Stand up for Singapore" and "Home" songs, those are more closer to my heart, maybe because they were taught to me in Primary School? Haha.
But anyway, with my entry into NS I now understand abit more of the parade proceedings, including the Malay commands and the parade proceedings. I could also show off my knowledge to my parents on the various weaponry system that the Army has =)

Looking at the various performers, sometimes I wish I could also participate in one parade, like being on stage or backstage. Or maybe part of the videos that they show. Somehow every year they supposedly get hundreds of people but I am not chosen? Why ah? I have heard about how tough the various rehearsals are, but then what things aren't tough? My POP parade from BMT was also pretty tough but at the end of it the satisfaction is still fulfilling! .. mmm

Anyway, regarding this year's theme about Dreams, Father posed me that question. Personally, my current dream is mainly to have a great healthy family with us having enough to be contented. No need lavish, but just enough to live happily, and possibly afford some holidays now and then. But then my short term dream, I still really don't know - you can tell from my current inaction. Maybe I have yet to mature, maybe I have yet to grow up? I hope my 2 years in NS can show me the light.
Then what is your dream?
