Now now, the NDP preview was way too exciting to talk about, but never did I ever experienced such dullness in some of its programs. Yaya, people saying its just a free ticket, what more should i expect anyway? Ye can say that again, but i dun mind! Okz, anyway, the preview was on 31 July 2004, which was two days ago....It started with a bid to heighten the energy of the crowd and i was kinda excited about the show, the part showing the army welcoming the president amd the MPs, but all i saw was some soldiers holding a sign indicating he is an MP, i was laughing away because of that, after that, the Total Defence display, it was kinda cool, and very good indeed. Here comes the Wings to Soar, now thats what i call appreciating the Arts, my cousin was in it...anyway, it was cool, then the time for the mixture of NPCC and NCC performing some kinda martial arts, displaying thier guts and furor withj the highest of spirits, but, unfortunately, some of them got the wrong colour, what a shame, lol, some singing segment with Lin Jun Jie, then Kit Chan with her original version of "Home", Ju Jie was singing it like a rock 'n' roll song, lol, the time for the balls to roll down came, and this time, it showed the very true colours of the motivators, they aren`t what they r supposed to do, but instead dampened our mood by selfishly rolling the balls down themselves, how typically f***** up can they be, freaks! My mom didn`t even had the chance to touch the balls!! Well, the part where they show this year`s theme, A Progressive Society, first up with a group of people dancing, apparently multi-racial, then a whole cohort of our National flower and some other flowers, they light up beautifully with the dark sky, then the fire-works display, i was indeed beautiful....the whole celebration ended with a sing-a-long session.....Ahh, tiring day.... Now, to check the goodies inside our bags, wow, there r much more items than last years! The bags r bigger, everything tantamounts to a BIG Storeroom of goodies!! Anyway, time to say Ja Ne, gonna sleep, cya volks!!
