National Day 2007


Outside Central Mall.



I think for next year NDP celebration, daddy will definitely be booking a room at Ritz Carlton Hotel. Yipee!!! This year, we didn't really prepare ourselves for the outing as we virtually brought nothing at all. We can only be envious of those who brought their mats and refreshments along. We stood at a grass patch, just outside Fullerton Hotel, near to our original intended sport, One Fullerton, due to large crowd turnout. Lucky for us, Celest was at her best behaviour on that day. Maybe she was afraid that police officers would arrest her if she misbehave. Hahaha
She sat quietly in the stroller for quite some time before she started to get restless. Her changing mat was placed on the grass patch and used as a mat. It was a wrong move as many insects started to 'join' us in the celebration by hopping onto the changing mat and I hate crawling and flying insects!!!
We arrived at about 4pm+ and waited for a long time before the helicopters, carrying the national flag, appeared in the sky. Celest was looking at the helicopters with much excitement as they were flying at a very low level. After that, it was more waiting games for us until the night fall. Celest slept in my lap on the grass and both of us looked unique as most people were standing while we were sitting in the centre. Celest woke up just in time to witness the magnificent firework displays. The feeling was different in seeing the diaply personally compared to watching it over the television. Celest wasn't afraid at all & was looking at it intently.
I planned to book a hotel room and invite our family members to enjoy the NDP celebration in comfort next year.
