Many stories... One Singapore

So, NDP 2013 had ended hahaa.

I'm shoooo sad because I don't get to see hot army guys and that stairwell guy anymore.

TT

Okay, but hot guys aside, my biggest take away from this whole parade/First aid duty (for me) is that my love for Singapore has grown deeper.

Cliche I know.

But I know it's true.

Firstly because I'm not there as a ordinary spectator, but as a First Aider.

I get to see the behind the scenes of delications of fellow performers and parade segment (not so much).

I get to hear stories from them.

I get to see the friendship forged between the individuals.

I get to witness their love towards their homeland.

Someone asked me, which country do I like most, SG or M'sia.

Okay, because my mother is M'sian and my father is S'porean.

Without a second to think, I replied.

Not because I'm on this land, but because I recognise most of the effort put into it to make this nation the current state.

Although I have seen the whole celebration for 5 times before the actual day,

an overwhelming of pride as a Singaporean always flooded me when the National anthem was played with the fly past of State flag during the parade segment.

The first time I was there doing my duty,

I was almost moved to tears.

Almost, but didn't because there's thousands of people there hahah.

And everytime, every single show, that awesome feeling will still flood me inside.

And I was getting kinda annoyed when spectators walked in front of me during the National anthem. 

-__-

Oi, don't move leh, it's a form of disrespect.

Okay la, this is actually my 2nd time at NDP.

First was when I was Primary 5.

But after growing some sense into me for the past 6 years, the whole feeling to be in the NDP is whole lot different.

There as a First Aider under RCY. Woot, hope to be in NDP years later under SCDF.

FYI, in case you don't know, I have a sister in RCY too. And she participated in the marching contingent. Who is she? Find out yourself.

She was telling me that before Sec 1, she don;t give a damn about the parade.

Ouch.

However, after she was a sec 1 (by this time she's in RCY), all she care about during National Day is the parade segment.

Can't help but to be moved by it.

Like, a CCA can actually changes one perspective in things so much.

Proud of you sis to stand strong during the whole parade and city march past.

Proud of the marching contingent.

But have I tell you this before that it has always been my dream to join the P&C ever since I was a P5 kid? Yeah, I was in GB at that point of time.

Up till now, I still hold on to that dream.

Hopefully next time I can join it as the CC for RCY during my serving years for RCY, or be part of the contingent, or the CC for SCDF.

By then, I have already left RCY.

Hmm, hint hint. XD

(Not taken by me, I was doing my duty)

Always, without fail, have to take a pic in front of the platform before we get into our duty.

NDP'13 has been a greaaaaaaat experience to me.

Okay, awkward sign off.

I hope I'll be in NDP'n as a medic (SAF), paramedic (SCDF), or the marching con for it yo.

AHHA

Fat hope, I know.
