A Sneak Peek.


Like Birds in the Sky, the Fighters fly. (not bad eh, it rhymes)


This year's NDP involves a lot of action on the lights.


Fireworks as per usual.


Notice that the fireworks create some reflections on the glass windows of the IR.


There's fun box thingy inside the goody bag (a 'designer' tote bag), quite a good concept.



Due to the limited focal length of my lenses and an awkward seating postion, I was unable to shoot close-ups of the parade. I pretty much enjoyed watching the NDP rehearsal even though it was still quite unpolished. I noticed that they made used of many remixes and medleys this year. I liked the remix where they used "I gotta feeling", but maybe it's because I already like that song a lot.

I was able to appreciate the parade because I know how much sacrifice was made to enable the show to be run smoothly and the number of weekends that were burnt by all the NS boys. The difficulty of getting that many army vehicles to be showcased for the parade too. I felt proud when I saw my men marched out into the padang. They have really been through so much crap these past few weeks with the messed up schedules that we have been experiencing.

It was a good time then to reflect. Someone once told me that based on a survey carried out, they actually found out that loyalty to the country actually drops after guys have served NS. That baffled me as it was supposed to have the opposite effect. Could more have been done to reverse that outcome (if it's deemed true)?

I need a decent blogpost. I've been procastinating for too long already and now seems like the best opportunity with the sudden influx of photos on my camera but I need to book in. So NDP photos shall wait!

This long weekend had both its good and bad.

Honestly, still quite confused by stuffs especially in the area of friendships and relationships ever since I was given that word during altar call. I began to evaluate my friendships. I was thinking if let's say today something happened to me and I wanted to do something stupid, who would really be there to stop me? (Btw for clarification purposes, I won't do anything stupid! Haha.) I have this photo tree in my room of the people whom are closest to me in my life, maybe it's time to update it.

Take away some old ones and replace them with new ones.

On another note, to my dearest friend D, I'm not sure if you'll read this but don't do stupid things because of a girl k? Smoking, clubbing and showing her you have a life now won't solve anything, really. It will just strain things further. Just know that we'll be there for you, like we all have for the past 6years.

I think I just pissed off my new boss.. It spoilt my mood for the night.

But I'm just happy that I stood up for my rights.
