~ HAPPY BELATED NATIONAL DAY & A start to a new beginning... ~
8:08:00 pm
Well, I know I'm short of a day but it won't stop me... HAPPY 39TH BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!! Hehe... Maybe it should have been a 'belated' one... Hee...
How I spent my day on National Day... Went to Marina South to watch the fireworks and play kite-flying... Anyway, my third aunt, uncle (her husband), cousin, sister and myself, we reached Marina South at about 5+... Took bus 400 from Marina Bay MRT station and alighted at the 6th bus stop (well, not sure whether I really counted properly)... Went to a kite shop to get drinks and I bought a $2.50 paper kite...
*Feeling like a small kid again... Hee...* Walked all the way to the river bay, facing Kallang where the parade is going to be held... Just when we were about to fly the kites, a policeman came and said, "No flying of kite today. NDP."...
*Sucks!!* So ended up playing soccer with my uncle, cousin and sister... My aunt took over after I got tired and ended up she sprained her pinky toe... By 6pm, more and more people arrived and soon, the place got crowded... By then, we were already tucking in some barbequed chicken and sandwiches made by my aunt...
*Well, I only brought a sitting mat and myself... Hehe..* We were joined later by my second aunt and her husband about 6+... Well, they brought more and more food (yes... I can feel myself getting fatter by an inch... Haha!)... Fried rice, murtabak, kuih apam (peanut filling pancake)... My parents came along at about 7.30pm, only to lose their way before that...
*Sigh* They had actually alighted a stop before the intended bus-stop... Luckily, both my uncle and cousin went to look for them...
Basically, everyone around us (inc. me) were armed with cameras to capture the special moment, which was the fireworks... Well, seriously, there was nothing great with it except for the fact that you can see it live and feel it... The whole thing only lasted for about 3 mins... But even so, it's great having to gather with your other family members... After the fireworks, I started flying my kite... Yeah... At night... I was considered good for a first timer... Hee! My cousin lost her kite cuz she let go all of her string as it was not tied at the end...
*Wanna challenge somemore... See lah!*... Sat at the river bay for some quiet moment and peace... Walked to the other side of Marina South with my sis and cousin... All in all, it was tiring but fun... Hee!!
Besides that, 9th of August marks a new beginning in my life... Yeah, it's official... I'm taken!! Hehe...
Anyway, to my Loved One, I LOVE YOU! *muacks*...
