Welcome to my 1st blog. I've never been into this blogging thingy before, which i decided to embark on out of fun. And this is how I am gonna kickstart it.
In case you're wondering how come i chose Jedi; any member of the knightly order in Star Wars, which was trained to defend justice and peace in the universe(www.dictionary.com), its juz
simply because i have been an avid fan of it since young and started off when i saw the 1st Star Wars movie(dun noe how long ago it was).
...don't worry! Other than sometimes fantasizing about becoming a Jedi, I'm very normal otherwise. (just abit too normal)

Well just went to watch this year's NDP preview yesterday night with Gk. Thanks to Chen long who managed to get 2 tickets for us. Frankly speaking, I wasn't really excited by the thought of going there even though it has been abt 10 yrs since I actually when directly to the stadium to watch the parade, albeit it being a preview show also the last time. That was the time when every pri 5 student were required to attend the preview show as part of national education(what I would call as the nation's effort to inculcate the 'correct' set of thinking to us). Guess u can say that I am not really a patriotic person after all. Dun get me wrong, I still love my country for how it has made me for what I am today, but its just that I prefer to watch every year's parade from the comfort of my home instead of having to squeeze with everybody to watch the same thing, minus the atmosphere of course. Anyway when I reach there I was really appalled by how much the stadium(the floating platform) have changed since the last time I was there; from just the flat platform it was previously, to the at least decent looking performing stage that it able to accommodate 27,000 people. Speaking of the show, its just .... and more .... On the whole, I really have no inclination what the various performance was about. Not to say the performers did not perform badly, they really work hard for it and its quite a feat considering they have to coordinate the shows consisting of 2,000 over performers, although there are still some glitches here and there. But the thing is that the whole was probably too artistic for me to understand(maybe I'm too LC haha....) and in the end I was just anticipating the fireworks was coming up next). But anyway the only thing to look forward to should be the performance by the RSAF black knights plus of course the fireworks, other than that, well u know what.
On the whole, its quite an experience for me to see the nation coming together by transforming the stadium into a sea of red.
Till then,
May the force be with you......
