Happy Birthday Singapore!!!!!

With the fact of faithfully balloting over the years
and not getting ANY tickets has dampen our spirits
of celebrating the nation's birthday....

Truth to be spoken,
I can't remember when was the last time I celebrated National Day!

But, when I read about NDP at the Heartlands,
I totally love the idea!
And I knew I had to bring the kids
even if it meant battling with the whole world
on the public transport system!

The backdrop for the heartland celebrations
is a two way live telecast
which will link the Padang to the 5 heartlands.
This link will allow near instantaneous interactions
between the host and audiences at all 6 locations.
The heartlands is a mini mirror of activities at the Padang....

The celebrations kicked off with 3 entertaining emcees;
Jeanette Aw, Lee Teng & Vijaya Pawade....

Guest of Honor;
Member of Parliament for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC

We've even gotten goodie bags!!!!
All thanks to some very kind uncles from Aljunied-Hougang GRC!
They gave us tickets for goodie bags redemption....
which totally made the kids' day!!!

Hopefully, someday we'll get to watch National Day at the Main Event.....
