Singapuraaaaaaaaaaaaaa 08

i haven't attended a single organised National Day Celebration/Ceremony for the past 2 years, with the last one being the 2005 NDP celebration in SAJC.

and those were the days.

in 2006, i was still struck in SAF's very own School of Infantry Specialists and national day was pretty much a bitch. when most of singapore were watching the parade on national tv. i was en route to boon lay as we have to book in by 2000h. i think we had some major exercise or mission the next day. wtf.

so 2006's NDP was really a bitch.

in 2007, i remember i had an argument with my girlfriend. 

so i guess it wasn't entirely enjoyable too. =x 

but we still managed to catch the fireworks though.

in 2008, i realised that we were forced to attend the National Day Celebration in Ngee Ann Poly. i was like WTF ANOTHER SHITTY NDP.

surprisingly it turned out pretty well! =)

it brought back secondary/JC feelings of major celebrations where teachers and students alike will put up some sort of performance. some good, but mostly crap.

the celebrations at NP is pretty much the same. 

both the emcees are my lecturers and they're pretty darn good! 

also, we get to see lecturers, whom we never knew existed, making a fool out of themselves! 

some crappy performances and some good ones, including one performed by (i suspect) gay lecturers (or EXTREMELY effeminate ones). it was all a good laugh really. =)

and they even have a mini remote-controlled "hindenburg" (it's like an airship yeah?) carrying the singapore flag at the finale.

kinda cool if you ask me. =)

but the confetti shower at the finale is really going to kill the cleaner aunties. =x

really.

i rushed off to meet bishi for makan and jalan jalan. 

we shopped around bugis, i haven't been to that place for AGES and it's still horrid as usual.

filled with people. =(

we shopped.

she got a top and a leather bag. 

(i helped her bargain and shaved $6 off her top k?!)

while i got meself a pair of berms. a rather tight pair. (what's happening to me?!) =x

Highlight of the trip:

during one of our forays in one of the many cramped shops, i mentioned that the bag's label is very anna-sui-ish. 

she looked at me in surprised, nodded her head in agreement and said loudly (where a couple of cute girls were within earshot):

"you're right zihao! you're really my best girlfriend."

i swear at that moment, my balls dropped off, grew legs and ran off in search of their required macho-ness.

sidenote:

can run like fuck soon! =)
