Overall stage looks like this, with some floating balloons in shape of sea creatures. Kept thinking whether the stage will sort of 'move' and whether the pple on it will feel the bobbing. Well. it's still located on water mah....*shrug*
This year's mascot 'cheer' people: wearing some fish costume... I tot it looks weird and hot.
Yearly event of parachuting with coloured smoke trailing behind.
Close-up of one of the parachute, really cool to be able to do such performance... =)
Marching contingent for this yr, seem to be of a smaller scale. The uniformed groups had coloured umbrella with them. When the National Anthem was played, they opened up their umbrellas, showing our Singapore flag. too bad we can't see it properly from where we were.
Fly past of the National flag during playing of National Anthem (hmm and here i was taking pic =P where's my 'stand at attention'?? O.o)
This year, we are able to see the cannon firing. I can only say it's really loud! We weren't able to see all these the previous years cos usually held outside the stadium. Kinda interesting to watch though...
This was during the marching in of the Colours. Was admiring the uniforms ahhahahaha....
An aircraft (i dunno the name for it) which showed divers jumping into the water from it. Really amazing sight as the surrounding water were splashing around like a big mist around the craft as it hovers just above the water. Then speedboats came in to pick up the divers real quick. The divers were practically 'jumping' into the boats... Woah! That's what I call fast....
This segment was mainly about showing the different kinds of cars, tanks and special vehicles that are being used for special situations. Couldn't get a lot of pics cos there were just so many pple standing up. Most of my pics ended up with pple's head in it or really blurred...
Main event started with an underwater theme. There were so many kids wearing costumes like fishes, starfish (reminded me of many little Patrick from Spongebob) etc. The starfishes were so cute!!!!!
Thought this was very nice as the sparks fell from the bridge into the water. It looks exactly like a waterfall, except its much brighter and very pretty! Behind it is actually a float in the shape of a snail (or rather what I think it looks like).
I prefer to refer to this scene as '小仙女'... hahaha... some of u might know what I'm referring about! My dear companion kept saying she like the costume a lot... I suggested making one for her then can really become 小仙女!!!!!!!! *grinz* pls dun kill me...=P Actually just a big group of girls wearing white dresses. The skirt can actually light up! On the big screen I completely dunno who the singer is.... Prob Kit Chan might be the one singing on actual day ba I guess...
Finale where all the performers gathered on stage to recite the pledge and sing the National Anthem again. I love the stage at night as there were light display and some fire display. Dunno if the lights were actually lasers as the MC mentioned lasers, but I dun see any leh...Hmmm... But with the office buildings as backdrop, the night stage was magnificient! Fireworks also erupted from the top floor of one of the office building. Cool!
Highlight of the parade and the most anticipated moment of the performance: FIREWORKS!!!! Took quite a lot of photos of the fireworks. They were beautiful! Sadly, the fireworks did not last very long and the variations were not as much as the ones we had seen from the firework festival. Still, it was good! Thumbs-up!
One of my favourite firework photo I took that night. I thought it was nice enuff with the camera I used. Well, I'm not a pro.... =) Looks good with the backdrop of the pillars used... Kinda wished I brought a better camera though... Next time with the fireworks festival I will ba!
