NE Show 2013

I really like this year's funpack for National Day Parade 2013. It is a good design, very practical as a backpack or as a sling bag so I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. :) Since 1997, all Primary 5 students in Singapore are invited to attend the NE Show with the objective of evoking a sense of patriotism amongst the students and imparting to them the significance of National Day. Being in Primary 5 this year, Marieann attended the NE Show which is basically a preview of the National Day Parade on 9 August. Marieann was in school by 2pm and the school brought them to The Float@Marina Bay to be seated in the late afternoon before the show starts. Marieann didn't get home till 10pm. She enjoyed the parachuters dropping in and the fireworks display but most of all, she enjoyed the NE Show in the company of her friends. :)

Lots of interesting stuff in the NDP 2013 funpack :)

Look, "Harry Potter"!

That was what Juliane shouted excitedly this evening while pointing out the window. NO WAY, it can't be Harry Potter! He's just a fictional character. As I walked towards the window, there was a noise in the air. Ah, I understood. She had meant "Helicopter". Hahaha.

It is the 2nd NE show today. Two CH-47 SD Chinook helicopters, which were bearing the Singapore flags, flew past where we live and each Chinook was flanked by two AS 332 Super Puma. I managed to get a few snapshots of the aircrafts. There were also F-16s which flew past but those were mighty fast and too far to get a good close up photo. The girls were pretty excited to see the aircrafts. Maybe they can catch a glimpse of the aircrafts again as the 3rd NE show is on 21 July. :)
