NDP Parade

Went to watch the NDP parade air-show and fireworks with my mum, her first time watching the NDP live. It was sunny when we left home for Marina, but it were these dark rain clouds, and a slight persistent drizzle that greeted us over there... Had to respect those parachuters who did their show amid rain and strong winds~

The strong winds and dark clouds in the sky made the air-show a little less beautiful as compared to the rehearsal last week, especially that the heart-shaped smoke didn't come out that nicely at all, and the winds blew it apart within seconds, the dimming natural light also didn't help at all...~



A faint rainbow appeared towards the end of the air-show... Sign of good luck to come?

First blast of fireworks, the crowd was starting to getting to get worse and worse, especially around this poor family in front of us who brought laptops to watch the NDP live over Wifi, and found themselves jammed-packed surrounded by foreign workers, smoking and talking loudly (mainly the China ones) watching the show with them~

Then the smoke came... The strong winds spoiled the air-show earlier, and ironically, the lack of winds spoiled the fireworks show later in the evening... Mother Nature still rules~



After Shine Singapore, it was the Haze Singapore... hahaha~!!
