NDP and NDP Road Closure

Happy Birthday Singapore!!!!

Its NDP again! The short form for National Day Parade. *smile*
Its time to see the high-flying, stunt-displaying fighter planes ranging the skies....
The sychronised marching...
The colourful display of costumes on dancers..
The songs...
The pledge...
The unity of the citizens...
The spirit of ONE.

Here's what you can expect from NDP 2010:

From 5.00pm, we have the Pre-parade Segment comprising
- 2-way telecast with heartlands
- Red Lions jump

At about 6,00pm, we have the Parade Segment comprising
- Parade & Ceremony
- state flag fly past
- Presidential Guns Salute
- Aerial Flypast
- Mobile Column

Around 7.15pm onwards, we have the Show Segment comprising
- ACT 1: Red & White!
- ACT 2: Five Stars!
- ACT 3: Crescent Moon
- ACT 4: Our Flag!
- One voice 2010
- Fireworks

*clap clap clap*

And because of the Youth Olympics, this year's NDP will not be at the floating stage near Marina Bay. It will be at the Padang. So we will be heading off to the Padang earlier  because of the road closure. If you are driving there too, you may want to take note of the following road names that are affected today:
