National Day 2008

Yesterday was our National Day, Singapore 43rd Birthday. I took some photos off the TV to show my friends our culture and how we celebrate National Day. I could not get the tickets to the live parade nor do I want to stand by the roadside to watch cause it would be very crowded. So I have to be contended with the television.

The above photo shows the chinook carrying the National flag as the nation sings the National Anthem.

From my window, I could view the chinook carrying the flag far off from where I stay. This is the best I could zoom on the chinnok.

Pictures taken off television.

We are a multi racial country, we have the Indian Dance.

This year the Chinese Dance comprise of some teochew operas.

This is the Malay Dance.

There are more perforamnce and fireworks after all these dances but I did not snap them.

Skywatch - A day full of planes

Last Saturday was a day full of planes because of the National Day Preview. Tomorrow is the actual performance for National Day which is Singapore 43rd Birthday since independence. I hope to take more video of the planes tomorrow when they flew over me.

The three helicopters flew towards the sunset. Look on the right hand side, you could see three little bird like objects in the sky, they are the helicopters.

Another video of the fighter planes.

You can watch another video of mine about the fighter planes in an earlier post.

Thanks to Tom for hosting Sky Watch. For other sky watchers, you can go to Tom's skywatch blog.

A friend who just returned from a holiday in Beijing, China, gave me this momentos with the olympic mascots. I am so crazy over these cute mascots. You can view the huge mascots in Bank of China Singapore in my earlier post.

Saw these cute mascots at the travel.

These mascots were arranged by ASA Travel Holidays to mingle with the crowds as they organised many China Tours.
