HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE- Fly past by chinook carrying Singapore Flag

Today is the 45th birthday of Singapore. Happy Birthday Singapore. Took these videos of the chinook during the NDP 2010 rehearsals on two different days from two different locations when I was there.

The chinook that carried the huge Singapore flag flew over the padang (the venue of the performances) when the National Anthem was playing. Even those army and police personnel and Singaporeans (like me) standing along the streets watching, all came to a stand still. This is in respect to the country when the National Anthem was played.



And now I am done posting all these NDP 2010 photos. Will begin a new series of photos soon. Hope all of you enjoyed the NDP 2010 photos and short videos that I posted.

National Day Parade 2010 Rehearsal on 31.07.2010 - Planes

Time passes fast and it is already Friday and looking forward to weekend to spend time with family. Geez we have less than five months before 2011.

Some of the videos are blurred cause of the excitement and the planes were too fast, no time to focus the camera.

Hope you all enjoyed the short videos and sorry for the blurred videos. I love taking short vidoes so that I could view them on the computer over and over again. The best video I took was the fireworks but it was too long to load to blogger.

National Day Parade 2010 Rehearsal - Performances

Posted this before but was taken at another direction. This is not the only performers for the event. There are other performers who were marching in from other places. It was like they are coming in from the north, south, east and west towards the venue. Some were stationed at Marina Bay Sands, City Hall, etc.

My World Tuesday - National Day Parade 2010 Rehearsal - Parachuters

One of the crowd's favourite sky performances.

Last saturday, went to watch the NDP 2010 rehearsal again and took these videos of the parachuters from another location which offered a better view.

You have to watch both videos for the action of the parachuters.

The last parachuters that touch down carried a Singapore Flag.
