This year, there is no NDP at Padang or Marina Floating Platform due to Covid situation and with that, we are truly blessed to be able to celebrate it with our family at the comfort of our home. Well, you might be wondering what the difference between this year and the past is…
With the
Covid situation and restrain of people gathering in large numbers, the
government arranged the army mobiles to be paraded in the neighborhoods areas
and we are happy to be able to see them up closed just outside our house. No crowds,
no sweat and abled to celebrate NDP with our family and neighbours. 😊
The kiddos are
extremely excited about the NDP this year and knowing that they can see the
mobiles right outside our doorstep, it got them into the mood. They were all
charged up and waited patiently for the mobiles to pass our house. We waited
for about 30 minutes for the appearance of the mobiles and we cheered them on and
some of us waved with our flags. It was really a beautiful moment and being
able to celebrate NDP with the neighborhood is something that I have missed
doing.
I remembered
during my childhood days, I stood by the roadside to wait for the army troops
to march pass and the mobiles too. It was such an incredible feeling, and I am
so happy that after so many years, I can watch the mobiles closed once again. It
really brought back so much wonderful memories.
After dinner,
we drove the kids to Punggol area to check out the fireworks. We were not sure
which is the best place to view but we certainly found ourselves a good spot to
view the fireworks in the comfort of our car. The kids preferred to see the
real thing and we got out and watched by our car. 😊
This is one
special NDP and we thoroughly enjoyed the moment and finally felt that we are included
as a citizen. 😊 Thank you, Singapore!
