Something unforgettable in our lives ...........

I felt very excited when I reached Marina Bay. I saw Adrian Tan, Huda Ali and many other celebrities. I did not find the dancing too interesting but there were the jet planes and fireworks J.When the jet planes flew past, it was so loud that I felt like I was going to go deaf. The fire works were very nice too. I hope Singapore will progress onwards and have peace.

On 19th July 2008, my school West View Primary brought me and the other P5 pupils to Marina bay to watch the NE show. My classmates and I were very excited when we reached there at about 4.55pm. When we arrived, it was raining and we had to put on the poncho. I loved the Black Knights, Red Lions, V3000 and the fireworks. We also sang National Day songs. When it started raining again, my friend and I did not put on our poncho as it had a strange smell. At about 9.30pm, we headed home. We loved Singapore more.

During the NE show and felt happy and excited. It was raining heavily and the chairs were all wet. In the evening, we were entertained by the performers. I liked the Black Knights, V3000 and the hosts the most. We did the Singapore wave and it was fun. I was nice to be there in Marina Bay. The fireworks were amazing and had beautiful colours and shapes. I felt that Singapore was my home and we were united as one together.

On 19 July 2008, my classmates and I went to the NE show. It was very fun. We had our dinner there and watched a performance. The best part was the Black Knights’ performance. I wish to go for the NE show again. It was the best time of my life.

On 19 July 2008, we went to Marina Bay to watch the NE show. When we arrived, it was raining and it made the seats wet. The teachers told us to put on our ponchos and walk quickly. When the show started, it was really exciting, especially the fire works. My friends and I felt that they were really beautiful. I feel happy to go to Marina Bay to watch the NE show.

During the NE show, I felt good. There were fireworks shooting up into the sky. We sang songs like Shine for Singapore and Home. The most wonderful performance was when the people on the wheelchairs performed. It was amazing and there were loud applauses from us. When we were on our way home, we had to wait for the bus and we sang the song Home while we were waiting. I felt good. I hope to go for the parade again.

19 July was the day we went for the NE show. I was so excited J. It took us 45 minutes to get there. As we approached Marina Bay, I got more and more excited! It was my first time there. When we reach Marina Bay, we had to wait, but the worst part was that it was RAINING! it rained so many times. We were so unfortunate. 15 minutes later, we were in, but we had to sit on the top and I’m afraid of heights! I was determined to conquer my fear to enjoy the show. My mind was on the show. I liked the Black Knights and Red Lions, it was amazing and the performance was great! There were people coming down from planes with parachutes. It was so cool. At night, the best performance was the fireworks. All the different patterns and colours! Wow! It was so beautiful.

I was so excited before the NE show. When I reached Marina Bay, I saw so many people. I could not wait to get in. It was raining and we had to wear the poncho. It was so fun watching the performances in the rain! I cheered so loudly that even my classmate An Xin turned around to look at me. The performance was great. I loved the part where we sang the national songs. I LOVE SINGAPORE! I feel that I am really part of Singapore.

The NE show was very fun and exciting. I wish I could go for it many times. The part I liked most was the fireworks, the Black Knights, the boats and the floats. The worst thing which spoilt the show was the rain. We had to put on the ponchos and it was very troublesome. My poncho had a hole in it because the sticker I put on my shirt got stuck on it and when I peeled it off it left a hole!
On the stage were many people and the soldiers formed the word NDP 08. I hope that I can perform at Marina Bay too when I am in secondary school. I also want to watch the show again. I like the NE show.

I went to Marina Bay on 19th July 2008 to watch the NE show. I was so excited. But we were unlucky because it rained! When we reached the floating stage, the rain stopped. As the seats were wet, we used our ponchos to cover seats and sat on it. We ate out dinner and watched the show at the same time. When the Black Knights were flying above us, it was so COOL! We also had lots of performances. There was really team spirit when they were performing because they performed so well. At the end of the performance were the fireworks. It was very beautiful. I feel honoured to be part of the celebrations.
