National Day Parade @ Marina Bay 2007 国庆庆典

Following the closure of the Singapore National Stadium this year to make way for the contruction of the new Singapore Sports Hubs (to be completed in year 2011), National Day 2007 Celebration was held at the Marina Bay. The world's largest floating platform was built for this event.

Our National Day is always a big affair. No expenses was spared in such celebrations. There were many sponsors for the event too. Many months were spent on the preparations, training of parade particpants and rehearsals.

For Singaporeans who couldn't get tickets to NDP, every year without fail, they will be glued in front of the TV to watch the National Day Celebration.

It's traditional for the crowd to wear red on this day, so whether we're at the event or going about our lifes around the country, we get into the spirit by wearing one of the red T-shirts that would be on sale throughout the island.

Singaporeans celebrated our 42nd National Day of Independence with an impressive parade and mass cultural displays. The parade also features death-defying stunts by the Singapore Armed Forces parachutists and a 2000-strong combined schools choir. It ended with a big bang with awesome fireworks! When the parade ended, spectators and participants in eye-catching costumes take to the stage and turn it into a giant dance floor!

Oh boy! This is the BEST National Day Parade I have ever seen! It gave me goosebumps and made tears swell in my eyes all through the event!! Congratulations to the organisers. Promotions coming liao!!! ^-^

Singapore has the highest standard of living in Asia and is the 22nd wealthiest country in the world. It is a financial hub with a liberal economy. It's the world's easiest place to start a business but not necessarily to make money. hehehe......
