As a true blue Singaporean, I've always love the National Day Parade.(NDP)
The ambiance is mesmerizing, it feels ecstatic to watch live performances and there is a strong sense of nation pride and honor as we celebrate this special event with many fellow Singaporeans, singing the National Anthem and waving the Singapore flag as one united nation.
But darn! I didn't manage to get any NDP tickets again..It's been ages since I watched live NDP, but thankfully, my son who is in Primary 5 this year get to attend the NE Show. (*aka National Education Show)
The Lucky P5!
The previous NE show was cancelled due to Covid safety restrictions and...finally, after 2 years, the NDP is open to public (*ticket balloting) and the primary school children get to watch the NE Show live at The Float@Marina Bay.
Every year, the neitzens are excited about the design of the NDP Fun Pack and what's the goodies inside...

So here's the NDP Fun Pack 2022. The items are pretty standard, but useful as always and the reusable tote bag is good quality. (My mom is going to love this for her grocery shopping!😄)
Personally, I like the Merlion keychain most! I'm a keychain collector, it's something to keep as a memento and the chocolate cookies from Khong Guan taste pretty good too! Mmmm...
My son enjoyed the live fireworks, he came home so eager to share the highlights of the event. I'm glad he had a wonderful time and a fun experience at the NE Show.
Here's an edited compilation video and random pictures captured from the mobile phones.(*Not the best video quality, but I love the fireworks and the cheers from the crowd!🥰)
The National Day on 09 August is an annual grand event, a day we celebrate Singapore's independence, our nation milestones and achievements as we progress...
Singapore has been through so much challenges and adversity for the past few years since Covid in 2020. The battle against the virus isn't over yet, we are experiencing global recessions and inflations too, but I am sure we will get through this tough time together! I firmly believe...The storm will pass and the sun will rise again!
Every National Day, I get a little 'emotional' and there is a song that keeps ringing in my mind...
🎶"This is home...surely, as my senses tell me, this is where I won't be alone...and this is where I know it's home.."
Yeah! Home by Kit Chan is my all time favorite NDP song and I never get tired listening to this song, every National Day!
It reminds me that Singapore is truly our home! Regardless our race, religions and any differences, we should stand hand in hand as One People, One Nation, One Singapore!
Wait! Don't feel disappointed...
If you didn't get the NDP tickets, don't be upset! You can still join the Heartland Carnivals at the designated locations and watch live fireworks & performances and celebrate National Day with your family & loved ones!

Let us stay strong and be united always. Together, we can build a better and brighter future for our generations. Be resilient and roar like the lions!
Stronger Together, Majulah!💖🇸🇬
