NDP Preview 2013:)

Hi everyone, my school had invited me to watch the National Day Preview and I’m here to blog about this wonderful event. Woke up at 9am to have my morning meal. After my meal my brother & I went to watch the legend of the crazy monk on television. Went to get ready at 11am, as I was getting ready I realized that were no white pants, I freaked out after 30 minutes my sister handed me a pair of white pants. After getting ready I went to the dining table to have my lunch, my sister made sandwiches for the three of us and my brother made me a cup of milo without any sugar!! After finishing that really nice meal I went to put on my shoes. At 12: 36 the bus came to pick me up. When we arrived at school only for 20 minutes than we were off to event venue, during the journey I was talking to my CCA teacher about the latest news and all that stuff.
When we arrived at the floating platform my teacher gave me my dinner, I had a shroom burger from Burger King and a cup of mango juice. At 7pm the show started with the hosts coming onto the platform, shortly after all of the ministers had arrived the Red lions were jumping out of their plane at 50,000 feet and for the first time in history there was a female red lion. After the red loins segment it was time for the armed forces showcase, showcasing the professionalism of the men and women of the Singapore armed forces, after the showcase the actors from Ah Boys to Men came onto the stage to sing the theme song of the movie.

At this time it was getting dark so I took out the lightstick from the fun pack. The performers were singing songs, then I heard a voice saying hi and I wondered where was it coming from, it was the merlion. The merlion wanted to join us on stage but, he was scared to swim over then we had to cheer for him to swim over and when he dived down an animation of the merlion swimming over to the platform started to show on the screen. When the merlion arrived it started to sing, after singing fireworks started to shoot out of the merlion’s mouth. The show ended with some fireworks. I took some random of MBS. I went home at about 10:37Pm see you soon

The Top 3 Things To Do In Singapore


Hi everyone, sorry I haven’t been posting for a few days. I have been having a small problem in school but I’m happy to share that the problem has been resolved!
Anyway on to today’s topic 3 things to do in Singapore. If you’re planning to visit Singapore in the near future, here is The Top 3 Things You Must Do In Singapore
3. Go Shopping
If you’re a shopaholic I’ve got good news for you. In Singapore there are plenty of shopping malls for you to shop at till you drop. But if you were a hardcore shopper I would recommend you to go to the busiest mall in Singapore, ION Orchard. That mall has all of the brands I can think of from Lv to Rolex. And if you’re a food lover that mall has many restaurants worth trying out.
2. Try out the local food
If you don’t want to spend a few big bucks on a restaurant, you can try out the local food we have in Singapore. You will never find food in the world that can compare to Singapore’s local food. There are many types of food in Singapore from the famous chicken rice to fish ball noodles just to name a few. So if you are food lover it’s worth giving it a try.
1.            Visiting history Landmarks In Singapore
If you’re keen to learn more about Singapore’s history you can visit one of the history landmarks. One of them being the Merlion. There are 5 merlions in Singapore. The merlion has a body of a fish and a head of a lion. The fish body represents Singapore’s humble beginnings as a fishing port. The lion head represents how Singapore got it’s name. Singa means loin in Malay. And since the founder of Singapore first saw a loin upon arriving to this land, he then decided to name the land the lion city.
