Five Stars Arising!!!
Hmmm… Does anyone remember this song besides our “Count on me Singapore”, “Stand up for Singapore”, “We are Singapore”??? 
There are five stars arising…. Out of the stormy sea… la la la la…. 
It’s National Day! What could be different this year? Got! They moved the celebration into the neighbourhood! Here’s what was “live” from Tampines! 
I woke up especially early on the special day too! Evidence? Nah! Give you! 
Oh yes… Since the public holiday fell on a Tuesday, I took the day off on Monday! Long holiday! Woo hoo! Oh! For the first time, I joined Coach Hassan at Tampines Sports Hall in the wee hours of the morning to “line up” for badminton courts booking! Let’s see… I think it was something like 5.30am when I reached! And there were already like 7-8 pax there! Wow wow… And the best part is… The booking office doesn’t open until 7 am! 
Anyway, we only managed to book 4 courts with an hour each for the coming Wednesday. Haiz… By the time we’re done, it was 7.30am. I went home in anticipation of the new event on the list - Jeslyn’s Baby Full-month celebration! 
Kristen Ong Ning Xuan. Isn’t she adorable?
Eeks! Look what I discovered on my walk home from the Sports Hall! A dangling wormy! Eh? Wait a minute! Am I at Manchester United or Liverpool territory? 
Orh… The Community Centre at my area organized this “Walkathon”! Wow wow… But that’s not all. Check out how they have decorated the place!
Speaking of Jeslyn, she invited Adelyn, Lynn, Tricia and myself to her house for the celebration. Wow… Her family is so so big! So many folks there!
Anyway, we were discussing of the long-awaited graduation ceremony in September. Initially, we all agreed to attend together. But then… we heard of Lynn collecting her cert already… And now it’s Adelyn and Jeslynn not attending the ceremony as well! Adelyn said it’s “not necessary” and Jeslyn… Erhm, she fears that the whole hall will be occupied by the Chia Family! 
Haiz… So it’s just me… As for Tricia, well, she needs to do another semester for the most hardcore subject - “Strategic Analysis and Decision Making”. I hope Mum can see me on stage wearing the full academic dress while receiving the cert.
All thanks to Steph. She called me and told me that there’s gonna be fireworks at the National Day celebration in Tampines. Else, I would hv missed it. Well, since I have nothing on I decided to go there and check it out.
There was the carnival, with live telecast from the Padang. Quite a sacrifice leh! Cuz I got my feet into the mud and there goes my white sandals! *Heart Pain* ah!
Left to Right
1st Row: Nice Clouds Huh? What’s that white strip across the sky? It’s a bird, it’s a plane. No! It’s 3 combat jets!
2nd Row: The party starts here! That’s the big TV! Check out the crowd!
Last Row: Manchester United playing against Liverpool? Fireworks at close proximity! Zoom out and see!
Just when I was on my way out of the crowd, look! Mermaid of sand!
