National Day Parade - NDP 2013 Singapore

-
With much pride, Mrupupup attended the National Day Parade 2013 (NDP). Thanks to Today Newspaper managed to get tickets to the actual parade on 9 August 2013.  In Singapore, one needs to be very lucky to attend the actual birthday celebration of Singapore's birthday on 9 August every year.

Mrupupup had this rare chance to attend the actual parade for NDP 2013. Mrupupup's feedback of the parade: fantastic and superb! Mruupup loved the musical style format created for this year. There were many personalities on stage for NDP 2013- Gurmit Singh, Vernetta Lopez, Sebestian Teo, Vocaluptous singing group, Ah Boys to Men stars, Under One Rood- Moses Lim and Dolly, Shimona Kee (singer). Besides the musical format, there were sports personalities, army & police hardware on display, fighter jets, navy boats, spectacular fireworks, and even the 'immobile' Merlion appeared on stage (really made me laugh!). Overall, it was a great NDP 2013 and Mrupupup would remember this NDP for a long time. Happy 48th Birthday Singapore!
