National Day Celebrations

Yesterday was National Day, a public holiday. So my father drove us to town. We were on Sheares Bridge near Marina Bay before 6 pm.


This is a picture of the Singapore Flyer, which is still being built. This tourist attraction will be open to the public in early 2008. Here you can see that only a few cabins have been attached to the wheel.



Happy Birthday Singapore! Singapore is 42 years old.


For the first time in 42 years, the National Day parade was held at Marina Bay this year. This is the view from Sheares Bridge. A floating platform was built for the occasion. Here you can see the sea of red. The spectators were wearing red and white, the colours of our national flag.

I then went home and watched the parade on tv. I enjoyed it especially the fireworks display. It was breathtaking beautiful against the night sky...
