Every year, on August9, Singapore celebrates its National Day in A grand way. This year is no exception. In fact the celebration this year will be grander.
As a precude to the National Day celebration proper,Primary5 pupils from all schools were invited to watch the National Educational show at Marina Bay. I was very happy and excited. The show took place on a Sunday, 11th July 2009.
We assemble at school at 1:30 p.m.Everyone of us was in a hight spirits. We recived a goodie bag each, which contained our packaged dinner and several items, including a raincoat. When we arrived at Marina Bay it was already 3:30p.m. The stage was decorated with flags and bantings. It looked so beautiful and colourful.
As the show began almost immediately we sat in silence watching the performances which showed the history of Singapore and how this 'Lion City' was founded. The crowd applauded and roared loudly as one episode followed another.
The most exciting item was the singing and dancing programme. At that point the weather changed suddenly. It began to rain cats and dogs. Althought we had our rain coat, we were all drenched. However, the performances continued to entertain the spectators. Everyone of us watched the performances with pride and admiration. The spectators stood their ground and enjoyed the show thoroughtly.I went home with all wet but happy.
