national day for me this year was different than the past years. usually, it'll just be a good rest when i'd just lay at home and sleep. night would either be watching NDP live on tv or i'd be heading down somewhere with my family to watch the fireworks display. this year however, i went high tea-ing with my family at swiss hotel. which was very poshful. haha. we were at this restaurant 72 storeys high and i could see everything. really everything. singapore's really small. haha. anyway, the food was not bad plus it's a buffet so it was worth it. took some pictures whilst i was there but can't post them cause i'm too lazy to upload them from my phone. haha. so as i mentioned, i could see everything, we spotted this rehearsal thing. we saw loads and loads of people holding red and white umbrellas in a field forming a mosaic of the singapore flag! and it was brilliant. bro and i had fun trying to take pictures of it. cause it's like the people would close their umbrellas and wait for the signal. then! as the signal goes out, they'd open their umbrellas simultaneously with the effect of the blooming singapore flag! haha. cool!

after the extremely full and much satisfying buffet, which i ate loads of strawberries, my relatives left for fullerton. one of my aunts booked a room specially for my grandparents to enjoy NDP and also have a good rest. while me, bro, jov, aunt ling and mom went shopping. well, we were supposed to buy bread but we kind of sidetracked. so bro bought a shirt while i bought an onitsuka tiger shoe! haha. man, my salary's going to be depleted in such a short time. haha. whatever i guess. been quite some time since i last splurged on myself. the last time i did was getting my hair rebonded. yea well, the shoes are so so pretty! haha. ok then we went to fullerton. i admit, the place was just right for watching NDP cause we could see the performance grounds from the balcony. what's more, the toilet totally rocks ok? haha. sadly, i really couldn't stand one of my aunt (dad's sister in-law). and LL was so near me (he's at orchard! while i'm at raffles place) so went to meet him. so sorry, i'm always late these days. thanks for being so gentle with me. haha. i knew he wanted very much to go home and rest but he still brought me to watch the fireworks just cause i wanted to. so we went to the marina square food court and whoa, loads of people were already camping there! haha. so we squeezed into the crowd. turns out, dads with kids were everywhere and the kids were on the dads' backs. which i found really irritating cause their butts would be right in my face everytime they turn. grr. well, despite the squeezing and the pushing and the butts, i enjoyed every single second of the fireworks display. partially, LL was there with me and had this romantic feel to it. LOL. well the other was that the fireworks this year were just so beautiful! like better than past years! just wished it'd last longer. so there we stood watching the fireworks, i just felt that the crowd was gone. it was just us and the fireworks and it could never feel so right. thanks LL for always giving in to me and my wilful requests. :)

well, i want to blog more but i'm falling asleep. so much for laptops being so convenient that you can even use it on your bed. xD
