Update @ 10pm
The whole platform's filled with happy Singaporeans this afternoon!! Everyone's so happy they've gotten themselves places right in the Marina Platform to enjoy the NDP Preview and they have definitely all the reason to, given the show waiting in store for them!
And that is just one part of the platform you seeing here. The show kicked off soon, with the Red Lions descending from the skies!!
It was an exhilarating sight to watch them landing onto the platform one after another. Soon, the show segment started. And we discovered something about the lion dancers that were amongst the crowds. Woah, I wonder what I was doing when I was their age!
Night fell soon and the show slowly unfolded.
Here are some pictures from the different items during Chapter 5.
And one of the hosts actually went on to dance. Guess who it is?? I bet it surprised many to see Suhaimi dancing down there.
Near the end of Chapter 5, we see the performers coming together and how the new stage has made the show more interactive.
Electrico came out to present the NDP Theme Song and I must say the song sounds really good, live in the Marina Platform.
At the end of the show, the performers all come together, united. They have put up a good show today!
And of course, we have the most exciting portion of the show!! The fireworks!!!

The road to NDP
Twists and turns
Sweat, blood and tears
Smiles, laughter, joy
Friendships and bonds made
Experiences unforgettable
Each with his or her own story
Coming Together
To fulfill a common purpose
That pretty much sums up much of the NDP journey! :)
A building like a castle has many components. The brilliant exterior design, the majestic sculptures perhaps, as well as the firm foundation and the robust pillars. All are vital in order for the building to shine. Today's Media Event was about "Behind-the-scenes of NDP". The unsung heroes of NDP, who have been assiduously backing us up throughout this journey, are like the supporting structures of the castle.
But before that, lets share with you our arrival at the heavily guarded castle called the Marina Bay Floating Platform.haha. Seems like security's really warming up in preparation for the real thing next week when all the ministers would be coming down. We have to go through the scans that tourists gotta go through at the airport every time we enter the platform. Haha, times are such that we need to be alert at all times. Haha, reminds me of the latest Harry Potter movie where the characters had to go through certain security measures before entering Hogwarts. Security is important.
These scanners and metal detectors lay dormant for the moment. I presume that in their wake, they will have to tend to a sea of homo sapiens who have come to attend the preview later on in the evening.
Ever vigilant, the police are making their rounds. Nice arrangements of cars :) haha.
The Civil Defence has been called in too! Hmmm, convoy movement?
Alright, and so we proceed on for the Media Event which is to be held at one of the Control rooms upstairs. As you can see, there's the Military Police guarding the lift, ensuring that no one without clearance can make it through.
Ooops, we don't have enough clearance on our pass to enter the golden lift! Thankfully, we managed to obtain clearance from our superiors to proceed on. The more "xx"s one has on the pass as seen at the bottom of the pass, the greater one's ability to roam about the platform.haha.
Okay, the Media Event! This time it was kinda different. The event was held in a restricted section of the platform. Right at the top! That's why we needed clearance to cover the event.
This is Colonel Kenneth, Chairman of Ops and Security, giving a speech. He shares with us about the efforts of the Control team at making sure all is safe and sound via vigilant monitoring of cameras placed around the vicinity. For more information, do check out our post on CR2 where we covered more about Control and security measures. The Colonel also shared with us the hard work of those working behind-the-scenes of NDP.
If you've been following us, we've covered many of these unsung heroes in our previous posts. Here's a tribute to them. :)
Rain or shine, 6am or 11pm, they work hard for us.
The marshallers who direct the traffic so that chaos is kept at bay
The logistics people who bring us the food and water
The Old Chang Kee team who never fails to satisfy our taste buds
The guys from Mr Bean who always help to quench our great thirst
The Medics who ensure we are well taken care of
The Secuirty team that assures us that all is safe
The cleaners who brighten up our day with their hard work
The drivers of the chartered buses who have to wake up at unearthly hours too
The backstage crew who strive to ensure we get the best from the show
The make-up artists who give the performers that sparkling touch
The teachers who have taken the responsibility of bringing the students here
The people who packed the funpacks for whom without the packs won't be fun
The conventional and New Media teams who bring the updates to the masses (haha)
And all who have put their best foot forwrd for NDP :-)
And lastly, lets not forget about the performers for NDP! The many buses have arrived to safely deliver the performers to the stage. The performers have come a long way to bring the show to us! :-)
----------------------------
In the blink of an eye, it's the first of August, what do you See? Do you see many NDP posters around the island rallying Singaporeans to Come Together? Have you seen the "NDP coated" bus? haha. Well, we're all gearing up for the real thing! NDP is just next week and today's the preview. It's been a journey of experiences, a winding road which we've all taken to Come Together to celebrate our nationhood. It's not over yet though, haha.
Today, we'll be glad to share with y'all what happens today at the preview as well as the much anticipated 3.2 km City Marchpass. (Do check out yesterday's post to find out where the contingents will be marching and cool places to station yourselves at to catch the parade) . But before that, we've got an interesting Media Event coming up in about just an hour. This last media event's on "Behind-the-Scenes of NDP", giving tribute to the many unsung heroes. Do check back around lunch time for a morning update where we'll give insight into this event! Lastly, we'll have another update at night.
Trace the footsteps of our very own NDP journey! Here are 6 episodes of the past NDP rehearsals and NE shows for your perusal. Do check it out! =)
Do keep your eyes opened and stay tuned for updates from our blog today! Enjoy!:-)

Hello!
You may probably be very curious to know how one can make real money on investments.
There is no initial capital needed.
You may begin to get income with a sum that usually is spent
on daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one project for several years,
and I'm ready to share my secrets at my blog.
Please visit my pages and send me private message to get the info.
P.S. I earn 1000-2000 per day now.
