Happy National Day Singapore!

Today is a special occasion where Singaporean around the world celebrate our nation’s birthday, and its also the first time we celebrate it at Marina Bay, the first water front platform . Beside the new place, it is also the first time where our army the Land, Sea and Air come together and performed for the celebration. Its definitely will be an interesting celebration, but unfortunately I didn’t manage to get the ticket to attend the national day parade. If you are like me didn’t manage to get the ticket and wants to see the celebration.
