It was only my 2nd time watching NDP in person! the show was very well planned. Still rmb back in 2005, I was part of the marching contingent for my CCA, representing St John Ambulance Brigade. It was a very fun first time experience to be part of this big event for Singapore. Not easy to stand there under the hot weather. Kudos to all the performers and participating personnel. Good job for the great show! #mysgmemories

The Light to Night Festival is from 4 - 15 Jan 2023, making the post dinner walk around Padang scenic. If you're feeling warm, retreat into the air conditioned National Gallery, where a series of curated installations “Here and Now”, invites one to reflect on one’s time and environment. On certain saturdays, there will be F&B stalls and street performances along the civic district, as part of the Art X Social festive village, which enlivened the Light to Night Festival.

Celebrating Singapore's Birthday (2023 NDP) at the Padang!!! Live celebrations with fellow Singaporeans is definitely a chance not to be missed. The stage comes to live with wonderful performances. The atmosphere is simply awesome. I finally understand why people like to watch the parade live and soak in the atmosphere. Thanks to all the people who made these possible. Happy birthday to Singapore!

#mysgmemories As this year, the National Day Parade returns to Padang. Parliament area is a good place to catch the view of fireworks! The fireworks display is between 8.15pm to 8.25pm. Need to be there few hours early to secure a good spot to view the fireworks. The fireworks is very stunning! Looking forward to next year celebration! Happy 58th Birthday Singapore! #tripblazers #myvlogtrip

#mysgmemories Getting tickets to the NDP preview is like winning a lottery ticket! Even when the Padang is very crowded, we managed to get seated by 5pm after collecting the NDP goodie bag. Crowd control was well done and there wasn’t any pushing or overcrowding. The goodie bag includes a bottle of water, snacks, sanitizer, tattoos & a mini flag. The show started at 5.30pm and we enjoyed watching it live. Everyone was singing along to the NDP songs & making the “kallang waves” was the fun part. Loved the whole experience and the NDP vibes. We enjoyed the show and had fun throughout the show!
