We got a pair of complimentary tickets courtesy of Shane's buddy Yiwei to watch the preview of the NDP 2010 at Padang. The parade is held at this venue only once every five years and we were excited to get the chance to be part of this event. Every participants were clad in the national colour of red and white it was a spectecular view sitting at the top of the spectator stand. Though the view of the actual parade was rather disappointing, as the main event were mostly facing the grand stand, which was meant for the ministers, it was good enough to be part of the nation's 45th birthday.
Shane looking excited!
All getting ready for the commencement of the parade!
The Padang is packed with everyone in a sea of red and white; the NDP motivators cheering everyone ON!!
A look at the structures beneath the stands of NDP 2010!
One of the designs of the goodies bag given to the participants of NDP 2010
Inside the goodies bag, we found one of our favourite traditional biscuits with the 'icing' on the top!

Another goody we found in the bag - The Singapore Flag Clapper!
