The Best Is Yet To Be

I have reached, perhaps, the biggest milestone in my life this week. On 21st (Monday), Mummy and Daddy went to ACS Junior to register for my Primary One enrollment. We registered under Phase 2B (church affiliation within 1km).

After 4 days of suspense, it was revealed that there was no need for any balloting which means I am officially an ACS Jr boy from Jan 2015. Mummy and Daddy are very happy that we have secured my Primary One spot and they cannot wait to see me in my new uniform. Joshua Tan, one of my best friend from Pat's Schoolhouse will also be with me there. Tristan and Joshua Chan will be going to ACS Barker which is a short distance away from us. Lucas too, won't be far away in SJI.

I am not sure what to expect as I have no idea what a primary school is but Mummy and Daddy keep telling me it will be very different from Pat's as there will be many boys there and many activities in school. I guess I will wait for it to happen next year.

The Best Is Yet To Be!

NDP 2014

This is the first time we attended a National Day Parade. Although it is only the rehearsal, we were  very excited with this new experience. In fact, it was also Mummy and Daddy's first time attending a parade. We got tickets from one of Mummy's friend who is volunteering for this year's NDP parade. Daddy thinks there might not be many chances to see a parade at the Floating Platform now that the National Stadium is up and there are talks that the Floating Platform might be removed.

We took the train to Promenade station and walked to the platform. On the way there, we were distracted with the ice cream man. We couldn't resist and had a couple of chocolate chips waffle.

The pre-parade show started at 5.15pm and the actual show started at 6pm. The atmosphere was electrifying as the whole platform was packed with a sea of red and whites. The highlights were the parachute jumpers and also the helicopter fly pass as the national anthem was played. For me, the highlights were the goodies in the goody bag that was given to everyone. 

The grand finale were the fireworks and we were pleasantly surprised to see the whole works and not just a bit since it was just the rehearsal. Andrea fell asleep just before the fireworks ended and Daddy had to carry her and walk to the train station. She only work up when we got home. We had a good time and wouldn't mind doing this again soon.
