Yupp... Hi once again! It's the weekend again and National Day had just passed. As usual, I stayed home for the National Day Parade on TV. Once again, it was really just the front segment of the whole Parade that really got my interest. The rest of the show was really just the performances.
Hahas, talking about the front segment, it was really quite a different experience watching that segment after having been enlisted. Most of the stuff during the marching was suddenly familiar and it was so much more interesting to watch it. Then, the performances came on but still, I kept the TV on. Lucky I did because the singing of past year NDP songs soon came on and I was suddenly filled with the exact same excitement of the eight, nine year old me when I was in school. Every time these NDP songs were played in the school hall on NDP eve every year, I would have this great happiness and excitement that fills my whole being and have an overwhelming urge to sing along. Well, from what I recall, I was more of shouting and hollering the songs rather.
Hahas, from the bits of flashes of past NDP celebrations in my memory, I clearly recall myself shouting out NDP songs over the huge din in the school hall. Well, no one would hear me anyways. Hahas, and it was this same feeling that overwhelmed me on Thursday while I was lying in my living room and I had this urge to sing out the NDP songs just like before. Well, I did sing, though not as loud hahas!
Then, while I was walking around in a shopping mall on Friday, I once again heard NDP songs being played. Of course, I started singing once again and this time I also felt like a primary school kid again singing and shouting these NDP songs with friends and family every NDP. Well, I guess I would call this the NDP nostalgia! Finally, I have found something to look forward to every NDP, these memories of my school days locked away, only to be set free with the playing of NDP songs each year. Now I'm looking forward to the next NDP, looking forward once again to the NDP nostalgia!
When the letter N and the letter S come together, it's a whole new world out there
