The Mobile Column


SIDEBAR(you know it, click on pics to enlarge em. and dont mention the typos...tis a touchy subject.




As you know from reading my blog( thats right i know you are) its been a busy couple of days with us running around taking pics of fireworks and trying to take pics of what really is a beautiful cityscape, and enjoying ourselves all through. so yesterday was declared a lazy day, even though it was national day itself. Spent most of the day watching the west wing and playing with pepper. The highlight of the day was meant to be the arrival of the mobile column in tampines and while the coloum was much much smaller this year it was still impressive to see tanks come thundering down the simei tunnel.Sherwin, Aaron, Mark, Gerard, Noel, JJ, my Mum and me stationed ourselves at the halfway point of the tunnel so that we could get the full effect, of sight and sound and we were not disappointed as you can see from the faces of our cheering group. Photographically it wasnt the best of my days lah, however my objective was to have fun and i wasnt really focusing(pardon the pun) on what i was doing!

The troops in the vehilces were very sporting and were shouting and cheering their lungs out, it was nice to see them waving little Singapore flags...we the little country that could.

Anyway the National Day events will close with the final fireworks display on saturday...if we make it there....i have heard rumours of firewrok fatigue, in some members of our clan.
