Yesterday was the fourth combined contingent rehersal (CCR4) which was also the 63rd day countdown towards the National Day Parade (NDP 09). To add on, yesterday was one of the worst weather that we had ever encountered after so many weeks of rehersals.. It was extremely hot and all of us have to endure through out the rehersal under the sun.. Everyone was sweating just like an ice melting under the sun..
As this was the first time I'm particpating the NDP (other than being an audience sitting at the side of the stage), I'm feeling excited and looking forward for the NDP to start soon.. I believed I'm not the only person who is being excited, most of the participants (including the performers) are also feeling the same way as me as the days draw nearer to NDP.
Although the training was a bit 'xiong' (due to high expectation from the organiser), it was also a fun experience for me. Other than the usual march in to the platform, we'll also be marching out of Marina Bay.. Heard that the route was about 3.2km, we will be marching on the road where many 'eyes' will be on us and I belived all of us can put up a 'nice show' on that day infront of these people (Hopefully by then, all of us have built up our stamina for this marching).
Looking forward for the upcoming rehersals and hopefully after each rehersal, we can march 'swee swee' just like the uniform groups in SAF and police force..
