NDP. The parade of memories. After going through much pain and tribulations, its finally over.
Lets go through the old memories... When I first heard that nan hua was gonna participate in ndp, i was like, oooooohhhhh. (I did not own a DSLR camera back den, and had not much opportunity to develop my passion for photography...) I got my camera in March de... And so, I wasnt that interested in the NDP practices, and was not used to the way Mr Dan cheoreographed the dance... (I did learn the first few sections of the dance you know! :P ) Slowly I went for more NDP practices to watch, and when I got my SLR camera, I started shoting away like some freak. I bet many of the lower sec pupils felt that I was crazy... lol... Anyway, laconically, I got to know Mr Phua through a photo assignment during the speech day of NHHS... Den we met again several times whilei was helping some sec 1s with their video project and during another NDP practice... I din talk much to Peter... Talked more to Dan who was very frenly towards the graduates... haha. Peter should smile more yar? :)

Den as time went by, I found myself making new frens! I believe the first few were Jemimah and SK... From there it extended to Jing Hui, Yin Kar, and alot of 108 pupils... Den it extended even further to Weimann and Clara, and Hammy! lol. Alot of many other frens made... Some say that my SLR connected me to my new frens... Hmm. Perhaps it did play a part lar. I met alot of new frens at Esplanade too during my solo trips to the Singappore Fireworks Festival... lol.. (New photography Frens)

I commited myself to helping Sam in backstage work, and yepp, photo taking became 2nd in priority. Anyway, it was a great experience to be part of the show. Without backstage crew, will there be a show? Without the AIs, will there be a show? Hmmm.

Then came the days of practices at the stadium...
Memorable times where people screamed for water...
Pictures speak a thousand words actualy. View my July Archives at the photo blog...

NDP 2006

Yes. The day everyone was waiting for. ALot of presents were made for the AIs, much to the astonishment of Ms Yeo I guess... I'm not sure of the reasoning behind the forbidden act of giving out pressies to show appreciation... But nvm.

Seriously I'm quite ashamed of 70% of the pics taken during the whole thing. The standard is totally very low in this 70%... Cos most were grp shots... Cant do low angle de... haha. Nvm lar its for memorie's sake only. (Shutter count for whole NDP event plus practices = 6000+++ photos

Shutter life for camera = Appoximately 30000

Anyway it was worth the shots... Freezing memory in digital format...

Back to the topic...

INdoor Stadium... Recalls the time whereby Singapore Idols came... And Deejays...
And of cos, the most memorable pic of the fireworks was the one taken wif the core grp de... That pic rawked my world I tell you...

Now that NDP is over, I will miss Yan long and Aloy, n my lower sec frens... Wun see em that often anymore... It would be extremely odd if i keep meeting up wif them too i guess... Age gap too wide perhaps? Den i make myself extra summore... Tho they're real nice frens! :) Love them all! hahas.

Well. Thanks for reading thru this super long post. And remember to tag! :)
