National Education Show 2007
I took my Assembly Bag with a smile on my face. The Assembly Bag was the bag of the National Day Parade in 2007. It was special as its size is changeable. We were attending the rehearsal of the National Day Parade. The National Day Parade is to commemorate Singapore’s independence.
I was lucky as this year’s National Parade was in Marina Bay, on a floating platform. The platform is the biggest platform. After collecting the National Day Parade bag, we (primary 5 pupils) went to the canteen to collect our dinner. We went to the foyer to wait for the bus.
While waiting for the bus, we pulled out the things in our bag or put batteries in the star clappers’ and electric fan. The electric fan had wordings on the blades. The words were made by lights. Not long after, the bus came. We entertained ourselves in the bus.
Soon, we reached the Marina Bay. It was crowded with people, mostly students. We walked a long distance and climbed flights of stairs before reaching the seating gallery. However, it was worth it.
My favourite was the finale and the fireworks. The fireworks were glorious. The fireworks came from three different directions. Cameras were flashing, the screams of joy were deafening. The finale was when all the performers were flashing their star clappers on the floating platform. I was awed by how the platform carried so many people. Not long after, the parade ended. We left reluctantly.

It was so enjoyable that I wish I could go again. I threw away a bag which was for us to throw our rubbish. It was going to be sent for a lucky draw. There were six numbers on a sticker which we were suppose to paste on the plastic bag. We were suppose to keep the other portion of the sticker which we can use to claim the lucky draw prizes.
We took the same route back to the bus. We were tired by the time we reached the school. Well, all good things must come to an end.
