Carnival@Marina

Ok. Lets start.....

The Carnival@Marina kicked off slow... real slow. Could not adapt to the surge in crowd as the time passes.. we really didnt expect that much pple to turn up so early.. But thankfully, we manage to control everything. Something was really dragging the carnival.. and that was the weather.. It was really really hot, at some point, i thought that i was LOST in the Sahara, or mayb somewhere even worse... hell.. hai~ walking from one place to the other was quite a chore for me.. From the static display to the food village took me a good 15 to 20mins walk.. of cos, it may talk abt 45mins if there are girls for me to oogle.. (oops!) haha.. j/k. ok, a brief introduction at the carnival

BDE CP: Out of Bounds to the public. The place where i hang out the most and blog.. =) this command post is the HEART of the Carnival, all decisions, changes and meetings are held here.

Static Display: Think Army Open house =)

Food Village: Think Foooood.... Expensive, lousy, period.

Carnival Rides: Bronco, Rhino, Fire engine (-_-"), lightstrike, rides.. My gf enjoyed the Adventure ride bcos she was smart enough to choose the front seat.. her friend at the back kenna mud.. bad girl... haha. Complained that Bronco very noisy.

Dynamic Show: A show put up by army, police and SCDF. Quite entertaining to see our nation's defence force. =). Proud to be in the army... but for only 2 years.. haha!

Fireworks! The most entertaining and interesting part of the whole carnival! Would love to see them again and again and again. Couldn enjoy it wif my gf cos i was tied down wif something.. Hai~ i had to usher Mr President.. haha got up close wif him... was the first time i actually see the president so close. haha.

My day ended at 1am!.. zz by the time i reached home.. it was abt 2 to 3 plus.. hai~ i expect every day to be like dat..

by the way, the crowd who turned up for the concert and fireworks was... huge! haha.. close to 50k~ a rough estimate.
