milkfrost's world: National Day Dinner @ Royal Palm

Happy 48th Birthday, Singapore!

We didn't manage to get our hands on the NDP ticket (again), so Sam suggested dinner on National Day. She saw this deal online sometime ago: Celebrate 48th National Day with Dinner & Catch Fireworks Live! from deal.com.sg, so she decided to dated us. Only myself, Wendy & her hubby; Angeline & her family joined Sam for this event.

Wendy suggested wearing Red top, so I went to "ransack" my wardrobe for one & found this. Wanted to wear a White bottom but realize both my white short & skirt is stained with red patches when the previous maid washed it with a red short! Anyway since the top is kitted & see-tru, I wore a White top inside it whith a denim shorts.

Har! Since it's National Day, I decided to bring out my 18 year old Red Epi Leather Louis Vuitton. It's been long time since she's out!

Anyway, it's quite frustrating getting the the Singapore Flyers cos the road leading there from Esplanade is blocked. I end up making a huge detour just get to Singapore flyers

Dinner was at Royal Palm @ Singapore Flyers

Seated at the restaurant, while waiting for the buffet to start, helicopters with National Flag flew past, as well as the fighter jets

Singapore Sling $10 to start off the dinner

Quite a lot of selections but unfortunately the food is either bland, too salty or overly sweet.

After dinner, we were all finding a spot to catch Fireworks. I brought my mini tripod so that I can video the fireworks in ease =D

Four of us

Fireworks started! I was a few steps away from my camera & quickly went to start my recording, but accidentally stepped on Jaycus who is standing behind me. Instead of starting the recording, I accidentally hit the "off" button

I have trouble uploading the video, so here's a link to the video that's being uploaded to Youtube:

National Day Fireworks

Just when we thought the fireworks are done since all the performers have already started marching out of the Floating platform, there is another display of fireworks!

And out of sudden, another display of fireworks! Didn't have time to activate the video recording, so quickly snap a few pictures.
