Taman Jurong National Day Event

A-team's meet-up over the weekend ends us at Taman Jurong Greens! Why is it so? Cos Kogu is in the organizing committee of Taman Jurong National Day Event & he is the overall in-charge, so we're there to give him our support! 

Since I reach early, I walked around to see what's interesting

POSB Tent to encourage the residents on savings & stuffs. The mascot is there too. NEA tent is next to them & they're there to educate the residents on how to prevent Dengue Fever!

Saw the Lion Dance Troupe practicing before the actual performance (Video here)

The Goodie Bag collection point. Queue supper long!




Games from Uncle Ringo

Free Popcorn & Candy Floss stall




More game stalls mend by Secondary School students



The Arena


Volunteers distributing the party clappers & whistles for the MPs & the invited guests. Yes, those seats in "red" are for them & we're seated few seats behind them

Flags, party clapper, whistle the bell thingy are given FOC!

Being the organizer has it's advantage. Kogu took a bunch of balloons for Keeren!

The Sun is in our face!





The kiddo is happily playing with the whistle


This Neighborhood National Day event is like a mini-scale National Day Parade with uniform groups marching in & performances from different schools from Taman Jurong. DPM Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam - Guest of Honor is invited to inspect the uniform groups & to start off the march-in


Some performance by the school kids

While the performance is still going on, me & Nizam decide to go pick up out goodie bags with our $3 coupon purchased before the actual event. It includes a goodie bag & a McDonald's meal (McChicken, Apple Pie & mineral Water). Coupons are also available on the event day, but it's priced at $2 & it doesn't comes with goodie bag, McDonald's meal & lucky draw.

Hello Nizam, when is the last time u carry a Mcdonald's carton box huh? Alright, just in case you don't know yet, we (Most of us in A-Team, except Kogu & Jenny) used to work in McDonald's

Me carrying so many goodie bags cos it has a can of coke in there! Typical Obasan! =D

Stuffs in the goodie bag - fan & flag, coke (probably the only thing worth)


True Yoga & True Fitness pass & many other nonsense vouchers which most of the vouchers are reuse from Jurong Lake Run 2013!

Oh, look who's here! It's Mediacorp Artist, Vasantham Idol - Ebi Shankara. Follow him Twitter if you have not done so!


More performances follows after DPM  Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam's speach. There's also a Laser Show (video) & A modern dance segment. Keeren is so happy he starts dancing to the beat (video)!


Last but not least, Ebi Shankara is invited to sing along (video) & read out the Pledge with the residents before the finale - Fireworks! 

I only manage to video a short part of the fireworks (video), but Jenny's brother managed to video a longer version (video)

While we were waiting to Kogu after the event, the kiddo happily bullying Nizam (video)!
