On National Day this year (a Sunday), we left church after worship and before sermon, for Marina Barrage, so as to avoid traffic jam, get a close enough parking lot, and a good spot to catch the Black Knights's aerobatics show.
We reached Marina Barrage at about 10am, and there was already a huge crowd, but we still managed to find a good spot.
Weather was so much better than Saturday, when it rained non-stop. But it was hot and humid. Hardly an breeze. Didn't help that we were on the roof top.
There were lots of activities around - stalls selling food, clothes, toys, and even soap; and a kids activities around with a huge bouncy castle and train rides.
The crowd swelled even more just before noon, as everybody got ready for the start of the show.
It was a spectacular show, and the planes came so close to us. Glad we came for this once-in-50-years public performance.
But halfway through the show, Aaron started to fizzle out ..... too hot ...
And Nadine had a melt-down, wailed and screamed, wanting to go home. Poor girl, the sun really got to her. Didn't help that she was not feeling well.
This is the sea of red streaming out down from the rooftop of the Barrage.
Although the experience was marred by Nadine's melt-down, it was still a worthwhile experience. Will certainly do it again in future!
