One of my favorite National Day memories was watching fireworks at Marina Barrage with friends. We brought snacks and enjoyed the aerial displays and fireworks under the open sky. The energy and unity of everyone there made it a truly special night.
I didn’t manage to get NDP tickets this year, but with live screenings at places like Sports Hub and Marina Barrage, I’m still looking forward to the celebrations. From museum exhibits to the Jewel light show, there’s so much happening all over Singapore—it’s a great way to feel the festive spirit!

也许我不是生来就在新加坡，因为我几乎有1/3的时间是在新加坡之外度过的。甚至我也失去了我的新加坡身份。每个人都会认为我来自台湾、香港、菲律宾、泰国等，但从来不是新加坡人。[Facepalm]🤦♀️😓😬🙄
当我在日本的时候，仅仅因为我不会说日语，当地人就认为我是日本人，用他们的母语和我说话。我不得不阻止他们，告诉他们我来自新加坡，他们说得很慢。😂😂🤭😇
好的一面是，由于我独特的身份，我倾向于从新加坡航空公司得到更好的服务，因为我不会说新加坡英语。😂😇🤣[LOL]

My family and I hope to be among the first 5,000 adventurers to complete the trail so that we can all receive the cherished NDP Fun Pack. This is a simple yet powerful reminder that we do not just celebrate our independence, we honour our shared journey.
Singapore is only 60 years young but we are the embodiment of what it means to turn adversity into ambition, hard work to success.
So let's walk, let's celebrate and remember Happy SG Singapore, you are always my home, my country. @Tiger_SG @Tiger_comments @TigerStars
This year I plan to visit the national museum. It had has a long history too. Another reason is because I was part of the construction of the building renovation.
The most memorable National Day celebration to me was when it was the first time I brought my parents to Marina Bay to watch the fireworks. It was 10 years ago where my parents are still strong and younger. They could walk around and withstand the madness of the crowd. My father loved it. But I can’t do this anymore due to their health

My most memorable has to be being at the stadium live when I was primary 5! It is a long time ago and it was meant as part of national education but hey, nothing beats the real deal! The real deal has always been being right in the heart of the celebration at Padang or stadium with the thousands of live crowd clapping and singing along. I have been looking forward to revisiting that magical experience but the NDP tickets have been hard to come by. They are in high demand and luck has not been on my side to getting the tickets, especially when I want enough tickets to go with my family!

由于适逢周末，我们也可以从股市中休息一下，享受庆祝活动。
晚上我会带我的家人去码头拦河坝。那里有足够的空间让孩子们跑来跑去。
我会很高兴看到那个地方的每个人都站起来，一起重温我们的誓言。这将是另一种令人敬畏的感觉。
虽然我没有买到任何NDP的票，但和家人在一起就是这个国家。
展望下一个60年[Happy]
Support local support SG.. let's go, Singaporean, show to the world ,our Singapore our NDP our SG60..( Pls don't go Malaysia during SG NDP... .. be a Singaporean not a Malaysian)
說到最難忘的國慶慶祝，其實是幾年前在住家樓下組屋草場的鄰里活動。那年雖然沒去市中心，但一整晚鄰居們一起升旗、唱國歌、看直播，還有自家人煮的咖喱和炒米粉，氣氛特別溫暖。那一刻真的感受到，國慶不一定要去大場面，小小角落也能很有“新加坡味”。
至於NDP門票……很可惜，今年沒抽中。不過也習慣了，畢竟票一直很難抽。我反而覺得這也是一個契機，讓我探索其他不一樣的慶祝方式，比如跟家人一起在濱海灣野餐、或者參加社區放映會，也是種享受國慶的方式。
