We wanted to view the parade from Merlion Park this year. However, the whole place was denied entry at around 615pm. The pedestrian path along the Esplanade Drive was jam packed with human crowd. We moved along the Anderson Bridge next, and made a quick decision to stay put at the bridge. Luckily, our decision was wise & sound as the police stopped further entry to the bridge after that.

The fireworks display (so near yet so far...)
Did we say the pledge at 822pm? We didnt as we were already walking along Boat Quay heading towards Central. We had simple Japanese-style western food at Ma Maison. Good service, good food, good ambience... By the time we arrived home, it was 10 min before 11pm.
Happy 44th Birthday, Singapore!
