This year, we didn't manage to score tickets to the National Day Parade. Boo. I'm disappointed because both kids are of suitable age to enjoy the parade, but last Saturday, we randomly made an impromptu decision to head out to catch what we could of the rehearsals without tickets.

While we could only view some aircraft, the signature giant flag and the fireworks (partially blocked from the Marina Barrage), I'm still thankful that we have the option of celebrating from the off-side; alongside fellow Singaporeans who were much more prepared than we were - picnic (food and mats), games (balls, kites, dogs) - and feel extremely happy in the beautiful weather we enjoyed that day along with the sometimes-taken-for-granted safety and comfort of this place we call, home with my family who mean the world to me.
Sometimes, it's these unplanned sessions that warrant the most satisfaction and fun, just because.
