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!

Maybe I m not born to be in SG as I spent almost 1/3 of my life outside of SG. Even I have lost my Singaporean identity. Everyone will thought I m from Taiwan, HK, phillipines, Thailand etc but never Singaporean. [Facepalm]🤦♀️😓😬🙄
When I was in Japan, just because I speak little Japanese, the local thought I m a jap n speak to me in their native language. I have to stop them and told them I m from SG that they speak slowly. 😂😂🤭😇
On the brighter side, due to my unique identity, I tend to have better service from Singapore Airlines as I don’t speak Singlish. 😂😇🤣[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!
@Tiger_SG
As it falls on a weekend, we can also take a break from the stock market and enjoy the celebration.
I will be bring my family to Marina Barrage in the evening. There are plenty of space there for the children to run around.
I will be awesome to see everyone in that place to stand up and refresh our pledge together. This will be another awesome feeling.
Although I didn't get any tickets for the NDP, being here with the family is where the nation is.
Looking forward for another 60 years [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)
说到最难忘的国庆庆祝，其实是几年前在住家楼下组屋草场的邻里活动。那年虽然没去市中心，但一整晚邻居们一起升旗、唱国歌、看直播，还有自家人煮的咖喱和炒米粉，气氛特别温暖。那一刻真的感受到，国庆不一定要去大场面，小小角落也能很有“新加坡味”。
至于NDP门票……很可惜，今年没抽中。不过也习惯了，毕竟票一直很难抽。我反而觉得这也是一个契机，让我探索其他不一样的庆祝方式，比如跟家人一起在滨海湾野餐、或者参加社区放映会，也是种享受国庆的方式。
