Catching segments of the NDP, people like Joshua Wan and Phoon Yew Tien must be feeling extremely proud at this very moment.

Why?

Because Joshua Wan is the music composer for this year's NDP.

Because Phoon Yew Tien re-arranged the National Anthem, which was subsequently recorded by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Mr Lim Yau.

And I feel so jealous that I am stuck in the far end of Singapore doing sai kang for the armour regiments.

The greatest dream is to let my music be heard by Singaporeans, and to know that the stuff that I write contribute to the success of the performance which will leave many memories in those who watch it.

But being an armoured pioneer, I doubt I can get very far.

If only I am in MDC, who are at the frontline of the parade's show segment.

I saw the SYO on the stage. I think I caught sight of Emz in the double bass section, standing at the farthest right of the conductor's view of the orchestra during the playing of the National Anthem. Emz, do correct me if I'm wrong.
