Somehow I felt this year's crowd was smaller, or was the crowd control better? I was able to get a good spot at 7 plus even along the popular Esplanade side, and managed to get to City Hall MRT by 1am. Anyway this year's unlucky folks are those to the west. Then again the affected crowd was...

Oh I typically cycle from ECP up to CV using the park connectors. Quite a bumpy ride in some places, so I am not sure if road bikes are built for that. Part of the reason why I have a hybrid instead. Btw I tot Kallang have even more obstacles, including overhead bridges?

Wah so many people jumping on road bikes! I am still on my hybrid...very tempted to jump too but I dunt think I will dare ride on the road for a long long time. Riding road bikes on park connectors sounds like more damage to the bike than to myself? ;)

Yeah I am shocked there are just two! :D

Of course they are, but in all venues, they only play a minor supervisory role. The ones doing the actual screenings and vehicular traffic management are predominantly APOs. Not true in the most cases. The vast majority are regulars and NSFs. There might be one or two divisions deciding to...

I see nothing wrong with this question. You expect everyone to know that camera remotes exists? And that remotes can be modified to work with explosives? Just to clarify, the vast majority of the "security dudes" may not be volunteers, but neither are they the police. They are the Auxiliary...

Oh man that's disappointing. Seems really hard to catch the marching contingents this year! ;) So we will have to rely on your shots. Thanks for sharing them! :D

Many thanks for your input! Anyway the only solution is to try my luck and go there on my own, as I did last weekend. This is what I found: There are three marching out routes. The GOH went along St Andrew's Road, Connaught Road and Raffles Avenue. Half of the supporting contingents...

Can the public gain access?

Erm I think there is a miscom here haha. I am referring to the time when the marching contingents march off (as in...leave) the padang. Usually the GOH will all march past the president in the traditional way down St Andrew's Road towards the CBD, but the supporting contingents has had various...

Most welcome! I am surprised all of them matched past you? Tot they tend to march off in two separate directions with one headed towards Beach Road and the other towards your side? Was there a change?

Wow this is absolute brilliance! The MBS now presents a wonderful backdrop for the first time since the last parade at the padang five years ago!

Nice capture! Anyway can you tell me which are the contingents which passed you by from your side?

Anyway now that the event is over, I suppose some would have realised they do not exactly force people to leave when their time is up? Surprisingly, the place didn't get too crowded anyhow. Also, was any of you stopped from exploring the entire skypark, including the pool? I seem to get free...

The 6:30-9:30 slot was only offered for sale later on, when the first three slots were full. I doubt you will be allowed to stay beyond your timeslot, unless you are prepared to pay for the second slot! :D
