mervlam said:apparently i got to hang around the vehicle column today at Nicoll Highway outside Suntec and i got to watch the GOH contingents match in from Beach Road Camp outside Raffles Hotel.
there are action outside the restricted zone.
open-minded people? there are many. i spoke with a Captain about the rehearsal scheduling of the vehicle columns outside Suntec.
yes i know that there is security at the cordoned-off venues, but there are many other things to look out for at the sidelines.
P.S. - I ever did all these NDP stuff back in 1999. I know what I can do and what I can't do.
Ayumi said:yeah...the goh is based at beach road camp...the rehearsals for the parade is at 3pm and the combined rehearsal is at 6pm... actually you can also walk to esplanade park to take some pictures of the show participants... or further down to marina promenade to take pictures of the parade participants...

Ayumi said:i check street directory
they will be passing by esplanade drive - raffles road intersection...
towards nicoll highway
confirmed...coz i was stuck on raffles road for over 20mins while the mobile column is moving along esplanade drive...
sehsuan said:not connaught drive - that was closed off for human usage today.
IF i'm not wrong (i could be, i didn't see it myself, just reasoning out..) some of the convoy went back to the starting area via the bridge outside the big durian
actual day, this should be the actual route taken by the vehicles to move to the Eastern celebration location. the convoy vehicles that turn out to the direction of fort canning, will head west.
SMC said:For those who want to shoot mobile column, aviod Anderson Bridge, the soldier on duty there said order(from which chief I don't know) was passed down to close the bridge well mobile column is crossing as it might collapse...... I am suggesting that they should close the river as well so that when the bridge collapse, it won't hit the boat.
Lenscapes said:the holding area for the mobile armoured column is on nicoll highway outside Suntec in the direction of esplanade.
