National Stadium
The impending closing of National Stadium caused me to think back on the events that were connected to me.
The first one being in 1980. When I was in Sec 1 and my school was performing a mass display event for the National Day Parade. We were training hard, undr sun and rain, for months! At least 8 months. While training, I had many first. Lying down on muddy soil, having someone to faint right infront of me, 'dance', doing silly steps and of course, making good friends. I almost missed the chance to perform because of Chicken pox, but finally was there. It was raining before the event. I still remember the excitement, the running in with music, remembering the marker. Wasted, no pic only.
Then there was Luis Paula crusade in 1987. Perhaps one of the biggest christian evangelistic event in Singapore. It was very moving to see so many people moving forward when the altar call was made. My wife responded to God duirng that event too.
Then there was when I led my first form class to the place. They were doing the plate that changes pattern. It was fun.
And the first SYF for West Spring Band. Emotional event.
I kinda of sad to hear a historical monument is going to be torn down. So, today, we went down to have a look.... haha.
Thank God for the memory.
