43rd National Day

It's our country's 43rd birthday today!!! Went to the Singapore Philatelic Musuem with Karel in the afternoon as they are having Open house. Waited at City Hall MRT station and could see the crowd forming as people gathered to go to the National Day Parade Show.

Though the musuem was pretty small, but there was quite a collection of stamps from different countries. Bought a first day cover showing different festivals in Singapore (Issued on 29 Feb 2008) and another commemarative National Day first day cover with the designer for the stamp offering his signature.

As we were leaving the musuem, it started drizzling and I really sympathise with the performers for the NDP as it will be quite challenging to perform when the grounds are wet.
