National Day Parade (NDP) Singapore 2015 on 1 Aug (Preview) and 9 Aug (Actual)

NDP 2015 ballot is out. For those who wants to go to the event, it is time to apply for ballot here at NDP.ORG.

-
It is open to Singaporeans and Permanent Residents but higher balloting chance for Singaporeans, then PRs and last, to previous NDP attendees.
-
Baby or toddler (regardless of age) needs ticket. For a family of four, e.g. couple and their 3 yo and 3 months old babies, they will need four tickets.
-
Ballot for tickets can be made in either 2 tickets, 4 and 6 tickets selections. The higher the number of tickets applied, the less likely you will secure one.
-
There are two places to attend to NDP celebration, e.g. The Padang and Marina floating platform.
-

NDP 2015 will be held at The Padang or Marina Floating platform.

 -
Application for the ballot can be done at NDP website,  AXS/SAM machines, or via SMS. For SMS mode, refer to NDP site instruction. Each NRIC holder will be able to apply once. To increase the chance, I guess you can ask other family members to apply too. I don't think our family members will be so lucky to get tickets simultaneously. If that happens, I guess you can NDP Hotline: 1800 637 2015 to return the excess tickets so that other family units can have them instead.

We are so sad that we will not be able to attend this year's NDP to mark also SG50. I was planning for a family of four with our daughter and son but the latter will only be 7 months and it will be difficult to have him there.
-
I wonder if any families are planning to bring their infants there? I need to learn from them how to cope.
-
This year, we will be seated in our cozy living room watching NDP live from TV and hearing the audible booming and crackling of fireworks later.
-
Hopefully in near future we will be able to publish photos of NDP of our own :)
