There was excitement everywhere in the air. Hundreds of P5 students streamed into the floating platform. We had already been given our goody bags and our KFC Zinger Burger in school. As my friends and I sat in our assigned zones, we looked around us. There was a big EYE , the platform and a few boats. We were seated in the middle and had a view of the whole complex. While we waited for the show to begin, we all felt exhilarated."3...2...1!" These three big words soon appeared on the Eye. The show had started!!! Four TV celebrities then came out dancing, waving their hands. They were the hosts of that night's performance. A helicopter hovered above the stadium, and dropped the parachuters, who were known to be the Red Lions. There was nothing much after the parachute performance, but in the middle, it soon got very thrilling. Suddenly, a big newsflash appeared on the screen. It read: "Singapore under terrorist threat." Out of the blue, the bomb squad came charging, and the Civil Defence trucks, cars and buses 
rolled in. Next, two navy patrol boats chased after two "terrorists" on jet-skis. When they got close enough, the boats fired blank machine gun shots. The "terrorists" soon surrendered. The navy was applauded for their 'successful capture of the terrorists'. We were alerted to another newsflash - about a mine discovery and to that, the total defence responded without delay. A double-blade helicopter whizzed by and once it was close enough to the water, it dropped about half a dozen divers.

They fired blank shots in the air too. Then came the two apaches. They were majestic flying black objects, stealthly flying and hovering in the vast sky. The next segment of the show was all about dancing, singing and marching. There were acrobatics, drummers and singers.
Now, the show was coming to an end and without warning, droplets of rain started falling down from the sky! As quick as lightning, I grabbed my poncho from the floor and covered myself. I found that my poncho was very long, so I decided to cover my bag too. But my attempt was in vain. The students in front of us unexpectedly 
pointed behind and a few seconds after...a heavy shower of rainfall hit me on the face! This was no ordinary rain. It was so heavy that even my poncho could not shield my whole body! My bag was also soaked wet. As we were about to sing the National Anthem to bring the show to an end, water was rising eveywhere! The chairs were flooded, the drains became "trenches" and the stairs became cascading waterfall! That night when we reached our school, we were already soaked to the bone.
