1) Edgar, that scary AF robot

This year saw the presence of a robot host, Edgar, which was created by Nanyang Technological University.

He looks like he is about to murder everyone.

And take over next year's show.

Be very afraid, Singaporeans.

3) The cute duet from the military tattoo

This year, Military Expert 1 Isabelle Wong and Senior Staff Sergeant Audi Hariz Sarman sang We Are One Singapore, which hit the right note with some.

Singapore's got talent, anyone?

5) The scariest "terrorists" and "hacker" you've seen on live television

Oh wait, a simulated terrorist attack! Now, this should be getting interesting.

Rehearsed thugs came on the scene to threaten anyone that stands in their path, looking seedy and dangerous.

Well, for a couple of minutes at least.

As part of the simulation, two children were involved in the skit, being supposedly held hostage by their kidnappers.

For some reason, kids this year seem to have the guts to do everything, including picking up ammunition rounds.

In all honesty, though, the kids probably had the most convincing acting skills amongst all the actors involved.

Or at least, better than this guy who managed to delay dying for a few seconds.

And of course, the bad guys lose. Fast.

7) Hosts in dresses with faces, telling everyone (and a confused PM Lee) to shout yam seng

While we're not too sure what the dresses with faces had to do with the water parade, we're pretty sure PM Lee was a little puzzled too.

9) The aerial performance which was a metaphor for making babies

Gorgeous people, flying through the air, connecting hands together sweetly, causing a huge bird to appear. It was later confirmed by the narrator to be a stork.

Anddddddd here comes a bun in the oven.

11) Multi-cultural jam

Lip syncing was a big part of the show, and unfortunately, it was painfully obvious for some, including Brian Richmond.

Otherwise, however, this was a rather sweet part of the show, demonstrating our multicultural roots; singer Rahimah Rahim carried a Chinese song with grace, and her fabulous energy despite being in her 60s made her wonderful to watch.

But of course, we all know the ultimate showstopper, Mary Ho, the 81-year-old grandma who can play a mean guitar like she's 21.

Boy, did she become the role model for everyone.

13)The Curry Puff Float 

The biggest curry puff we could ever hope to feast on.

15) And that's a wrap for this year's NDP... .which is the last one Tony Tan will attend as President:

And the last time we can speculate what he said during inspection.

And rehash that one joke.
