Avengers and Naruto
One of the themes played in the lead-up to the mobile column sounded like the iconic Avengers theme where they all came out of portals during Endgame.
And people noticed.
IS IT CHEATING IT THEY USE AVENGERS PORTAL MUSIC???! #NDP2019

Performance
Other immensely interesting items were the video packages from Singasporeans talking about the real issues they faced and had to overcome.
Including a heartwrenching piece about a nurse who served at the height of the HIV epidemic.
“the virus (HIV) does not discriminate, but humans do” action for aids represent. amazing words, amazing work #ndp2019 pic.twitter.com/6hd52kwGbO

All of the pieces were great.
The video packages were punctuated by an awesome music performance by, among others, rappers Fariz Jabba and Yung Raja.
With an equally charismatic performance by Danial "Wheelsmith" Bawthan, who had a great video package as well.
They then transitioned into a rousing rendition of "Stand up for Singapore".
Also, giant lion.

The pledge
Over the backdrop of exploding fireworks, Ramli Sarip gave his very own spin to the pledge.
Ramli Sarip’s voice is so soulful ❤️❤️❤️ —- #OurSingapore #NDP2019 #singapore #singaporenationalday
— Island Diva 🏝️ (@syzzlyn) August 9, 2019
Ramli Sarip’s rendition of our National Anthem is moving and awesome. It is best version of Majulah Singapura I’ve heard in a while.#ndp #ndp2019 #GrumpyUnclesCallNDP #TogetherWeGrumpy pic.twitter.com/8z5mKi5km9
— mrbrown (@mrbrown) August 9, 2019
I hope that right now, the people who took the pledge really weighed the words while reciting it #ndp2019

Here's an excellent compilation piece by Tedd Jong with Ramli Sarip's Majulah Singapura.
Auntie slapping auntie
The National Day parade was good, while there were some parts people might not particularly want to revisit again, the video packages were top notch and the Merdeka generation tribute was really tastefully done.
And the thing is, the people were enthralled, perhaps none more so than this auntie who was watching the Red Lions.
Hahahahaha this auntie too excited till she hit the auntie in front 😂 #OurSingapore #NDP2019 pic.twitter.com/OQS2TaxHW8
