I for Incredible

Incredible!  That’s the right word for the past week.  The root word is credible – think credo – something that is possible to be believed.  Hence, incredible = hard to believe.  And that is much of my experience these past seven days.  Some of it immensely inane so it will not be included in this informative missive on incredulity.  We’ll incorporate only the inspiring incredibles, or at least one of them.

Last Saturday night, spur of the moment because the weather was clear, we set off with our house guest to enjoy the Singapore skyline at Level 33 – a microbrewery on the 33^rd floor of the Marina Bay Financial Centre and a good time on a typical evening.  But this wasn’t typical  This was an incredible evening!

 

We had no reservation, but we were incredibly blessed to get there early and get the best seats in the house.  Inside, air con, near the bar, with an unobstructed view of the National Day dress rehearsal taking place opposite.  Singapore celebrates their National Day on 9 August every year.  Weeks in advance, on Saturday nights, they do dry runs.  Complete and total dress rehearsals of the whole event.  So we got the thrill of jets thundering overhead, a Singapore flag fly-by courtesy of military helicopters, and a spectacular fireworks display.  Home brew, great nibbles, beautiful views – AND National Day festivities?  Truly incredible!
