I thought the NDP this year was pretty engaging and yes, better than last year. Its smaller in scale (less than half of the audiences allowed in good old National Stadium) and more lightings and new programs thrown in. Less typical, I must say.
However, what particularly got me, was the two national day songs written by Jimmy Ye.
