Today March 17 is St Patrick’s Day, an Irish festival. Although not celebrated nor is it a holiday here in Singapore, the Irish community here do get together on a Sunday before the actual day for a street parade with participants from school bands, uniform groups and of course Stormtroopers.

3. Shhh… the baby sleeping.

Cool Badges ^^ Made specially for today?
the red one is our garrison patch. the green one is the 501st Legion St Patrick’s Day patch.

Now this is something I have never seen here in the US. I bet you all had a blast with this. I was impressed that you went so far as to make sure you had a bit of green on with the patches. Nice touch!
