Today is National Day!
Rawr. Red shirts, national flags, pledge moment, singing songs, NDP parades and much more.
Think about it... 44 years since Singapore got ejected out of Malaysia.
I know I've only been here for 16 years. Some people might say that I've missed the hard times, missed all the strife and turmoil. I guess they are right. But it doesn't take huge suffering for someone to feel grateful to the country right?
I think Singapore is really something. Singaporeans are really something. We are successful and efficient, but we complain about many things. We study and learn in a safe, conducive environment and we say that the pressure is too much. Heck, we even invent our own culture (think Merlion). We take being light-hearted and funny seriously.
Well, thanks Singapore for being my home!
Won't wish for another! (:
