Happy Birthday Singapore!

MAJULAH SINGAPURA
Mari kita rakyat Singapura
Sama-sama menuju bahagia
Cita-cita kita yang mulia
Berjaya Singapura

Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura

Our Pledge
We, the citizens of Singapore,
pledge ourselves as one united people,
regardless of race, language or religion,
to build a democratic society
based on justice and equality
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and
progress for our nation.

Something about these two really evokes a sense of nostalgia in me. Maybe coz we no longer sing the anthem nor say the pledge now and i really missed those days in sec school and JC.

The NDP was great and the fireworks were so pretty. Except that i was disappointed that i could only see them on the TV. And it was quite sad that the National Stadium is going to be torn down. I was glad that I caught the NDP at the National Stadium before. The atmostphere at the scene is so different from watching NDP at home. I really think all Singaporeans should watch NDP at least once. Not that i am very patrotic, i cannot stand some things in Singapore and i really hope to be able to get out as soon as i can. But still, i am very grateful to the place for giving me the life that i have now.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the next NDP with prettier stuff. Hopefully i will remember to ballot for the tickets this time.
