Happy Belated Birthday, Singapore.
Gee... the wishes came a bit late, and as u can guess from my tone, i don't sound too excited by National Day.
At least, not initially. Firstly, I'm on holiday everyday now, and National Day as a public holiday doesn't excite me. Secondly, I seriously still dunno why Kaira Gong is selected to sing this year's song when she's just a newcomer, thus I'm not really paying much attention to this year's National Day songs. And lastly, National Day seems rather fake this year to me... I just can't feel the mood this year despite the pap hanging so many flags in my neighbourhood and on my blk becoz no one is hanging. Everything just seems so... u noe. x_X
Nonetheless, I am still moved when I see kaira's performance at the end as well as those fireworks in the sky. I'm suddenly reminded of my family and my friends. Yep. And I felt a bit emotional, esp when I heard "Home" again... "This is home, truly, where I know I must be." I'm reminded once again to treasure everyone around me before I lose the chance to do so.
Here's some inspiring words from the late David Marshall, in an exclusive interview done by a blogger some years back. Hope it'll inspire you too, especially when you have stepped/are stepping into a new phase of life like me too.
