what national day means to me...

it's national day today!! happy birthday singapore!!! hee hee hee...actually am quite ashamed of myself because i feel that i only feel patriotic on 09 August every year..hahaha! but actually, national day has a different meaning for me since young...

Age 1 to Age 6... i cannot remember National Day at all..hahaha! sorry but i guess i must have spent it watching the national parade on tv...

Primary 1 to Primary 6... i can only remember that every year, we would have to make our own Singapore flag and then we would have to wave to the songs (Count on Me, Singapore, Stand up for Singapore, We Are Singapore, One People One Nation One Singapore...oh man, i missed those songs!!!) during National day... and i remembered i always want to be one of the flag wavers on some platform leading the student body..but that dream never come true..haha!

Secondary 1 to Secondary 4...nothing much was remembered here for national day...maybe only the holidays and the celebration that was held in school...and of course the songs singing...did i have to wear red on that day to school? *shrugs* cannot remember....

JC 1 to JC 2...most exciting National Day of my life..i was part of the pre-parade show and was in the cheerleading group...it was very fun and very interesting..we got to practice our routines and the national stadium is like our second home..but we get to know other people from different JCs and the army guys are pretty cool too..haha! one of them even fell in love with my friend..and my friend and i was soo mean to mislead our teacher-in-charge to think that he's interested in her instead...haha!

University Year 1 to Year 3...somehow, during these 3 years..i ALWAYS have free parade tickets..haha! i reckon this is because my JC friends are in army and then my brother was in army and so i always have parade tickets..so all i can remember is spending my time at the stadium, singing "Majulah Singapura" to the flying flag...

Now...national day is just another holiday for me... a holiday which i needed badly...because there's not much holiday from June to October...no more interest in the national parade..no more interest in the new national songs...i thought they sounded really weird...haha!maybe i'm getting old and nostalgic..haha!

oh well...majulah singapura!!!
