I'm reviving my blog for english ace.. the only reason why im doing so perhaps.. haha :D
So as the national day parade 2010 whizzes past on 9th August 2010, you saw the event take shape before your very eyes.

On the actual day itself, the whole nation gathers to watch - either at the venue or live on TV - favorites like the march past, aerial flight past, armored vehicles rolling down the streets, the NDP show and of course the favorite, the fireworks.

Although most of the people in my neighborhood seemed to take the Monday as any other normal day, I was full of pride and nevertheless, never more enthusiastic to celebrate this national day. To me, it was a once in a year kind of event and this was an event unlike no other - an event that only we, as true Singaporeans could enjoy and appreciate. The importance was not behind the numerous performances put up on that day, but it showed the success that S'pore had now after all the hard work put in by many in Singapore's journey right after its independence.

Furthermore, I find performances and the annual ndp parade meaningful as Singaporeans who were working or living abroad could be reminded of Singapore through the performances and it would invoke sentimental emotions in them and also their long lost patriotism for Singapore, and that Singapore will always be their homeland and they will always belong in Singapore wherever they are. Memories of Singapore will also be part of them.. wherever they stay :D

45 years of Nation Building, it's been marvellous.. for this place where I call HOME.
Celebrating Singapore's birthday for the 14th time.. and counting (:
Happy 45th birthday Singapore! ^^
