Yup,

Today's a very special day for all Singaporeans, it's Singapore's Birthday! She's 40 years old now, and still going as strong as ever. Too bad i'm not here at the moment to share the joyous ocassion with everyone of you.

Come to think of it, it's the first time ever that i'm out of the country on her birthday. Hmm.. Most pobably for the next 3 years too...Well, what i can say is, for some of you who are in Singapore now, you'll think National Day as nothing much other than a public holiday. There seems to be not much significance to it since it's being celebrated everywhere. I used to be like that too. But now, celebrating National Day while being out of the country takes a whole new meeaning altogether. You won't feel the ambience in other countries; You won't have a chance to see the celebrations; You won't have a chance to be proud that it's her fortieth birthday and it had been such a long journey she had taken from the past to the present. (Of course you won't experience the public holiday too, lol) All you can is sit back and watch in a foreign land as the nation celebrates her birthday.

Well, I used to take National Day for granted because year in, year out, we've been celebrating it. Now that i'm in a foreign land, i've definitely appreciate what Singapore has gone through to be what she symbolises today...

Cheerios and Cya
