singapore's day.

happy 42nd national day, SINGAPORE!

"Singapore, our homeland
it's here that we belong
all of us united
one people marching on..."

i miss those polka dots school days singing at the top of my lungs to those patriotic songs with my close friends by my side.
that kind of moment made me realised that i love Singapore.

i have a few of my favourites.
where i belong.
home.
Singapore town.
and the classics like :
count on me Singapore,
one people, one nation, one Singapore
stand up for Singapore.

since primary school, we are to made to sing those songs every single year.
how can we not be familiar to them?
what i like about national day was that we get to watch a concert and get to go home earlier.
annnd ohhhhh how can i forget the souvenirs!
the school will always think of something useful for their students.
for eg, a file, highlighters, pens, etc.

now that i'm not singing the national anthem,
i miss it.
not forget the pledge taking.
oh yes,
there were 2 years when i lead the school in the pledge as i was the parade commander.
those were the days when i love giving commands to the juniors.

i am proud to have a pink identification card.
Singaporean.
i realised we as a Singaporeans, are taking our country for granted.
i'll list 2 examples.

firstly,
we have our public transport.
ok lah, maybe we had some bad experience waiting for the bus or maybe being stuck like sardines and what's worst, you can smell other's BodyOdour.
but think about it,
try taking other country's transportation.
the bus stop is not like a bus stop,
the waiting time is super long, (once you missed it, you must have a lot of patience to wait for the another)
the transportation is badly littered.

our buses have tvmobile.
how cool is that?
we tap our ezlink when boarding and alighting.

MRT: Most Reliable Transport (i got this term from perfect 10)
it will only be reliable when no one commit suicide.
if not, you will be stuck in the train and you just have to stay calm and get stared uncomfortably by the person sitting across you.

then BMW,
we all have BMW.
that is Bus Mrt Walk (i got it from my previous director)
haha.

i think our public transport are doing a fine job.
there are still some areas to be improve.
one eg,
the mrt and bus interchange's toilets.
i always get disgusted whenever i visit them.

and and and, please knock some sense to some reckless taxi drivers that safety first!

secondly,
Singapore is a green city.
please refrain from littering!
it would add an ugly sight to the environment.
be responsible and walk to the next nearest rubbish bin to throw your unused stuffs.
we are investing so much in rubbish bins so why litter?
i am not sorry for those who got caught from littering and had to do corrective work order.
if we are not taking care of Singapore's cleanliness,
the doctors will be very happy as business will be good for them.
people will prone to diseases.

think long term.
be grateful, please.

the things that Singaporeans love to do most:
- complaints
- queue
- being a 'k-po' (busybody)

everything doesn't go your way,
you complaint.

you see a line of people,
you join them because you just don't want to lose out.
free mah, line up lor.

we just can't help it being 'k-po'.
when there's an accident on the road,
drivers would just slow down just to see it.
don't deny it, you wouldn't want a glimpse of it?
a-ha! i caught you.
i admit, i'm also one of the 'k-po' driver.
like i said, i can't help it lah.

we are still a young nation.
we have more to look forward to.
just wait and see.
=)

i love Singapore!

i'm gonna celebrate the national day with my family members by watching the parade on tv and having belgium chocolate ice cream.
i won't be seeing the partner as he is working.

we ate the ice cream again!
this time we tried the different flavours.
dino milo, belgium chocolate, horlicks and cookies & cream.
we brought along my sisters.
they seemed to enjoy the ice cream and waffles.
*ps. horlicks is not nice.
haha.

the partner came over and i can't stop smiling
as i've been missing him terribly.
i even dream of him.
about something silly, nothing of erotic sort.
even though today,
he doesn't look that charming because he was tired and sweaty,
i still love to look at him.
he gives me a sense of peacefulness.
and the way he looked at me,
makes me feel blessed.

i came across a quiz.
which of these are most important to you?
1. career
2. education
3. marriage
4. sleep
5. friends
6. music

in fact all are important,
career = $
education = knowledge
marriage = commitment
sleep = rest
friends = enjoy
music = relax

but i had to choose 1.

i chose marriage.
why?
i see happiness in marriage.
the way people stay in love amazed me.
the feeling is overwhelming that it automatically makes me smile.
of course,
marriage couples are bound to have disagreements that will occur to arguments that may end up in fights.
it's how both of you settle and resolve it.
those unpleasant stuffs will make you realised how much you really love your partner.
i have faith in you.
i have faith in us.

thanks for loving me with all your heart.
i love you sweetheart,
with all of mine.
