When did August creep in? Yikes...
Well today Singapore celebrated its 45th birthday in her usual fashion.. blowing up billions of taxpayer's money into the sky but hey, I'm not complaining..
we'll just dig into the reserves on a rainy day.. or possibly from the petty cashbox or something.. But to catch that brilliant man LKY weeping every national day is priceless.
Don't get me wrong.. i think he is a genius. He deserves it..
Live the dream fly our flag.. hmmm.. who came up with that anyway..
I'm sure the old folks would say that today isn't exactly the day Singapore gained independence.. More like a divorce anniversary when we split up with our northern counterparts. And of course some of us would like to debate with them and so forth.. I wouldn't bother.
I personally think the old folks did more nation building than anyone of my generation.
They did it with the blood and sweat. My dear senior citizens of Singapore, the floor is yours..
And to think most of them are spending the remaining golden years in an old folks home..tsk tsk.. Sad sad..
The realistic world aside, I must say that it's been quite the entertaining parade.
I am a sucker when it comes to parades. The whole idea of displaying patriotism through synchronized marching in perfect formed files and a display of force multipliers.. Makes me want to die for my country.. ha ha ha.. I mean seriously.. I would die for my country. If country defines my family and friends.. I'd take a bullet for you anytime.
Very contrasting views coming from a Reservist platoon commander who would actually ask his men to pack a set of civilian clothings in our field packs just in case we go to war..
Which reminds me, I think I need to exclude that last order the next in camp.
Sorry we haven't been updating much on our blog.. the camera is on loan and life has been sucky so there isn't really much to share. Plus the fact that I am working office hours now, I am no lesser a robot like you guys.. I HATE office hours!!
I'll try my best to update and I am definitely not speaking on behalf of Ngoi.. I am sure you guys know the ratio of "yeazid to Ngoi" blog entries. She will blog most prolly next year.
So to Ngoi fans.. i suggest you find a better blog to read.
Ok lah..
Happy National Day to all of you.
On a semi-serious note, May the foreign talents contribute to our GDP and may S'pore make more Money..
On a serious note, may we all of us integrate better and share a common language cause Dude!! I don't understand what the hell you are talking sometimes..
I not Ayzid and he is not Yanton...
its yeazid and Anton.
And to my fellow muslim friends and families..
Have a good fasting month ahead.
Pesudo Cheers!!
Amin.
