i wanted to blog today. i already uploaded all the photos, was about to edit them but i decided to catch the national day parade instead.
this year's national day parade was the same like every other but then i make it a point to watch it every year with my family. i love especially the march in section where you have all the different contingents marching in with pride. it just looks really cool. but i notice something off this year. every year, the president would like walk and inspect the troops. he would stop randomly at some guy and chit chat about god knows what, maybe about what the soldier felt regarding Lindsay Lohan mild jail sentence perhaps, but somehow this year i guess he just wasnt in a chit chat mood. he just stood on the back of a jeep and wave. boring la like that!! haha!
i know a lot of people think watching the national day parade is like lame but then i donno why i kinda like it. that's like once a year for like 2 hours i feel all patriotic. i sing along to the songs and even sing the national anthem. you know, seeing all the people at the Padang this year singing along gives me this heart warming feeling. especially when Sezairi sang We Will Get There and Kit Chan sang Home. i got goosebumps!!!
you know what, i secretly am proud to be a singaporean! unless of course, there's a fucking huge influx of foreigners in the near future, then thank god my parents have properties overseas :)
anyhow,
have a happy national day everyone!
back work tmr. bleah!
