9th August - National day

Happy birthday Singapore.

Once again..I can only send you my warmest wishes from faraway. Thank you for being the perfect place for me to grow up, thank you for being that small, small island that doesn't have obscure corners and that travelling from one end to another can be achieved within a day.

Thank you giving my parents opportunities because if not, I wouldn't be able to follow my dreams. Thank you for having ol' so cheap yet scrumptious food. Thank you for providing the environment where i've made so many good friends.

I hope it'll be another fantastic year for you.

Oh yes. It's national day today ain't it? It's always like that. I think Singapore always has beautiful weather on National day and Melbourne is strangely always freezing cold on the 9th of August. I remember that for the last two years Melbourne's always been pouring even if the days before was always bright and warm...like this year again.

However, because we don't have a public holiday even though there are so many Singaporeans here...every other Singaporean I've spoken to was going to dress in red and white today. Ok..maybe not all of us are in red and white..at least my cousin, her friends and I are. I even had a white scarf. hee.

I'll be attempting another parade webcast this year.

Hopefully I might be able to watch the fly past this year.

Well.. that said

Happy birthday Singapore
Happy birthdy Gloria
