i just spent the past hour and a half watching NDP live online. and my gosh... i miss singapore so much! it's my second year living abroad but i think last year i was busy playing mahjong or something, so i didn't feel like i missed out on anything. this year, watching the national day parade and listening to all the national day songs make me miss home like mad. the theme song this year was only so-so though.. maybe because i'm not corianne may's biggest fan(to be honest, i'm not even a fan). but when kit chan appeared and started singing 'home'... i cried. it's the best national day song ever and even i will feel all patriotic and pro-singapore when i hear it every national day. just now, it was the first time i'm actually touched by the song. even the lyrics mean so much more.
2010's parade is cool.. got mobile column! and the fireworks so pretty.. especially when the camera shows the skyline. there's almost fireworks from every major building within city hall and marina area. and all the heartland venues also.. my gosh, the crowd looks huge man. now i have this gigantic craving for mee soto, prata, ayam penyat and ba chor mee. i want to go home......
singapore is home, truly.. where my senses tell me. this is where i won't be alone. for this is where i know i'm home. happy 45th birthday singapore!
