National Day Parade 2006

It's National Day! Just finished watching the parade at 8pm.

A bit of nostalgia as this is the last time they are having it at the National Stadium at Kallang (they are pulling it down!). Still remember the days (vaguely though) when I used to attend it...when Samuel Chong was still the host at that time. Was really young then and didn't feel the significance of it. But now, I can understand better & I do feel a sense of patriotism towards Singapore (it's not just during this period you know).
You can see it especially in my line of work - preserving Singapore's heritage. ;P Ok, this was discovered when I started work & I realised that I enjoyed heritage work & I feel strongly about it.

My favourite national day song? Count on me Singapore. The words are so meaningful, expressing what Singapore has gone through in becoming an independent nation, surviving the odds & criticism of others. and the "count on me" part gives you the sense that you are part of it.
