Happy Birthday, Singapore!

National Day is here and it marks the 48th birthday for Singapore. Happy Birthday, Singapore!

Have no chance to be at the parade to enjoy the celebration with the lucky ones. But I am just as glad that I can be home on this day. For most of the years, I am able to watch some of the elements of the parade at the comfort of my place. For example, the helicopters with the National Flag, the planes doing stunts and even the fireworks. But with more high rise buildings, the view of the spectacular fireworks is being blocked!

The best part I love about the parade is definitely the singing part when everyone sang to the national day song. One of my favourite song is "Count on me, Singapore". Extracts of the song as follows:

There is something down the road that we can strive for

We are told no dream's too bold that we can't try for

There's a spirit in the air, it's a feeling we all share

We're going to build a better life, for you and me

We can achieve, we can achieve

An inspiring song not only for the nation, and it can be applied to each individual. Everyone should have a dream and everyone should chase after his/her dream. Oh man, at times, singing national day songs on national day does make me emotional. Anyway, here are some of the photos I took on this special day from home:

And finally, Smurfs are here to celebrate with us as well... Happy Birthday, my dear Country, my Singapore!
