What does it mean to be Singaporean? / 8/08/2006 06:06:00 PM

Hmm. Interesting title. I decided to do a bit of reflection b4 Singapore's b'dae tmw (: Yep this was partly spearheaded by ms ek! I am going to watch the national day rally speech later so I will update my blog after that.

Seriously, I'm proud to be a Singaporean. Do unto others what you want others to do unto you. I guess the only way I can repay what my nation has given me is to serve in the army and to be in the teaching sector. My undying love for teaching, I must say (: I think being a Singaporean means being part of a community. We all have one common goal: Our global city, our home. What does it really mean? It reflects clearly that all citizens should have a stake in our nation, as quoted by Minister Mah Bow Tan on the theme this year. We need to review what we have done over the past 41 years so that we can improve ourselves.

From a fishing village, to a modernised city. She has changed and upgraded herself tremendously through numerous turmoils. Riots, Sars, Economic crisis - Singapore has been through all these. Though we may only be 41, but our history remains rich and strong. Our roots are always rooted to our country, our Singapore.

Patriosim to Singapore, my motherland, your motherland. She has given to us many, far too much for us to repay. Our founding fathers have left us with a plot of land that we call home. It is our responsibility to uphold the virtues that we have developed over the years. The future lies in our hands, Singapore! If we do not care about Singapore, no one would! I urge all youth to fight for the future for a better tomorrow!

Everyone please watch the rally message. It should be quite meaningful. Happy early national day everyone (: Singapore, I <333 you!


/ believe in wonderland,
with you in my mind
it's not that hard to believe
i'm in wonderland
and that's where I am
only a place to where we know
and never escape into reality
plunge into a fantasy

just about my love
