Mighty Mighty Evening!! Happy 44th Birthday Singapore ;)

Finally settled down infront of my lappy to write about my very own country Singapore after watching colourful NDP 2009 and saying out the pledge together with the nationwide @ 8.22pm.. It gives me a sense of satisfaction and proud to be a Singaporean… Many many love you Singapore..

Yippidi!! Finally today Singapore is celebrating its 44th yr of Independence, young & energetic which is something am really proud off! Very much looking forward the NDP today… ;) Following is this yr’s theme song for our very own National Day by Electrico!! Awesome job dude!! The song is indeed very meaningful….

2009 NDP Song — > Come together; Reaching Out Reaching Up

This is our very own Singapore flag; Its a symbol of statehood. Our National Flag consists of two equal horizontal sections, red above white. In the top left canton is a white crescent moon beside five white stars within a circle. The features of the flag were not arbitrarily chosen. Each feature has its own distinctive meaning and significance: red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of man; white signifies pervading and everlasting purity and virtue; the crescent moon represents a young nation on the ascendant; and the five stars stand for the nation’s ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.

Hmm the following video is one of our very own most favourites songs which makes up weep and feel proud of our very own country and seeing this we could know how Singapore suffered becos of the British and Japanese, being chased away from Malaya.. From a sea port to a clean green & most importantly a beautiful city… Yet Singapore took it with a great spirit and turned into independence. This song comes along with our pledge(2:07 – 2:38). Check it out! Whenever I hear or sing a long this song.. By the end of the song; tears would be strolling down my cheek with happiness and pride….Hmmm.. Check out guys…

PS: Pledge (bold)
