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)

There was a time
When people said that Singapore
Won’t make it
But we did

There was time
When troubles seemed too much
For us to take
But we did

Strong and free
Reaching out together
For peace and harmony

This is my country;
This is my flag;
This is my future;
This is my life;
This is my family;
These are my friends,
We are Singapore… Singaporeans..

Singapore our homeland
Its here that we belong
All of us united
One people marching on
We’ve come so far together
Our common destiny
Singapore forever
A nation strong and free

This is my country;
This is my flag;
This is my future;
This is my life;
This is my family;
These are my friends,
We are Singapore… Singaporeans..

Pledge ourselves as one united people
Regardless of race; language or religion
To build a democratic society
Based on justice and equlity

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!!! ;)

Sometimes it makes me wonder; why are some people inconsiderate even when there are advertisements all over. As always, I got in the train from my place. And it was not as crowded as always. Got myself a seat and I eventually fall asleep(i was very sleepy here) 1/2 my journey. A sudden urge made me wake up only to find out there was this pregnant lady who was standing abt 5 seats away diagonally me. For a moment i was shocked and i immediately stood up to offer her my seat. She smiled at me with a ”thanks” . Which means? No one actually offered her a seat for her to refuse right? I was extremely absurd by such attitute.! There were some incidents; i’ve came across too. Like for example. Just recently; then again i offered my seat to an elderly who got in the train about 6 stations later. That was a particular station where alot of people got in, especially elderly. The next moment the other lady got up and offered hers to another elderly and then another. So waiting for someone to make the first move?? What is there to even think for this? There are two more incidents i really want to share too. One was in 190 bus. It is one of the bus I usually travel home from town because it actually enters the expressway, smooth 15 – 20 mins ride straight to Bukit Panjang, which is just few minutes to my area. Usually this bus is always crowded especially during the peak hours where people who works at town, living near my place takes this bus. I remember very well. Me and my cousin sister was standing at the connection a bendy bus. There was this couple whom got in on the Raffles Town Club bus-stop where it is just 2 – 3 stops away from the expressway. So at most time during peak hours; its fully packed till the door. So as i mentioned. A couple got in the bus there and the wife was actually pregnant. I could not see exactly what happened, but all i heard was ” Could someone give a seat to my pregnant wife? ” Aw… I was so touched by the concern of the husband but appalled by people whom were around her. And so in such situation; when i will not hesitate to even voice out. I hope am not over exaggeratting here. But sometimes i really find it hard to accept such inconsiderate behaviour. Although it has been improved; compared to before There are still minority people who ignores it. It just brings down the image of being a “Singaporean” ! I mean its understandable; being in a busy city, people tend to get tired and being always travelling in a all-time crowded transportations. Sometimes people are too tired to even think about others who needs it more. Like mentioned earlier on. Things are getting better here compared to previously. But its about time every single one should have the practice of this. Hmmm…. & yeah finally this incident which is something which I’m a little proud off. This time i was standing. If I’m not wrong an elderly came in the train; went in between of the car standing. Hmm.. that was where i spotted a primary school student directly infront of me sitting down. I looked at him; he looked at me and then i gave an eye signal pointing at the elderly lady. He looked at her and immediately stood up and offered his seat smiling at me. That gave me a sense of satisfaction. That elderly lady saying “Xi Xie” (thank you in chinese)to the boy couple of times before sitting there. From this we can see that they need it more then us. Being in the younger generation, we are physically active compared to elderly… Hmmm anywayz, would really like to share a video done by our very own Singapore and its always played in the MRTs. And loadz of picture advertisements on that as well as priority seats signs, which is actually letting us know how important it is to be courteous and considerate here. But sometimes it still make me wonder ” Are all this suppose to be taught or isn’t it just like common sense??” Haiz…. Hey guys.. Yes I am very proud to be a Singaporeans. As we are really coming up pretty well. Its just that some minority basic manners each and every of us should inherit. Just a while ago, was finding a picture of this priority seatings and came across a blog where there was this one person who actually commented. ” good point. it’s not very often you see that many needy people anyway. besides, there are priority seats on every corner. The needy have the right to ask to sit there. And that doesn’t mean they’re only allowed to sit at those places. Look around you and see if anyone’s willing to give up their seat. This is Singapore. Don’t expect even a tad amount of “kindness” ” Which means Singaporeans are not kind people? Hmm.. Okiez guys. Check this video out …..by our very own comedian Phua Chu Kang(Gurmit Singh).

Woohoo…. Finally tried out a poem after so long… Hey peepz.. Just a random one i came out with… I guess i did fairly ok for a try; first time after so long!!! Oopss i know its some sort of very feeling a.k.a romantic one..Yeah yeah.. :P Its all tamil songs influence… ;) But not more than anything… Just sharing.. since some of them say it turned out nicely.. Yippidi!!!

My heart and soul is just for you
Sometimes i will wonder if its true..
I dropped myself into loneliness becos of you
I left everything just to be with you

Looking out the window
Seeing the moon
Talking and smiling
Thinking of you…

Seeing your name
Brightens my face
Brought me a smile
Which makes my day

It just gives me love, joy
happiness and hopes..
And its all becos of you….

Its our great pleasure and honour to welcome our very own Ms Natu Naz back to her blog at www.sparklingcherry.com … *Claps*Claps* . Kekekeke.. Am finally back in Action … :P

Oh well, blame it on my work.. I could not even find time to update my blog.. Haiz.. Lately have been really busy at work that i feel, i actually forget the world.. There were times, i use to get mad with friends who were always busy with work.. (i guess some of u all are already smiling at this..) & finally i’m feeling the pinch of it… Sorry.. am not gonna apologise for it.. Cos am already getting it back :P hehe.. You know… ” What goes around comes around ! ” This is one of my fav quote.. Its very much true as i have experienced it myself… I thought finally! at least today i pen down on something.. Cos i don’t know when will be the next available date for me… *Faintz* When i saw my next mth’s schedule…..

But haiz… Seriously i’m kind of lost with words though.. Too many things in mind yet feeling too little to write.. Or shall i say.. Actually to be frank, i started to feel a little insecurity when it comes to web.. internet or cyberworld to even pen down general stuffs abt my personal life… Cos seeing the news and coming across incidents happening here in the “dangerous” world gives a freaky feeling.. :D Gosh!!!! Technology is soo much advanced can’t even be surprised that so much of things are happening here…. Qns arises.. Why on earth ??? …….. Actually this particular thing arises when a lil friend of mine was sharing abt a bbc news she came across and why she did not want to put any of her pictures in her PC!!.. and so i thought i shall just share this info here.. There maybe some of them who already knows all this quite long time ago… Me knew a lil later then those ppl who know long time ago… Lolz.. But there are way too many people out there who are not even aware of this.. I could not find the exact article that gal told.. but i’ve got something similar to that article… check it out!

PS: it doesn’t mean am gonna stop writing.. Kekeke.. My thoughts.. dreams… daily happenings…crazy stuffs are still shared in my precious heartliest ” Sparklingcherry :P ”

Hmmm… Now for some fun stuffs.. Two days of shopping!! As in fri and sat!! God!!! My legs were aching big time.. & worst still i had to go to work this morning… Keke.. I was like a Zombie.. Hmmm.. sometimes during Sunday morning.. Seeing people going back home after work with their sulky face… Wonder why life have to be so tough here… To live, you have to work hard… Hmm *wondering* …. Ok Ok.. as always.. Staying in the centre is soo not my kind.. But do i have a choice.. Anywayz.. Seeing smiling faces and hearty Morning wishes from all my colleagues did brighten up my day!!! Going back aft 3 days, did make me feel very foreign there..

On Fri, suddenly i was craving to watch movie with popcorn..[if i'm gonna tell mum, she is gonna tease me that i'm preggy!!] Since my friend had to attend for her swimming lessons.. We planned to go the next day! Went to watch “Land of the Lost” Kind of funny and entertaining but i would not say its nice.. Oh well.. and off course not forgetting “Chakka” the perverted Human looking Monkey…[u will know what i mean when u watch the movie] I found it cute and a lil irritating.. Well its just some adventurous fiction story where this “crazy” scientist trying to come out with a time machine which everyone feels is a utter “nonsense”.. ex. for this lady who wants to go along with him to do the research and went to a different part of the universe(millions and millions of yrs ago) Ooops.. I better not sound bad..just because its not my cup of tea..[a stupid scene for eg. the dinosaur would be chasing them and yet, the lady would ask one of the guy for a camera pose infront of the "chasing" DINOSAUR!! ] kekeke.. But then.. it could be watch as an entertainer…

How did i forget this!!!! FINALLY I GOT MY RESULTS..!!! PHEW… kekeke.. actually i did pretty well this time round.. except for my statistics.. But somehow managed to pass it though … Phew.. Fullfilled my required aggregrate score to enter my fav University… Will be enrolling it probably next yr by second term.. Kind of worried…. But then am taking it as a spirit!!! Hmmm.. wish me all the best! & Finally applied for my BTT…. All small to big ppl i know are holding on to at least their PDL, as they have already started driving.. & once they are done with their exams.. They got theirs.. So i thought its about time i should also start with it.. It maybe useful in future if i have intentions to buy a car..[zoom zoom] One of my wish is to bring my family around for a car ride(driving myself) .. ;) Currently its in my wishlist in “Lalala Land”… Am waiting for its arrival at my Sparklingcherrys’ …

Alrightz… Currently had my mum’s Nasi Goreng(fried rice in “malay”) Now am gonna watch my ;) Kim Hyun Joong “Boys Over Flowers”, and for those who said he looks like a “gay”/”girl” BUZZ OFF!!! :P
