Happy Birthday, Singapore!

I woke up this morning wondering why I'm still in bed instead of being in office at 11am, and it took me 5 seconds before I remembered that today is Singapore's National Day. What a patriot I am? I had wasted the past days of weekends plus a day leave from office doing nothing but watching TV and reading recycled magazines, and only decided to do the weekly housechores today... or at least most of it. For this, I totally forgot anything about making any effort to commemorate the 40th independence anniversary of this country I'm born in.

Now that I'm done with my housechores, getting out of the house is now unlikely. Tired and not wanting to tire myself further for work tomorrow, I find myself a Singaporean not making an effort to be one. But hey, I pay taxes, don't I? That's the least I've been doing so far just like my dad. Turning the TV on to watch the evolution of NDP (National Day Parade) year by year is already considered an honor to the birthday of the nation in my book. I came back to work in Singapore after studying abroad and contribute to the economy here, didn't I? I guess these are enough at my citizen level. Wouldn't mind doing more if I'm invited to.

Anyway, a HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY to SINGAPORE!
