Happy Birthday Singapore
It's National Day!
Ok.. *yawn*.. but nobody's complaining about the day off. :)
An Indonesian colleague of mine reminded me last week that it is Singapore's 40th birthday, showing just how patriotic I am.
He also mentioned that the theme this year is something like "What kind of Singapore do you want?" (I must have missed that when I skipped over thoseboring articles on NDP in the papers). Hmm.. that's easy. How about scrapping COE for starters? Then we're talking! :D
He continued to expose me of my nationalism, asking me what the stars and the crescent stand for in our flag. Eh.. is it democracy, peace, progress and the like?
And is the merlion our national icon? I think I know this one. That's just a tourism board gimmick. Surely we don't want a perennially sick vomiting mutant to represent us.
So what's our national icon then? I have no idea!
Anyway, happy birthday Singapore. :)
