God has heard

Just in case anyone's wondering where that Doggy picture came from. HEH. its just an act of randomnessity. Enjoy. it was one of the few pictures which made me laugh out when i Googled "Doggie".

Anyway. Today's Singapore's 42nd birthday. Sometimes when i think about it, it really amazes me, how a small little fishing island can become so established, recognised, and .. Big. i mean, as cheesy and dorky (yes Xuan, i acknowledge it just for now.) as it sounds, we really did begin with Fish. and i'm rather thankful Singapore's not well known for Fish. (...Are we?)

Well. All the Singaporey songs and parades and fireworks have caused my spirit of patriotism to rise up from the dead (not that dead, really.) So, Here's to Singapore:

(This song, as old as it is, is still one of my favourites, because i think the lyrics are simple yet powerful. So here goes.)

Count on me, Singapore.
Count on me, Singapore.
Count on me to give my best and more,
Together, Singapore, Singapore.

Anyhow. I still believe, there's no place as safe as Singapore. and every national day, i thank God for Singapore. I thank God that i can sleep at night, not having to worry about power outages or riots or whatever and all. I thank God.

If i look out from where i'm sitting, i see the flags that my neighbours have hung out on their corridors, the smell from the night wind, the flip-flopping of the flags, ah.

It just makes me feel like i want that spirit of patriotism in me to stay. Because, i'd be thankful of what i have every, single, day.


O well. Cheers to Singapore! God's watching over you!
