it's not good at all to see self but not your face
Yeah, in case there were any clueless international readers who happened to stumble by this blog, today is national day, where we sing joyously in sync with Kit Chan's famous song "Home" and ignore her almost-impossible-to-memorise song this year. C'mon, the prerequisites of a good song for the nation is simple, yet impactful lyrics. Singing "The Big Ben, the Thames..." or whatever stuff doesn't really help boost the Singaporean spirit, but rather, a bit sore mentally from trying to recall the tune and its accompanying words.
I will just stand in front of the national flag stuck "ceremoniously" on the top of the wall in front of my table and sing "Majulah Singapura" patriotically.
Did you hear about the Chinese Malaysian who rapped the Malaysian national anthem and voiced his gripes about the Malaysian discrimination, and all his nitty gritty complaints. I kinda figured out that he would placed in jail, condemned nationally, and then but forgotten. All thanks to his amazing thickness in failing to realize that youtube is a really bad way to do politically incorrect stuff. In case you haven't notice, how many people just got sued or jailed this year for infringing copyrights, offending people and all those dumb stuff? Possible more than the number of your fingers and toes, and your friend's fingers and toes, and your friend's friend's fingers and toes put together.
So please, think not once, not twice but approximately 50 times before you offend your nation on youtube.
Yup, on the same note, I love Singapore too, so I shall not comment about how its education system totally rocks my world.
Happy 42nd Birthday, Singapore!
