i scoff at articles and language that hint of propaganda. i won't bother to fly the flag, nor sit down in front of the tv to watch the parade, much less go to the national stadium.

but when i recite the pledge or sing the song, i am proud of this country, for it has prospered well, and given me much of what i have today. i am proud to be a singaporean.

haha you may think i'm mad, but this is what i felt, when i heard the words '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'. HAPPY 41st!
