BBQ at East Coast

Ah, no pictures but....

have to thank stella ( i know you are reading my blog from time to time!) and huiping for going through the trouble of organizing this little get-together. It was really great, considering that all of those you invited came!

Time flies. Some are already married and some are planning to get married. 3 years. So much has transcended in this 3 years. It makes one wonder when would be the next time when we can all meet again. But at least we had the opportunity of this night to catch up with each other and sharing stories of the past 3 years.

Food is great too. But it's the company that makes the food sumptuous.

Till we all meet again....

National Day...

I remember when I was young, blocks were "painted" in a sea of red and white as almost, if not all of the residence will hang up their Singapore flag proudly. I liked that. It shows that the people of Singapore "having a sense of belonging and pride" in the country they call home to.

Now fast forward 10 years. Singapore have had undergone rapid changes in a short period of time, including the fact that no one hang their flags up anymore.

Zilch.

If widespread unhappiness is the result of our progress, i rather we not have drastic progress at the expense of unhappiness, resentment, anger and the lost of a sense of belonging to this place which people used to call "my country, my home".

What's good 2 casinos, a horde of FTs and tons of money in a country when patriotism is gone? It makes the National Day parade sounds like a whole lot of bang with no soul.
