NDP is coming

21 days countdown to Singapore's Birthday. Singapore songs have been playing on the radio recently. I remembered there is one website where you can download singapore songs. Here it is http://www.ndp.org.sg . Under our city of colours, you can find the download section. There you can download singapore song's Mp3 or even Ringtones.. Wonder who will be that crazy..? Haha.. I have always been patriotic. I love many of the singapore songs. I like watching NDP and sing songs with them. Believe me you will beam with pride when you do that.

Share with you my favourite song over the years. One of them is "Home" by Kit Chan I like the chinese version better. The lyrics are very meaningful and it never fails to touch me when I sing it. The other one I like is "Where I belong" or 属于 by Tanya Chua . I also like the chinese version better but the english one is just as nice. Then there is a song called "Shine On Me" by Jai . Its chinese version is sang by Mavis Hee. Recently I also like the song by Stephanie Sun called " We will get there" and "One United People"

Remember Sing Singapore? My school never took part. It was a shame i know. I always wanted to take part. But back in secondary school the school has it's sing Singapore program internally and i remembered our class was the champion! It was a celebration competition that every class has to put up. I remembered ours was a musical telling the story of Singapore using Singapore songs. And i was the lead vocal. Hehehe.. So fun, so memorable and yes.. so sad that it was sec 4 that year. I never had the chance to take part again. But I remember this event every NDP. I remembered we were all dress in Red and White.. Oh.. thoes were the days...

Then.. when I joined Xinyao, I seldom watch NDP. Cos our club's Annual Anniversary falls on National Day. We were normally at chalet or overseas. But sometimes we still watch NDP at the chalet if we are not having activities. National Day has a new meaning to me now. It's the 12th Anniversary this year. And we will be gathering at my friend's condo.

I remember I was 17 when we celebrate our first anniversary. I was a junior member then , later welfare officer, treasurer and now chairperson. We have all come a long way. I have always been glad that I joined the club. Without them, I don't know what will become of me now. They have always been my source of inspiration. I have "almost" achieve my dreams with them. I became a "singer" at the age of 17. Had my first song published in a album when I was 17. Sang in numerous concert . Acted in a play and produced a album when I was 26. They watched me while i grow up from a student, to a professional, to someone's wife. They kept my passion for music going thru the years. Although many have MIA due to personal commitments. I won't blame them cos i understand they have just moved on. For me, I will be clinging on.. I got to keep it going.. Keep the passion alive! Maybe I am just too stubborn to give up.

Anyway I hope this year NDP will also help all of us to relive the Singapore Spirit. Always be Number ONE and be Proud of it. Our Global City, Our Home - 2006 NDP theme.
