YEEEOOOOO PEOPLE!

Help...

I got to go back to camp again...

ahhh!!!!

Boring NDP'06 ...Good Ol' LKY

Well, that went pretty fast..

Before I knew it, NDP was over...hahaha

Started out damn bored...maybe coz I've been through more exciting events before (kk not that i'm trying to be hau lian lar...it's just me)...even when the actual thing started, I had the 'uh huh..cooool...zzz' attitude

The NDP Lau Jiaus promised a totally different atmosphere, saying that "it will be different on that day one, all the lights..plus the crowd...."

No leh..still pretty boring...

Oh, but I didn't talk about the preview for primary school kids right? They were easily the BEST CROWD ever! The actual NDP crowd was lacklustre in comparism. The kids were all screaming and cheering..and during the national anthem...you could *hear them over the recording!* Those of us in the contingent..even the super buay onz one..were super touched...

Anyways..talking about actual...'My island home' perked me up a little bit..

However, the real turning point for me in the parade was when Old LKY came out (what..is he going to sue me for saying that he is old? He is more mature than that). My heart started pumping. My body went on attention.

I finally got to see the man in person. The man that, despite lots of critisism of his actions, is almost singularly responsible for the Singapore of today.

I decided on the spot that I would finish the parade perfectly for him. (haha...infact..I turned a little bit too early after the lights went out after the last 'Hia!')

Singapore is in dire need of people in LKY's calibre. Hope they show themselves soon.

Should I go Australia?

Should I?

Should I?

Hmmm....

Unknown NDP'06 singer...so?

Well, there's been some debate over this unknown singer for this year's NDP.

Talk about unpopular...I don't even know her name..haha...

But here's the thing...she sounds good..doesn't she?

Its the Singaporean 'must be pro' then can issu again...

And we wonder why is our local scene such an 'un'condusive environment for budding artists..

Isn't this a chance for her to grow in Singapore?

Abroad...when there is somebody new...people think 'hey, check it out!"

In singapore, it goes 'wtf..who the hell is she/he?'

Anyways...here's my view..

As a participant in NDP'06, in the number '2' of the supporting march contingents, the song, 'my island home' is the only song that really reminds me of my sense of belonging in Singapore. While i'm in the , going through the arguebly 'boliau' and 'wayang' parade, this is the song that realigns my priorities and makes me endure the rehearsals and burnt weekends.

Unknown singer be damned.

Hey, she sounds good, and looks pretty ok as well.
