I've never exactly thought of myself as being very patriotic, but I do regret not being able to spend national day at home for the last 2 years, and the next few years to come. I usually don't do much on national day except maybe watch the parade, and include abit of red in my choice of dressing for the day if I remember:) but really, I do love singapore. For its bland familiarity, for the feeling of security, for its adeptness, even for making me feel at times like I grew up too fast, and most importantly, for the people in my life who make it my home. And I think it will always feel that way:)

I think when I first got to sydney I found it hard to accept it as being my new home cos I kept comparing everything here to home. But I realise now it doesn't do any good, and in a way I've come to accept things here as being a part of my life now, at least for the next few years:)

ooh and check this out if you're bored:)

haha it's a HUGE picture of my sister in the straits times special for national day:) plus a few short paragraphs she spewed out on the botanical gardens:) The new gardens are apparantly quite nice now:) plus according to my mom there's a bigbig new hawker centre there now as well:)

Sigh. And I don't know why but The way you look tonight by Frank Sinatra has been on rewind in my head for the last week. I love that song.

I'll be praying for you. :)
