Walking down Shenton Way...

As I was walking down the city street, seeing the wonderful city lightings, the shimmering Singapore river, Marina bay. This song suddenly popped in my mind.

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Indeed, my heart is tightly bound to Singapore, appreciating what our founders and ancestors set out to achieve for this Island nation.

People may say that I might be brain washed by the PAP; which I might be.

Whatever the case, I am glad to be born on this peaceful, serene nation; knowing that I am safe walking down the street, knowing that my family and friends (well, at least most of them) will be around showing care and concern for one another, knowing that deep in my heart, I will live to protect this nation and its ideals and most importantly, this is my home.

Just felt like showing gratitude to the place where I grow up. Merry X-mas Singapore. May 2009 be a better year!
