Happy Birthday, Singapore

44 years, Our country is middle-age. I wish to wish it 'Happy Birthday'.

It's a day worth celebrating, because it marks the day that we became independent. However, I didn't always feel this way. It was important to me because it was a holiday. That was it.

It's the same now for the students. To them, according to my observations, National Day means nothing more than daily droning of songs over the PA system, pointless and time-wasting activities like Recollection, and making red and white paper hearts.

Like it was to me, National Day means nothing than an additional day of holiday.
