If anyone knocks on my door later in the year to warn me that it's against the law to let a weather-worn flag by seen in public, I'm going to have to nicely point out that it's not my damn flag in the first place. *growl*Tymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168089811114758802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1121938634562371932005-07-21T05:37:00.000-04:002005-07-21T05:37:00.000-04:00I'm doing my bit this year to empty our little isl...I'm doing my bit this year to empty our little island state over the National Day weekend ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1121851417243022182005-07-20T05:23:00.000-04:002005-07-20T05:23:00.000-04:00I brought some of my UK friends to a National Day ...I brought some of my UK friends to a National Day Parade once, and they were so excited afterwards, they were like 'Where do we sign up? We want to be Singaporeans!' They sang the Count On Me, Singapore and everything.<BR/><BR/>Later, one of them said that Britain hardly every tries to do anything patriotic, so hardly anyone here has any nationlistic pride.tscdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12333076217095349503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5658132.post-1121847979059252422005-07-20T04:26:00.000-04:002005-07-20T04:26:00.000-04:00Gotta share this with you man ..."It's that song a...Gotta share this with you man ...<BR/><BR/>"It's that song again. Is it your national anthem? Don't you guys have a proper national anthem?", asked Australian colleague.<BR/><BR/>"Erm ... yes. We do. But it's not this annoying song that they're playing. The national anthem is in our indigenous language, Malay and It's called the Majulah Singapura." I answered.<BR/><BR/>"Then why are they singing this cheesy cheeseball song on radio? Can't they just play the national anthem if they really wanted to stir up feelings of patriotism?", she continued.<BR/><BR/>"..."<BR/><BR/>Hear that? <BR/><BR/>Even foreigners think THAT song that they play at least 7 times a day on radio is "cheesy cheesball".Abigaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680738126275343614noreply@blogger.com
