Even as my country of birth, Singapore celebrates her 41st birthday today, I would like to share ten fascinating (i hope) facts about me and this day! 1. I participated the 1993 National Day Parade by performing with my school's military band. 2. I then hated participating in NDP due to the amount of hard work needed to perform and the countless weekends burnt. 3. I was on a TV programme (Channel 8's wu3 hou4 xian2 qing2) because of the band. It was an interview but I lost the video footage ages ago. 4. I got to watch the NDP preview once during my secondary school days. 5. I get to watch the fireworks every time the NDP is held at the National Stadium. 6. Thank God I was never mobilised during my National Service days for the NDP. 7. Apparently being a member flag bearer team for SAFTI MI needs a minimum height and cannot wear spectacles, regardless of rank though. Thus, I escaped... Phew! 8. I sang backup vocals on one of the National Day songs! 9. I submitted a poem about Singapore too, did not win anything though. 10. I made up points 8 & 9 up ... Hehe
More interesting stuff I wanna share from one of Singapore's renowned writers, Catherine Lim. The following is an excerpt from her AMUSES/MUSES section in TODAY newspaper dated August 7 2006, Monday. Be amused nonetheless
Said the priest: "Beware this sinful organ I shall not mention it by name It gives man so much pleasure But causes much regret and shame!
'Though it's only a small roll of flesh From it all mischief has sprung I will now show you this monster!" And the priest put out his tongue.
Today, VJ Titanium also decide to go a little candid by bringing you a spoof video of the Nirvana video I posted up in my last entry, super funny & excellent videography as it looked like the original! Sans the ridiculous lyrics that is. Btw, the artiste made a living doing spoofs of famous songs. Go for a pee first before pressing "Play"! Weird Al Yankovic - Smells Like Nirvana
Realized the habit of having lengthy blog entries. Looking forward to soccer match later! Looking forward to fireworks later!! Enjoying CDs borrowed from Qi'En!!!
Happy Birthday Singapore!! P.S. "My passport made me do it."
