Lately, I have been receiving messages from friends whom I have not met in a while. Really nice to hear from them and it truly touches me to know that even when we haven't been keeping in touch, they still do care for their friends (wipes a tear..) This makes me feel really really bad=( Sigh. I think I have been too self-centred, too pre-occupied with myself, too pre-occupied with friends whom are conveniently within reach, that I have neglected to care for those whom I haven't been speaking with. To my neglected friends, I'm truly sorry... I'll try to do something about it. Hopefully. I have no idea why but I have been feeling rather emotional these days... I guess it's just a passing phase... Maybe it's just stress getting at me before term starts again=(Oh, did I forget to mention that I hate the CORS module bidding system to the CORE? Or maybe not - just the school's master timetable for this semester. It sucks big time man! Whatever modules I have shortlisted to take clashes with my existing modules.. wtf! Argh... Headache, headache, headache...Anyway, tomorrow's National Day and every year, I look forward to watching the parade on tv. Minus the matching part=p Boring. Haha. I know it's kinda erm.. not cool to like NDP (or is it not?), but I am actually a very patriotic guy underneath that nonchalant and anti-Singapore facade. Shy. To think that this is coming from someone who dreads studying in Singapore (really..), continually laments about the stupidity of NS and contemplating to migrate for good. I don't know why but it kinda heartwarming to watch the parade, especially being there in person at the national stadium 2 years ago. National Day is the only time I would recite the pledge and sing the national anthem in my heart and with pride, but it feels good that I have a sense of belonging to the nation, even if it's only, er, once a year. No matter what happens in the future, SIngapore will always be my home cos...
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home.
...Taken from my all-time favourite NDP song by Kit Chan - "Home".
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
Chorus:
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where that river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That home's about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore
(Repeat chorus)
For this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know I'm home
