Happy 49th Birthday to my beloved country!
This year's NDP almost brought a tear to my eye, it was quite beautiful.
I was glad traditional NDP were used more often in this year's performance. They were remixes but I don't mind. Full versions wouldn't have fit well with the timings of the performance anyway.
I found my mind synchronizing with the rhythm of the performance from my TV screen, mouthing the words of the songs.
Reminiscing about the last year's NDP, I was really touched once again to see my country reaffirm their belief to stay united. Oh and thank you NSFs for putting in so much time and effort. Some might call it a waste of time but I firmly believe that it was great honour to have participated in the annual NDP. It was a truly memorable experience!
Also, in a day's time, I'll be starting my studies for Semester 1 of my uni life. After such a long slew of university camps, hall bonding sessions, rag and flag activities, I have no idea how to pick up from where I left off in JC. This plus almost 2 years of mind numbing activities serving NS.
I'm sure this will be the predicament for many guys, but i'm sure we are tenacious enough to overcome this mental hurdle.
As a new chapter approaches for both my country and myself, let's both take a leap into a future of uncertainties and continue in an ever quest for adventure and growth!
signing off.
