it's been a long journey, 45 years to be exact.
though i was not there to experience everything you've been through
but today, i've finally been able to get an insight into what it was like then.
i know it hasn't been easy
and it couldn't have been a success if not for each and every person.
but just like many others, i'm guilty for only appreciating and valuing you once a year during this day.
of course, there's been the grumbles and complains about everything under the sun as well, (and there still will be)
the government, the ERP, the GST, (maybe that's a skill to be proud of)..
there's no guarantee that i'll be with you my whole life,
that i won't leave,
that i'll try to remember and treasure you more than just once a year,
though one thing's for sure. you'll be within me no matter where I may go, and that i'm proud to be part of you and your history.
happy birthday Singapore and God bless you (:
