One People, One Nation, One Singapore

Praise the Lord! 40 years of prosperity, harmony, peace and growth in Singapore. And even though Singapore is still considered a young nation, I'm sure that Lord has many greater plans for Singapore. Then let's brothers and sisters in Christ come together as one to pray for our nation.

Well! Today woke up and really didn't know wat to do. Didn't feel like watching the holiday shows on the TV. Usually it's those outdated, since 1980's movies or some animations which are like 1 episode out of the billion series. Ai yoh! Watch alreadi also 'xian'. Haha! Went online and den Magdalene say she want to watch firework but dun think her sis will bring her. And the funny thing is she didn't even ask her sis yet. So told her to ask her but den Yvon going watch movie so couldn't bring her along. Wat a pity! But anyway, I'll arrange one more firework watching year end, during New Year. And Yes! Tonight we'll be going down to watch the firework from the Singapore River. The firework will be fired from a water platform in the Singapore River.

Then while online, i was touching up on my song composition. Haha! Yes! Finally finished it off. I had tried composing songs a few years ago. I think i came up with 2 songs but really amateur. I think i chunk it off some where alreadi. So this time round, really put in alot of effort in the tune and the lyrics. Well! I won't say it's going to be fantastic like Hillsongs but i'm still very proud. Hopefully can present it to David Lee and the worship team and let them give their comment! Then after that, I had a tune ringing in my mind and i jotted it down. Haha! Another song coming. This one i'm trying to do a Mandarin one instead. This will be a greater challenge but i'm all geared up for it.

Time flew real fast and it was time to meet up with the rest to go and see firework. Suppose to meet at Tampines MRT at 5.45pm. So I left my house at 5.20pm to take a bus. It was like so long. I waited for 25 min, usually at most 10min. Then i knew i was late. And while the bus is travelling the Tampines Central, the whole place was jam packed with people. This year, Singapore has added 3 other neighbouring town to celebrate the nation's birthday. Every where was filled with red shirts. And the road was moving real slow. By the time i met them, it was like 6.05pm. So pai seh! Haha! Then we took a train down to Raffles Place and we walked towards our destination. The place is like at one end of the Singapore River which is beside the Marina Bay's open field. There were some people alreadi camping at that place. Definitely it's the best place to watch firework! So we waited while we eat and talk rubbish. Finally the firework began. It was beautiful and lovely. You could feel the trembles and the sights were just filling the eyes. But it was not as good as when the first time i saw the fireworks at an even closer distance a couple of years ago. The ground shook and as i was closer to the firework, the fireworks seemed to have filled up the whole sky span and as it falls, it seems like it was going to fall on me. That's was the best. Hopefully New Year, they will fire on ground and not on water. Can't get any closer unless we swim. Haha!

After that we went to Sempang Bedok to eat. I ordered mutton soup and plaster and one chicken muartabak to share. My soup came and was splendid but the plaster didn't come. But the soup was actualli very filling. Thkfully the plaster didn't come. Den somemore still has the muartabak. Woah! After the sumptuous meal, took bus 9 den alighted at Eastpoint and walked home. Took a bath, watch my korean serial and den had a chat with my sis and time was 2am. Cannot tahan. Must sleep!zzzzZZZZ
