Singapore Day 2007 in New York City and What Makes Us Singaporean
Was looking at the vids on utube on Singapore Day 2007.
Musing - if one were to be a Singapore student studying overseas there, and hears of Singapore Day, and make the special effort to take the subway to Central Park, and then at the finale hear all the familiar songs, rounded by Kit Chan and all on 'Home', how can one not feel for one's friends, family and roots back in Singapore?
What makes us Singaporeans?
Our shared common memories, our shared ties, our shared experiences.
That's what makes us Signaporeans.
BTW Sec 4 Students: PM Lee's National Day Rally Speech available at http://www.gov.sg
What Makes Us Singaporean?
OK This is another most hilarious vid... Dick Lee's 30th Anniversary Concert.. with some tongue-in-cheek take on our national language(s), expressions, social issues, and even political satires... what makes us Singaporean? Our ability to identify with, laugh with, understand, and feel proud of all of that - all the best and the worst aspects of our lives, and we still proudly call this place home.. That's being Singaporean!
For the next, just simply funny.. ROTFL... but you got to ignore the expressions that hint at vulgarities.. the ending parody on 'Count On Me Singapore' is simply funny... just for laughs.
