Happy Birthday Singapore

This year National Day we went to Esplanade Outdoor Theatre again for our annual NDP sketchwalk. We never got tired of this scene that depicted the achievement of our nation with heritage buildings fronting the waters and skyscappers adorn the skyline. Within a short span of one generation or 59 years since 1965, the nation had achieved so much from a swamped land to a first world country.

For the naysayers, of course there are still rooms for improvement but one cannot deny the strength, deligence, commitment and dertermination by our pioneer generation and the strong political leadership of this country.

Happy 59th Birthday Singapore. HOME TRUlY!
