This is Home

Kit Chan - Home
Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Chorus:
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home

When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That home's about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore

Repeat Chorus x2

For this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know I'm home

END

Happy Birthday Singapore!

This is honestly, the best NDP Song ever.
Compare it to the rest of them, this was the simplest to catch and it had so much meaning.

Its a song about a place we call home.
Yea i know, i have been complaining about the stress level of studying and about spending in Singapore, but if we all just sit down sometimes and put everything away, we realise that we have many things that other countries do not have.
Most of us have a roof over our head.
Everyone gets a chance at basic primary education.
We have friends from many different cultures.
We do not face civil war, nor do we have an problems with our water and electricity.

Yea we have an ageing population and decreasing birth rate, but we all have friends to talk to and share our times with.
Sure we have people doing drugs in Singapore, but i'm sure it is the minority and that there are people in Singapore who are willing to help those doing drugs to stop.
We may have an extremely small Universal Studios, but everyone can go and visit it just by saving up a little every week.
At the very least we have entertainment just a 1 hours ride away.

How about safety in Singapore?
Chances of us getting robbed is not high at all.
We have take an evening stroll in the park downstair in peace and chill out to the evening breeze.
We can go out with friends and have fun in the afternoon and not be worried about getting home a little late.

Yea Singapore is definitely a stressful country to live in, yet it is our Singapore.
This is where we belong, and i will definitely love Singapore forever even if i choose to leave this country and migrate elsewhere.
It is just like the song "Home", because i know, that no matter how far i may go, i will always miss this country.

Happy Birthday again Singapore.

PS: I had a great birthday at home :) yea that was what the countdown was for. HAHA :D
