well well, national day is almost here!! i don't know why but now that im not in school, i don't feel the oncoming excitment of national day.. (yes, i get excited for national day *does salute* )



maybe it's cos there's no public holiday to look forward to, or maybe there's no national day celebration in school to anticipate!! i lovee national day celebrations at school, i can sing my heart out and not be judged.. plus they give out goodie bags with the bubble-blowing kit in em!! i wanna blow bubblessss



well, this year, if it wasn't thanks to electrico's what do you seeee music video's endless repetitions on TV i wouldn't even know national day is near.. BUT i shall get into the spirit and blog about something totally relevant!!


our national pride and identity.



well, the liverpool vs spore match just took place not so long ago (26 JULY!!!! just saying *wink* ) and as usual, singaporeans manage to make a big hoo-hah over something puny...



see, some shallow, myopic and anal people (i shan't mention the details or i'd be heading to jail) wrote to the NewPaper about being all upset when the national anthem didn't play before the start of the match..



oh oh and some soccer player said he was DISAPPOINTED at how singaporeans went there to cheer for liverpool and not spore!!



oh me oh my, are you kidding me?!! we pay $88 friggin bucks to see spore players ATTEMPT to play football?? OF COURSE we're gonna be cheering for liverpool!! that's why we're there in the first place!! have you seen the stadium in an S-league match?? i can count the number of people there with 2 hands!..



look guys, we all know how lousy spore is at stuff like soccer.. it's ok to be bad at something!! i mean, you can look at the positives or concentrate on the negatives.. i'm certainly proud that the US of A wants to use our math textbooks in their schools, aren't you? but soccer?! c'mon, get through the world cup qualifers before i pay any attention please..



to the self righteous PAP butt kissers i say this: get over it! stop pretending you care about spore soccer cos we all know we don't.. now get back to studying or forcing your kids to study cos that's what spore is good at, you might as well attempt to jump onto the wagon..


and i quote melvin, some random stranger who too wrote to the NewPaper, " nobody cares about singapore soccer so stop pretending. if you really cared, you'd have at least tried to remember the starting 11 of the singapore team."


woah i applaud you melvin!! you're absolutely right!! i'll bet no one reading this knows any of the spore socccer players!! unless fandi ahmad was playing hmm..


oh and linking the fact that the national anthem wasn't played before the match to our lack of national identity is just presposterous.. i cry fallacy!! i'm sure if the all too familiar soundtrack of majulah singapura were to be played, the stadium would start singing.. thing is, the match was starting and helloo we are all too busy anticipating the appearance of torres so pardon us for not spontaneously breaking out into song..


but hey, guess what.. they might be onto something..


national identity? whether you wanna admit it or not.. we barely have any!!


wanna know why? sigh, let me enlighten you..


it's merely cos, look, we keep importing foreign talent!! (i'm saying this in the nicest way possible i promise you)


wayyyy before i even enrolled into NUS, people have been talking about the immense number of *coughchincacoughcough* scholars who'll overpopulate the scene and make everything one big competition.. they'll make the rat race into an international dispute if you know what i mean..


let's not stop there.. it's hard NOT to bump into someone who ain't aingaporean just merely taking a stroll through your neighborhood!.. what with domestic helpers and men who do the dirty job (hmm) plus plus plus im sure all yáll working people would understand the fact that foreigners are infiltrating our country!!!


im not gonna say it's a bad thing, cos for the most part it aint that bad.. but guess what, there's a trade-off my dear lovely government.. yup, the "national identity" you so fondly speak off is being sucked away cos we aren't a nation.. we are simply a cosmopolitan city, a business place..


so yea, i hereby end my not so politically correct rant.. (i'm proud of myself, stepping outta the mould HAHA) dont worry PAP i'll still vote for you.. largely due to the very effective propaganda strewn across our hallowed SS textbooks..


wow we're 44 singapore!! hurray!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE (and ana heh heh oh and ESTHER)


you know i love you
xoxo
