My little sister and little niece had the chance to watch one of the previews so NOW it is my turn and I am lucky to get to watch the actual event LIVE AT THE NATIONAL STADIUM .
This year’s National Day is special because it is going to be the last celebration at the National Stadium before the stadium is demolish. A multi-purpose, 35.6ha “Sports Hub” will take over the stadium within the next few years.
Check out this website for more info on Singapore’s National Day http://www.ndp.org.sg/
Listed below is the lyric of one of my favourite Singapore songs. After all these years, this song still brings tears to my eyes.
To all Singaporeans…HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!!
To my family and friends…the one ticket is MINE!!!
To ME…start shopping for a RED t-shirt.
WE ARE SINGAPORE
There was a time when people said
That Singapore won't make it, but we did
There was a time when troubles seemed too much
For us to take, but we did
We built a nation, strong and free, reaching out together
For peace and harmony
Chorus 1:
This is my country, this is my flag,
This is my future, this is my life
This is my family, these are my friends
We are Singapore, Singaporeans
Singapore our homeland, it's here that we belong
All of us united, one people marching on
We've come so far together, our common destiny
Singapore forever, a nation strong and free
(Repeat Chorus 1)
(Sung)
We the citizens of Singapore
Pledge ourselves as one united people
Regardless of race, language or religion
To build a democratic society
Based on justice and equality
So as to achieve happiness
Prosperity and progress for our nation
Chorus 2:
We are Singapore, we are Singapore
We will stand together, hear the lion roar
We are Singapore, we are Singapore
We're a nation strong and free forevermore
(Repeat Chorus 1 & 2)
We are Singapore, Singaporeans ( X 2 )
