8th August – Each day this year, school-going kids all across the country would be smartly dresed in Red and White and excitedly bound for school. It’s the day where they’ll celebrate Singapore’s National Day! I have very fond memories of National Day celebrations in schools where we belted out countless National Day Songs with all our hearts and culminated with the Pledge Moment. This week, Dana came home and attempted to recite the pledge, standing at attention, with her right arm placed across her chest. Seeing this made me tear up a little as I’m happy that our little girl, too loves her nation. I hope schools will continue this meaningful tradition so that all the younger generations can feel the pride of being Singaporeans too.
Ending the post with this new rendition of my all-time favourite National Day song:
Happy 47th National Day Everyone!
Linking up with Sakura Haruka‘s

it’s the first time my girl is taking part because she just started sch this year. So excited for her! P.S. Kit Chan’s HOME is my fave ND song too 🙂

Hi Ai,
lil pumpkin will love the celebrations for sure! 🙂 Be prepared to sing along with her and recite the pledge. This rendition of ‘Home’ is so cool because it has all our home grown artistes in the MV with Kit Chan. The words are very meaningful too, Dick Lee’s truly talented! 🙂
