Whilst staying home was the option available to me to avoid the massive scarre crowd in towns and malls, I decide to switch on the television and watch the National Day Parade. 

This time round, the feeling of watching television at home during National Day is totally different.  First, because I'm in the army, I don't mind staying home to watch the parade unlike the past 21years, I would have gathered my friends to go out and party somewhere with the teenager crowd.  I want to watch the parade, the marchings and shootings.  It makes me feel proud of Singapore.

Secondly, I feel that if I can't be there among the crowd at the floating platform, then let me at least be enjoying the parade show at home.  I only watched the parades, the performance I was already doing my own things.  

During the show, there were several short scenes that describes the past of Singapore and its development.  Almost every year during the NDP they broadcast things like that but everytime I watch, it just makes me more proud of Singapore.  Every development is made from hard work and efforts from millions of small people just like me.  I believe Singapore is proud of us and so should we

Except for that extravanga 3-kias (kia si, kia bor, kia su), I would say I AM PROUD TO BE A SINGAPOREAN.
