National Day Celebrations on 8/8/2008
(8/08/2008 10:13:00 PM)
National Day is here! Wonder how those in Cambridge are going to celebrate it?
Image 1: Slightly interested students watching the festivities.We must note the technicalities about celebrating National Day 10 000km away in Cambridge. For one, how are you going to tell when National Day starts? Also, will you celebrate with Singapore (Meaning staying up like 12 midnight)?
Disregarding those minor problems, I shall attach some annotated lyrics (so that you can sing and make the school proud! Please do send to Singapore relevant photos!)
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 )
So that was something for National Day!
Coming tomorrow: A Promiscous Day (With Food)
