Today marks a significant day for our dear beloved Singapore.
My country.
My home.
We have come a long way.
From a village settlement, to having a 7 storey building as the tallest building in the early 1950s and now, having a land filled with skyscrapers.
At a young age of 50 years old, she has accomplished a lot.
I salute our forefathers for their hard work, their sweat, their tears and more in contributing to the build up and success of Singapore to become who she is today.
We are a whole lot of things all rolled into one, meeting at the melting pot.
My ancestors were among the many who travelled around the world for business, met their partners in an entirely different country and settled down with their loved ones in Singapore. Along the way, their offsprings too married non-locals and produce many more mixed up beautiful product of their decision; more lil cute Singaporeans.
I love it that in any part of the world that I am in, I am proud to say I am a Singaporean. We are multi-racial. We live in harmony and in peace. I love the fact that although it is rare, when I do bumped into another fellow Singaporean overseas, we became instant friends.
This country is where we belong. We are blessed, truly, in many many ways.
We just gotta learn to open our eyes and see it.
My dear Singapore,
It has been an amazing 50 years. You deserve the Golden Jubilee title. Wear it with pride.
To 50 more years ahead and more....
