National Day 2009

Wow.. blogger still isnt fixed yet.
Am I the only one still facing this problem?
Anyway, my facebook layout is screwed up too.

Actually, i came here to say Happy Birthday Singapore!
At some point in the afternoon today, i recalled this
incident whereby Mr AJ asked me this question,
out of the blue, during Social Studies class.
Or was it during History? Oh wait, i took Geography -.-

Yea, he asked me, "How long do you want Singapore to exist?"
And i proudly exclaimed, "For as long as i live!!!"

He reprimanded, "NO NO. YOU WANT SINGAPORE TO EXIST FOREVER!!"

Such a patriot.
I'm no patriot, but i do have a sense of belonging.
At times my love for Singapore wavers, especially in recent times,
but all is good, and Singapore is the best!

NDP as always, is quite the spectacle.
Concept was a little bit different this year; kinda liked it.
My fav was still the skit in Chapter 1,
with Mark Lee and Suhaimi Yusuf, of Police and Thief fame.

Sang Nila Utama: What is that island over there?
Mark Lee: You ask me i ask who?

Suhaimi: I think you need to throw away your crown to stop this storm..
Sang Nila Utama: But i cannot throw my crown! Without it i cannot be king!!
Suhaimi: Alamak..relax ah brudderr...

Great stuff..

SG idol was entertaining as well.
Hopefully the contestants will be good enuff to cause an idol frenzy
and draw me temporarily away from K Pop.

Meanwhile, in K Pop,
2ne1 has since grabbed sooo many awards that i've lost count.
But just now they just won Inkigayo 3 weeks in a row.
They've really been overachieving.
They handled all that expectations of being the "female Big Bang" so well,
they deserve to break away from that title already and form their own image.
Amazing stuff..

Anyways, they performed a short portion of Big Bang's Last Farewell



they totally nailed it.
But they arent actually the first girl group to cover the song because...



Wonder Girls did it before them! (starts at 0:57)



Of course, Big Bang does it best.
