National Day used to mean a lot to me. It epitomises and encapsulates all that I am - a Singaporean. Against all odds, not only did we survive, we thrived. It enshrined the blood, sweat and tears our forefathers had poured into this place they came to call home. The can-do spirit excited me, and I wanted to use it as a personal motto.
But in recent years, I've seen and heard so much that frankly, I'm quite sian already. And disillusioned. Applying for NDP tickets used to be a must, but this year, I didn't even bother watching it on TV.
