Hi there! It has been a great week in my in-camp training. It was a fruitful and exciting period for me as I was assigned to take up a new role. :) By God's grace, I was able to clear my IPPT. Did you have a fun and exciting week while I was learning and improving my skills to protect the country?
Let's give thumbs up to the Ministry of Defence for keeping the "greeny" soldiers at the highest state of mind to protect our hometown. What's more? For organising the biggest show annually - National Day Parade (NDP). We will be celebrating our Motherland's 43rd birthday - Celebrating the Singapore Spirit very soon. Have you read the recent newspaper articles about the outlooks for Singapore? What are your thoughts? What are your dreams for our homeland?

My wish is to see my homeland to be place for dreams to become reality; an unique place where all can call it home even for those who are away for a long time.
This reminded me of my time at Brisbane where I celebrated my first overseas National Day with a group of student internship mates during a chilly August 2002. The feeling of home was near as overseas Singaporeans celebrated Motherland's birthday together but yet we knew we were far away from our home. That was how it brought us closer. The celebration made us missed home even more. :)
Try it then you will be able to sing each year's NDP theme song with feeling. The song that really brought the Brisbane feeling very much was "My Island Home" - NDP 2006 theme song. Enjoy watching this year's NDP show which is filled with pyrotechnics displays. :)
