40 yrs ago

Hwaaah. Did you get your Straits Times today?

(Oh, by the way, HAPPY NATIONAL DAY to you first!)

My goshie... That 160 page supplement is so thick & supple, I'm pretty sure it'd knock out any robber if I hit one on his/her head. Good loh, now there are many more makan & nature places to check out. =).

Well, almost every year on national day, our family would somehow end up eating steamboat/bbq at our balcony, while the national anthemn is playing, soldiers are matching, parachuters are floating & colorful human formations are unfolding from within our 29" tv set... but not from this year on i guess. It's no fun/meaning having 2pax steamboat mah. Half a dozen of fishballs & 10 prawns later, I'd most likely be full and think of puking like Merlion. I'd be using the next 5hrs to think of where to go for dinner. Anyone wanna save me with some einstein suggestions?

I know of a friend who'd most probably order her favorite KFC family meal & pig out in front of tv... Another friend would be having his beloved by his side as they lovey-dovey-ly go photograph those fireworks...

So how are you going to spend your national day evening?? Or if you are reading this after 8.30pm on 9th Aug, how have you spent yours?

know what? i was disappointed to have to leave this place where i was already settled down in for this course in an even further place (from S'pore) coz i was gonna miss NDP online and the possibility of celebrating with a tong xiang (was trying to hook up with SIF two weeks before 09 08). then i found a fish facility stocked with hundreds of Singapore strain wildtype zebrafish. on 09 08 2005, 30 live embryos were collected from a cross of Singapore spotty and a YFP enhancer trap line. :)
