happy 40th birthday, singapore!


that's right, singapore has turned 40 today.

one of the biggest national day celebrations i've seen so far with 4 other locations, jurong east, yishun, tampines and marina south joining in the main event @ the padang via satellite link-up. fireworks at all locations, massive crowds taking part in the festivities.

what was i doing?

holed up at home catching up on sleep and reading the latest of the harry potter books. ;)

not that i wasn't patriotic or anti-social, but 'cos i'm still recovering from the cold that had started on sat night. i had even passed over the skating this morning. didn't want to exert myself too much before i'm well.

marilyn sms-ed to go and see the fireworks at the esplanade but i wasn't up for it. the thought of the crowds made harry potter that much more appealing. so i doze and read the whole day.

i'm quite a compulsive reader so i'll probably only put down the book when i've finished it... argghhh!
