Friends

I know I've posted this a lot of times, but then again, sometimes, we all need a reminder.

Friends and family are the most important things in our lives. Relationships with people, how to get along, how not to hate anyone, just being genial etc. are some of the most important life skills we get as we grow up.

Sadly, when we enter the work force, when we are studying, we seem to forget about the term friends. I know people who view others as "competition" - oh! that guy is competing with me for the post of senior manager, or - oh! I must be friends with him because he's going to be successful one day.

What happened to good old friendship?

I wish life never became the rat race it is now, and we can all sit around a table, drink long island tea and talk over prata and eggs. Or just chill at each others' house over night, a game of mahjong, a supper of mee goreng pattaya.

These are the memories I look forward to reliving and sharing with my gf when I'm back in SG:).

Happy Birthday, Singapore. Home.

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Chorus:
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home

When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That homes about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore

Chorus(repeat 2X)
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone
For this is where I know it's home
(For this is where I know, I'm HOME)
