Of the Eve of the Birthday
Happy Birthday Singapore,but who cares.I for one prefers to stay at home and down a bottle of Pepsi Energy Cola than to have my body come in contact with numerous other strangers at the National Stadium just to watch a couple of hundred people dressed up in odd costumes,followed by the only exciting event of the night(Fireworks),which can be viewed from my parents' bathroom window,for free.

Not that i stand in my bathtub and check out the fireworks display anyway.After all,wouldnt that be an awfully weird sight to have the whole family crammed up in the narrow bathtub to catch a view of the fireworks.I havent watched the National Day Parade in years.Not even on the television.Why?Because i find it is an utter waste of time.Like i said before,i dont like the patriotic feeling that people give me."You must love your country!Long live (Any country)!".Just shut up.You dont even know who you are celebrating for.Think about it,the "person" you are supposingly celebrating for never thanked you for whatever you did for her.Who is she anyway.Its merely a small little island surrounded by the ocean in SouthEast Asia.Its like buying a large cake for that house you just bought a year ago.I wonder if that even makes sense.A four consecutive days of holiday,im feeling kinda lazy.Especially after that week of toil i am worn out.Been sleeping all day long and eating all day long.I guess i needed and deserved it.After all,this is in fact that last break before the Prelims.Oh well,the Prelims.Scary,isnt it.I have a bad feeling about it.I always have.Am i better prepared?I guess so.Better than the Mids anyway.After all,i started two months before the actual nightmare.That's got to count for something right?

Tomorrow is the day.Where people would sing lame national day songs and wave that little flag in the air.I wonder how many people at the National Stadium truly wanted to celebrate for an imaginary thing.Just like Morpheus' question from "The Matrix"."Real.How do you define real?" We can distort that question and ask,"Country.How do you define country?".Well,who cares.Im just going to sit around and do nothing on this day.Alike last year,i wanted to watch the fireworks for free at Kallang Basin.Dismissed that idea because there would be lots of people there crowding up the fields,with picnic mats and old chattering aunties.How unromantic.Most of all,no one to bring.Yay.Im getting used to it.Festivals and occasions with my room as company.Isnt this a familiar sight?Which reminds me of the song by Blur.Haha.Here's the chorus:

So give me Coffee and TV
History
I've seen so much
I'm goin blind
And i'm braindead virtually
Sociability
It's hard enough for me
Take me away from this big bad world
And agree to marry me
So we can start all over again...
