It turns out that that's the best my sister and I can do about the banners in the marquee. It's quite okay, I guess. Thank you, star~wolf! I love my sister! ^^
Anyway, this is Singapore's flag.
Red symbolises universal brotherhood and equality of man. White signifies pervading and everlasting purity and virtue.
The crescent moon represents a young nation on the ascendant. The five stars stand for the nation's ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality.
Cool, huh? I had to memorise all that in Primary 5 - when I was 11 years old.
The flag is so simple to draw that I used to make one every National Day. Then come along the plastic flags sold at shops and I stopped making them. haha...
Every August, we 'fly' the flag... put it up in front of our houses, displaying our patriotism. The thing is, the flag is put over the ledge. And sometimes, people put their laundry on top of the flag, covering the flag. This is a big no-no. You may get fined - I think.
I think that kind of behaviour is inappropriate. I mean, it's our country's flag! We should respect it! I hate people who put things over their flag, and covering the nice flag.
I don't know why, but I am feeling very patriotic this past few days. Even my site is about Singapore! *shakes head* Must be because National Day is just around the corner... I am so excited! ^^
The poem recital this morning turned out okay. My teacher recited an excerpt from a very sweet poem. It was so touching...
Anyway, I don't think I'll be making anymore changes to my site. I think it's quite okay, so I'll leave it at that.
Tomorrow will be a long day. I have to help set up the stage for the National Day Celebration in my school. Monday is the day of celebration itself. Tuesday is National Day - so it's a public holiday. And so is the day after that. Two days of holiday! Yay!
Hope all of you are in as high spirit as I am. ^^
Have a nice day! |
