Flying the Singapore Flag: Happy 41st Birthday!

I was in a taxi cab. It had a decal at the front windscreen: “Join the celebration. Fly our flag.”

The cab passed by several housing estates. Considerably less flags hanging out of the windows this year, I thought.

Out with my friends the other day, someone asked me if I considered myself patriotic. I looked up the word later. This definition says: “Feeling, expressing, or inspired by love for one’s country.” Another one says: “Love and devotion for one’s country.”

I asked myself if one had to hang a flag (on National Day) to show one’s patriotism (i.e. support for the country).

I don’t know. Flying a flag doesnt mean you love Singapore.
So ugly to block their cock.

And being in the National Day Parade doesnt mean you love Singapore.

I have to tell you I didn’t hang a flag this year.

To be honest, I was lazy too busy. The flag from previous years was faded and I was lazy too busy to get a replacement. I also found it hassle to take out the flag and attach/ detach it later. So ma fun.

But you know what? I will still “fly” two flags.

One in my blog. You cannot have missed it. It’s at the start of this post.
This blog is my home in the internet. Since I am lazy too busy, I won’t need to wash this flag, and it wouldn’t fade.

Oh yes, the second flag… …This one, it’s always worn. But you can’t see it.

I fly it in my heart.

Happy birthday, Singapore.
Happy 41st birthday, Singaporeans.

Rock on.
