National Day 2007

last evening we broke bread at this place called Brotzeit (in Vivo) which actually sort of translates into "breaking bread" ('brot'=bread and 'zeit'=snacking, hanging out?)!!!

Mr C had requested for a table with a TV to watch the NDP because nobody else but he (him?) was excited about it. he said the colour code for the night was red. argh.

some b/g info: there was a red top i wanted to wear but i was in no condition after MAMBO the night before, that ended at dawn. i got home at 5am, crashed and got my wakeup calls at 11.30am so i can be in time for tuition at 1pm, church meeting at 3pm and to leave for dinner at 5.15pm. mrs C french-braided my hair, i LOVE IT!!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!!!!!)

so yes, back to the colour code. well, i wore off red, most of the others wore red, except mrs C and Milo (and both said they were not Singaporeans anyway! hmph!) i actually don't really feel the patriotism, it was just a breach of the colour code that i was fussing about. haha. Milo's Daniel wore pink because he said, well, red and white together became pink! -_-

we had pork knuckles, salad, whole plates of different kinds of ham, beef ghoulash, beer, a red and a sparkling white. we watched the NDP and felt patriotic when the old songs like "Count On Me, Singapore", "One People, One Nation, One Singapore" and "We Are Singapore" were sung. people's eyes were all glued to the TV, including the wait staff! it was quite heartwarming to see.

ruby-doo and i stood up at different points to fake our loyalty to the nation. ahaha.

my stand on this is the same as mr C's. we feel patriotic towards the country and what it has become... but not towards the *beep*. now, of course, people will say the country is what it is because of the *beep*. *duh*. of course i know that. i admire their work. i just dislike the entire pledge cos it's not real. it's a farce. and i had whole-heartedly believed our nation was as what we pledged, when i was a child. oh well. nothing much to it lah. but yes, i know *beep* has done a good job. yaay. ok. whatever.

the dinner was costly. i'm starting to fret over how much money the Cs spend on us. but mr C has been so troubled for so long. he's had a tough year... sometimes, you wonder why some people's crosses are heavier than others. in any case, he had desired to go to Brotzeit with us for so long and we finally did it... i'm glad he had a relaxing time amongst friends and family.

it was a good evening. the wine was excellent.

i showed the women the picture of the pussy cake! everyone was thrilled enough. except Milo who said it didn't look like that! ahahahahaa!!!!!! mr C was of course, curious. the KPO that he is, he had to observe out loud that only the women were shown the picture. yeah well!!!

my hair was the winner last night too. i don't care what others say. my hair was the nicest looking hair. :P

Happy National Day to one and all.

Majulah Singapura!

*yawn*
