Before I realised, I am losing excitement over national day.. it comes every year without fail but the novelty just wears off.. When I was young, I remember I will hurry my parents home before the parade starts and occupy a seat before the television, watching the live broadcast which I deemed interesting.. I love the national day pop songs, esp Home.. The tune makes me feel comforted whenever I heard it. And at that time, 1 month before national day, the TV will start broadcasting the MTV nearly everyday.. esp before the 6.30 news. No matter what I was doing then, I would dash out into the living room just to watch the music video again.. Later, as years goes by, the publicity for the songs get lesser and lesser.. We rarely get to hear it on TV and as the music industry gets more commercialised, the songs aren't as touching as the first..

In sec sch days, I looked forward to national day.. cos we will have class outings on that day.. haaz.. and the sch celebrations are always so fun.. when we reached the climax of the celebration, that is the singing of the national day songs, the whole class will all stand on the chairs in the audi, holding hands, waving our hands as we sing along.. if not, we will all put our hands on the person in front of u, forming a 'chuchu' train and run around the audi.. everything is so fun, the atmosphere gets so high, the class gets so bonded.. I remember watching the fireworks with JT 2 years back at the esplanade area.. We were all so enthu abt the outing and the fireworks seemed so beautiful at that time cos u have so many people squeezing, watching with u.. I miss those times..

Now, in JC, maybe I just didn't give myself the chance to rekindle the national day memories by attending the collage celebrations, I am just not excited over the coming holiday.. not excited over the celebration, not excited over anything.. The only thing I am looking forward to.. is our class lunch.. lol..

maybe all these are just normal.. as we grow up, holidays will only become a routine and we will only view it as a day to rest or a day to have the time to do our revisions, to catch up on our work..
