Yesterday marked National Day, more known as the day we gained Independence from the Malaysian Penninsula. While I shall not go into politics here (one can always look up the various versions and perspectives of this historical event), this day has always been celebrated with a public holiday filled with lots of fanfare, from the putting up of flags at housing estates, colourful military displays to the firewords that mark the end of the National Day Parade.

I, however, spent the day at home reading a book and getting some quiet time for myself. I guess I’m one of the more apathetic ones around who would rather enjoy the day as a break from work rather than any other special day. And to all the Singaporeans reading this : how did you spend your National Day holiday? Were you like me?
