This was the god knows how many freakin' time I didn't get the National Day Parade tickets. All the time wasted inputting names of friends and family at the AXS machine...boo hoo! Well these are the two NDP reditions which are still concurrently playing on TV. Another year of facing the telly on National Day. Hoo....ray... hoo....ray... DOH!

Prefer the year when Tanya Chua sang "Where I Belong", Kit is just too loud.
There's No Place I'd Rather Be
Artiste: Kit Chan

I’ve walked the streets of Cairo & Bombay
I’ve seen the neon signs on old Broadway
I’ve climbed the Eiffel Tower
The Great Wall in one hour
Experienced Sweet and Sour
But that’s okay
Seen Hollywood, the sunsets in LA
The London Bridge, Big Ben, the Thames, UK
I’ve crossed the River Kwai
Yet still I don’t know why
I think of you each night and every day
There’s no place I’d rather be
You’ll always be a part of me
And even though I’ve roamed the world
It’s still my home I long to see
This is where my family
And my friends grew up with me
So I’ll cross the skies and sail the seas
To be where I wanna be
There’s no place I’d rather be
You’ll always be a part of me
And even though I’ve roamed the world
It’s still my home I long to see
This is where my family
And my friends grow old with me
So I’ll cross the skies and sail the seas
To be where I wanna be
Cos there’s no place I’d rather be
- Will You -
Um...If there was a bit more beat and bass, 'will you' think it might be a techno version. Just not my cup of tea. Eek!
Will You?

Will you make this island
Amazing in all ways?
Surprises every corner,
Delightful nights and days.
Will you take this country
And turn it from a place
To a home that greets you
With smiles on every face?
Will you come on this brave journey?
Will you help to make it real?
Will you write us grand new stories,
Songs that everyone will feel?
So...Will you swim the current?
Will you scale new heights?
Will you make it happen,
Will you let your dreams take flight?
And...Will you make the difference?
Will you seize the day?
Will you live each moment,
Will you dare to find new ways?
Will you take this city
And turn it from a place
To home that greets you
With smiles on every face
Dare to find, dare to find, dare to find new ways!
