Golden Jubilee

It is the time of the year!! 9 August is Singapore's national day. This year is the 50th year of independence for Singapore.

This day, every year, is not only very special to our fellow Singaporeans, but is especially special to me. This is because, it is not only Singapore's birthday, it is my dad's as well.

I am lucky to have a dad be born on the same day, same month and the same year as Singapore. My dad is basically Singapore's twin brother. I know i might sound shameless saying this but I am so proud and I secretly feel that my dad is special.

Actually everyone feels this way about their parents. Who am I kidding.

It was kind of a disappointment for me though. I mean like hey, my dad is a Singaporean and he is born on the same day as Singapore's independence day, don't we at least get a ticket to see the national day parade live? 

I did not even get to see it live for once. I really wanted to go watch it but no one had a ticket. My whole family signed up for the lucky draw but none of us got it. 

Dad actually had a birthday breakfast with the community club at Pasir Ris. I was secretly hoping the president of the cc had kept some ndp tickets for us and gave each family four tickets, But all they did there was eat a buffet and cut a huge long ass SG50 cakes. 

The cake looked pretty simple though, but it looks good. Too bad I chose sleep over those and only both my parents went instead. It was organized for only those whose birthdays fall on the National Day.

Mom bought a cake for dad and its a national day cake. This is how it looks like.

Yeap, and this video right here is a video of the whole Pang family singing the happy birthday song too my dad with my little cousin being too overly-excited. I apologize if the video quality is bad. It was a video I took on snapchat and saved it just to upload. 

Add my on snapchat at sharleeennn if you have one!

Oh yeah and the picture of the cake is also taken from my snapchat. Been a little tight on my memory space in my phone. Sigh, this is a disaster to teenagers who loves to take too many pictures and only decides to upload 1.

Went to Nex today before we cut the cake for my dad. I went to bought a tote bag at only $12.90, will upload a photo of it soon. I also bought a pencil case and a fish eye lens from the same store. The pencil case costs $6.90 and the fish eye lens costs $14.90 which comes with a micro lens and a macro lens as well. 

Went to catch 'Fantastic Four' at the Shaw's theater as well. I would rate the movie a 10 actually. If i had watched the trailer I would probably not watch the show. Throughout half the show I thought I entered the wrong theater. I thought fantastic four was all about super powers.

Half the movie shows them building a teleportation machine. I just realized is teleportation not a word? Cuz it is highlighted in red zigzag underlines. Yeah and only till near the end do I realize oh yes I am in the right theater. 

I even checked the ticket a few times to make sure I did not enter the wrong hall. The movie was overall boring. To me. I wouldn't know about others. 

Oh yes and Sogurt is having their SG50 special flavor which is Milo flavored!! Who doesn't love milo flavored stuff. Whoever loves milo can head down to Sogurt right now! Who knows when this flavor stops selling. I do not know if they also have this flavor in other outlets but the outlet I went to was at Nex!

I am pretty tired tonight. It is like 3am right now and I am typing this.

Once again, Happy belated birthday to Singapore and Daddy!
