This is the first year I am celebrating National Day overseas and I am super homesick. I just watched Channel Newsasia this morning, a special report on National Day for overseas Singaporeans, and caught a short interview with violinist Lee Hui Min (can't remember how to spell her name). She said something that struck my heart. There are certain things that u take for granted in Singapore. But once you are overseas and these things are not available, they become special to you. My exact sentiments.
But I guess majority of my homesickness also comes from missing my family. We usually "tah paw" some food back for dinner (like sashimi if we are feeling rich or teo chew porridge if we are feeling stuffed!) and spend the evening watching the National Day Parade. It has become part of a routine for us to spend our holiday. Something which I miss greatly.
Happy Birthday, Singapore!
