down and out..
Sunday, August 06, 2006
standing in the Train.. i leaned my head against the cold window.. the torrential downpour battered the ground below as winds formed mist of rain which clouded the landscape, declining visibility to the beautiful landscape which offers solace to me.. the past week has been rather demoralising, not only because of the slanderous remarks posted on my tagboard.. forcing me to switch to one which offers better function, sacrificing the beautiful layout flooble had to offer.. the weather had been getting on to me, the lack of sleep seems to be taking a toll on me as i slept till 11 today.. a long 12hours sleep.. something i never accomplished before... probably due to the late nights i spent pouring through my books..
Even so.. i refuse to bow down to these trivial matters for life has several more important event installed for me..
Putting that aside.. Our Nation's Bdae is coming.. its 41st birthday.. celebrated for the last time at the national stadium with the theme.. Our Global City, Our Home.

This year's logo embraces our theme "Our Global City, Our Home". It depicts a globe with the little red island of Singapore as its focal point. Despite our small size, our island is widely recognized for its thriving economy, its connectivity to the world and its emerging role on the international stage.
The use of multi-coloured brushstrokes demonstrates our vibrancy as a nation. The merging of the different colours into one icon connotes our unity and harmony as a multi-racial and multi-religious society. The treatment of the brushstrokes gives the logo an Asian feel. It denotes that while Singapore is evolving into a global city, we do not forget our roots and Asian values.
The futuristic black font shows our boldness and that we are forward looking in shaping our future as a nation.
