Today we celebrate Singapore’s 46th birthday since independence. There will be a celebration tonight at the floating platform at Marina Bay. The kids and I will be watching the parade live on our new flat screen TV in the comfort of our living room.
Here are 10 things which I like about National Day this year.
- We get to watch the parade on our new 46″ SMART TV.
- The kids get two days off school ( today and tomorrow) and I don’t need to rush to get them ready for school.
- Most people are headed for the beach or overseas for a short vacation therefore the shopping centers are not so crowded. The roads too are less crowded today.
- Many places are having special sales and discounts up to 20% due to mark this special day.
- I managed to get a new pair of shoes and the crockery that I have been looking for from the department store.
- We had a leisurely breakfast without the boys as they were over at the grandparents place.
- The weather has been good. It’s isn’t too hot nor pouring buckets.
- The boys get to ride their bikes with their dad.
- I get to enjoy spending time with the whole family.
- It’s the start of birthday celebrations for my good friends and me who are all August babies.

I love long holidays. It’s almost like a free day or days.
