I was just revisiting some of our previous NDP songs over the last few years, and I realised that the 2001 NDP song entitled “Where I Belong” written by Tanya Chua is brilliant.
The more I listen to it, the more I like it.
It’s a fantastic song.
Great job, Tanya Chua!

My Singapore
Music & Lyrics by Jeremy Yew
When I take a look around me in this city that I love
In our island so beautiful and free
See the red and white, the stars, the crescent flying high above
I think of how it flies for you and me
Hand in hand we’re marching onward, strive to do the [...]

This is good stuff.

I WAS proud of Singapore when I first read the lyrics to this year’s National Day theme song Shine For Singapore.
The song made me reminisce about songs of past National [...]

NDP Song (Plus Songwriting Process)
Monday, 7 July, 2008
I am currently working on a new National Day song to be presented at this month’s Songcraft session.
Have been working on it for exactly one week now, but it’s still incomplete. It’s posing quite a few problems, but I kinda like what I have at the moment so I’ll continue working on it.
It’s the usual [...]
This Year Got NDP Song Or Not?
Thursday, 3 July, 2008
Anyone knows if there is an NDP theme song this year? Seems like it has yet to be unleashed upon us.
There’s supposed to be at least one new song every year right? How about this year, 2008?
I’m keen to know who wrote this year’s song (if any). Have been scouring the official NDP website but [...]
“Celebrating The Singapore Spirit”…Huh?
Thursday, 15 May, 2008
Article from CNA website: “Celebrating the Singapore Spirit” is theme for this year’s NDP
Excerpts:
This year’s National Day Parade is about “Celebrating the Singapore Spirit”. The big show will be held at the Marina Bay for the second year running. But organisers are injecting many new elements, to bring the parade very much closer to spectators. [...]

The Infamous “Jimmy Ye” Post
Tuesday, 7 August, 2007
I was looking at my wordpress blog stats today and noticed that I’d been receiving quite a number of hits from “starblog.stomp.com.sg…” as follows:
Huh??? I wondered.
Someone from STOMP’s starblog site must have been linking to one of my posts.
So I began to investigate.
And after a bit of investigation, I found out the answer:
Joe Augustin, one [...]
