How time flies???


I woke up this morning, the first thing that came to my mind was this song(below)... I remember how in Primary and Secondary Schools, when Singapore's National Day is almost here, we've all gotta learn and sing the songs during our Music lessons over and over again. It's quite lame actually, but there was always a new song to look forward to, and it's prolly sang by either Tanya Chua or Stefanie Sun every year anyways... Not sure is it because 2002 was the last year of Primary School, so this song became especially memorable... Primary 6 was indeed a memorable year, with all the graduation and excitement of finally being able to attend Secondary School, also with the exams stresses and many talks given by people and teachers on how we should go about with our selections of Secondary Schools... Apart from that, there were also many many tuition classes we had to attend, although some included nice class parties:P Three major things that happened in 2002 was probably when results were out, the nerve-wrecking moment of knowing I didn't managed to get into my first choice of selection-the school my mum wanted me to attend since my brother attended that school...-.- Second was the death of my grandfather, which was weeks before the exam period, so I had to skip many many tuition classes too...:P Last but not least, was of course the breaking up with *him*:'( But overall, it just felt like yesterday when we had to sing the song, and now it has actually been 6 years later... Time really flies...

Singapore 2002 NDP Theme Song
作曲:Dick Lee 作词:Dick Lee 编曲:Kenn C.

Remember the days, we set out together with faith?
Remember the times, so fine, when we thought that
Nothing could stand in our way?

Then things weren't the same,
The life that we knew had to change
We've struggled through, the darkest storms
We thought we couldn't tame

Together we've tried, as we stood side by side
I knew we'd build a new world
A world of hope for ever after

Deep in my heart I just know,
Right from the start, we will grow
Look where we are, we've come so far
And there's still a long, long way to go.

With all of my heart, I will care
I'll play my part, I will share
With family and friends, together we'll stand
And in the end, hand in hand
We will get there

So now we begin, working together to win
Believe in trust, it must
Be possible to overcome anything

There's so much to do,
There's so much we can contribute
By sharing just a little love
We will start again anew

So why don't we try?
If we stand side by side
I know we'll build a new world
A world of hope for ever after

Deep in my heart I just know,
Right from the start, we will grow
Look where we are, we've come so far
And there's still a long, long way to go.

With all of my heart, I will care
I'll play my part, I will share
With family and friends, together we'll stand
And in the end, hand in hand
We will get there

Deep in my heart I just know,
Right from the start, we will grow
Look where we are, we've come so far
And there's still a long, long way to go.

With all of my heart, I will care
I'll play my part, I will share
With family and friends, together we'll stand
And in the end, hand in hand
We will get there
