What does it mean to a singaporean? Why am i proud to be singaporean?

We believe these are some pertinent questions that we, being Singaporeans, should ponder about. NDP is an opportunity for us to slow down, put aside our work and reflect on these issues.

'not just a spectator, but also a participant' - Chairman Exco

A Singapore event for Singaporeans. ndp is not just about ndp. It's not just a one-day parade and show for the sake of entertaining. It is not a discrete event. It is about involving all Singaporeans from the start throughout the entire journey before culminating in a nation-wide celebration.

Anchoring on the meanings of our pledge, this year's parade promises to gather all Singaporeans regardless of race, language or religion, despite their social and economic status.

Schools are invited to get their students to discuss ndp. Community centres are prompted to hold screenings of the parade to get family and friends to join in the fun. Every Singaporeans matter, including the less privileged. Netizens and overseas Singaporeans can join in the celebrations virtually, be it through facebook, youtube, twitter, blog or flickr.

Our chairman exco expressing his hopes that everyone
will come together to celebrate National Day

The price of independence?

However, some are concerned that ndp may potentially pose a distraction with other issues at hand - the current economic crisis, swine flu etc.

NDP is a day for recognition of singapore's survival and preservation, this is our national day, our day of independence, what price would you put on it? The Singaporean spirit, that and that alone, is a worthy cause for celebration.

Personally, we find it very heartwarming that people from all
walks of life, be them elderly grandparents or young innocent kids, nsmen or the less privileged, are coming together to have this grand annual party!

In fact, we volunteered our time and energy to participate in this event just to see this synergy happen =)

come together - reaching out - reaching up

From various backgrounds we come together. We reach out to one another to become one united people. As one, we reach up to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation.

Right here is the right website for everyone
who wants to understand this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue
with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a new spin on a subject that has been discussed for many years.

Unfortunately these more compact designs have
come at a great cost and have become far more susceptible to any kind of a
liquid spillage. In mid-2009 the third generation landed and it was more than a year later, in October 2010, that we were treated to
the new super-skinny design ' a design that was once again revamped in July 2011. It was a great investment and I found that it's better to
not sweat the small stuff.

It can help you in your business life, school, or personal
life. Fadell has worked with Steve Jobs for several years and architected Apple's i - Pod and the first few versions of the i - Phone, some of the most successful consumer electronics products in our time. You paid a lot of money for the compressor to cool these coils, right.

It is a GPS Smartphone and enabled with A-GPS with
Google Maps allowing you to navigate through your city, or an unknown one,
with ease. Irrespective of class and standard, this most significant communication
tool is now important for all as we need food, water, shelter
etc. The design of the phone with slightly round
configuration makes it common to the looks of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
