A time when I love seeing those National Day Flags stuffed with sweets in its holder
And wished that mummy would buy one for me.

A time when I used to draw lovely pictures during art classes
And strive to draw better next year.

A time when I sang my hearts out those patriotic National Day songs during assembly
And really grew to love Singapore.

A time when I thought the rows of flags hung outside each HDB apartment look beautiful
And hope that everyone would diligently hang one too.

A time when my sis and I would excitedly watch National Day parade
And imagined that we were there watching live.

A time when it was the only time when Singaporeans can watch fireworks
And wished that it will never end.

A time when I had a chance to perform during National Day parade
And felt pretty proud and important to be part of it.

A time when the National Day tickets were so hot
And everyone had to queue for it for days.

A time when someone queued for the tickets overnight for me
And I was very touched by him.

A time when both of us enjoyed the parade
And I wished we could watch it again together.

A time when I got so busy
And I forgot all about watching.

A time when I got so tired of watching the same old mass display every year
And I stopped watching it.

A time when I wished I had the same excitement I had all those years
And stop feeling emotionless.

This year, a mini National Day Flag sits on my table to remind me of my memories I had.

Just that this one still does not have sweets stuffed in its holder...
