Some tweets from National Day Rally 2010
1.@mrbrown: Rapturous applause breaks out at the end of the Chinese segment of PM Lee's National Day Rally. Audience toilet break!
2.@mrbrown: Canada welcomes immigrants, so Microsoft hires talent there. Canada, as we all know, is the same size as Singapore.
3.@mrbrown: Had to take a break from PM's speech to help kid wash backside after poopoo. Back to tv. Yep, PM still on immigrants.
5.@coughybean: #NDRsg hits two-hour mark without a single unexpected twist, closely resembling every M. Night Shyamalan movie this decade.
6.@ilovemudding:"At least if you miss one, the next train will come in a few minutes" #statingtheobvious
7.@_danielchoo: Raise the transport charges and ask for patience. Genius.
8.@kkyz13: 1 extra train for morning rush hour! OMG ONE EXTRA TRAIN!!! OMG I WET MYSELF IN EXCITEMENT. *sarcasm* (I passed him a twitter tissue, just in case)
9.@yuhui: Singapore growth rate: 2008: 1%, 2009: -1%, 2010: projected 15%. PM Lee says that makes it average 5%. Lots of analysts are ROFLMAO.
11.@mrbrown: I tell you what. Here is $9000, I put into the government's CPF account, then we forget about the National Service. Deal?
12.@fakestcom: Breaking news: The next National Day Rally will be in one year's time. (Frankly, I feel that very day should be NDR. 3 hours of tv settled.)
13.@mrbrown: http://mrbrwn.co/dpNg9o Best paid political leader in the world tells his people to lower wage expectations.
15.@Fake_PMLee: MPs cheer #NDRsg speech. Yes, I expect nothing less from them.
17.@csllim: aiya, just simply say "I want you all to do it without rubber"
19.@k0pio: how come this year's #ndrsg no mee siam mai hum
20.@huiminchan: Wonder what we will say to the next generation: 'You don't know hardship, during my time we only have one train every 2 min.'
22.@esotism: it would be so awesome if all #NDRSG tweets appeared on a huge screen behind the PM on TV
23.@rheumatic_anus: @Fake_PMLee I think you should explain further that the ONE extra train during peak hour is actually a very very very long train.
24.@rheumatic_anus: The best way to integrate immigrants with citizens is to intercourse them.
25.@kixes: Did the PM say that the 4 races of SGP are Chinese, Indians, Malays and The Others?! I KNEW IT, WE ARE THE ISLAND OF LOST!
26.@WhispersWW: Thoroughly enjoyed the #ndrsg timeline! Ironic, humorous, biting, observant and just plain expressive, engaging & interactive :-D
27.@AdrC82: Why this year no Jack Neo mentioned in #NDRSG 2010?

Just watched this musical last weekend. Haven really been to a real musical, other than those I saw in the movies which i have always liked, and it's an enjoyable 2.5hrs. Even though the singing in this musical wasn't that great, even with Taufik among its cast, the story and acting makes up for it. And of course, with DickLee as the creator, you can expect localised jokes that makes you laugh.
Watching this musical kind of makes me wanna book another for year end:
But I suppose I will put that on hold first, wanna catch this first =)
On a side note, I'm lagging behind in my training.. must have been crazy to sign up for the full marathon!!

Nice Thai song.. from the movie "Best of Times".
จะได้ไม่ลืมกัน Ja Dai Mai Luem Gan So We Won't Forget Each Other
ไกล สุดฟ้า · ก็ ไม่สามารถ กั้น เรา
sùt fáa · gôr mâi săa-mâat gân rao
Far 'til horizon, still cannot separate us
แค่ ห่าง แค่เพียง เอื้อมมือ
kâe hàang kâe piang êuam meu
Just a reach apart
แต่ การ ...ได้ รัก เธอ · นั่น คือ ของสำคัญ กว่า
dtàe gaan ... dâi rák ter · nân keu kŏng săm-kan gwàa
But to love you... that's a more impotant matter
และ มัน มีค่า มากเกิน กว่า สิ่ง ไหน ไหน
láe man mee kâa mâak gern gwàa sìng năi năi
And its worth more that any other things
*[ฉัน ขอ สัญญา ...· จะ จำ ทุก เรื่องราว

No matter whether it's bad or good, happy or sad
ฉัน จะ ทบทวน · เรื่องราว ของเธอ ตลอดไป

เผื่อ วันสุดท้าย ที่ ฉัน หายใจ ...จะ ได้ ไม่ลืม เธอ

Just so that day I take my last breathe... I'll will not forget you ]
ปลาย ขอบฟ้า กับ ระเบียง ที่ เรา เคย นั่ง มอง ท้องฟ้า ด้วยกัน
bplaai kòp fáa gàp rá-biang têe rao koie nâng mong tóng fáa dûay gan
Horizon and the balcony that we used to sit and watch the sky together
ต้นไม้ ...ต้น นั้น · จะ ดูแลรักษา มัน

The tree... That tree, I'll look after
แทน ความคิดถึง · เมื่อ เธอ ไม่อยู่ ตรง นี้
taen kwaam kít tĕung · mêua ter mâi yòo dtrong née
In lieu of missing you when you're not here

โปรดจง มั่นใจ...
