Happy 48th Birthday Singapore

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

This is my ALL-TIME favourite NDP song! This is Singapore 2002 NDP Theme song and sung by Stefanie Sun. The song has this unity-vibe and it just pulls you into the mode of singing along. 



NDP 2003 Theme Song: One United People by Stefanie Sun

One Singapore, 
One Nation strong and free 
A thousand different voices
Sing in harmony 
We will stand together
Together hand in hand 
As One united people 
One united people 
One united people 
For Singapore, my homeland
This one also my favourite. The lyrics also gets you to sing along, reminding you to stand united together with many other Singaporeans. 


NDP 2004 Theme Song: Home by Young Voices

Even though is remixed for 3 child soloists and a girls' choir for 2004's NDP, it is still as good as the original one sang by Kit Chan.


NDP 2005 Theme Song: Reach out for the Skies by Rui En & Taufik

I remember this song as in Primary School I got perform with other kids too.  
I met Taufik when I went to Mediacorp to support Cyril for his TheFinalOne competition. He has his own charm and his own make-up assistant. 


My Island Home by Kaira Gong (NDP 2006 Theme Song)

Kaira has a warm, soulful voice. Love her singing and this song reminds me that Singapore is my island home! I'm here to stay~
