HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!”

During my family’s outing to Sentosa last year, I came to know more about Singapore, when we visited the “Images of Singapore”. It showed how Singapore transformed from a small fishing village to a modern city.
Sentosa is one of our many famous tourist attractions. There are many other places of interest like Singapore Zoological Gardens, Jurong Bird Park, Botanic Gardens and Merlion Park. Recently, I had an enjoyable ride on our new Singapore Flyer, where I got the most beautiful view of Singapore. Last September, Singapore was proud to host our first Formula 1 night race which attracted many more tourists.
Our visitors can have a wonderful time shopping in the many shopping malls along Orchard Road. In our neighbourhoods, there are also many new shopping malls with attractive shopping themes and various food restaurants. One of my favourite food is the Hainanese Chicken Rice which is also one of our famous local cuisine. In Singapore, we get to have many choices of delicious local food cuisines because we have different races living together. We also have easy access to a great variety of cuisines from many other countries.
Every year, I like to celebrate our National Day with my family and my grandparents. We enjoyed watching the National Day Parade with the exciting parachute jumps, Fighter Jets’ air display, the marching past and many interesting multi-cultural shows. Last year, I celebrated it differently. It was the first time I celebrated National Day in school. I had a wonderful time! My joy was captured in a photograph and posted in our school’s blog.
I am happy to live in an eco-friendly environment with many friends from the different ethnic groups in my housing estate. I am proud to be a Singapore Citizen. I wish her “Happy Birthday” and all the best for the future.
“Majulah Singapura! Majulah Singapura!”
