National Day Parade Theme Song

This year, Singapore will be celebrate her's 45th Birthday. This year theme will be Live our Dreams, Fly Our Flag! And the theme song is 'Song for Singapore'. It is written and sing by Corrinne May.

I love this year theme song. It's really touches my heart. There are many Singaporeans who pursue their dreams and at the same time, they fly our flag proudly! Like some of the local singers who is based in overseas and make us proud!

Some of the actor/singers are quite well-known in Entertainment industry like the following singers:

1) Arron Aziz who is Singaporean Male actor is now based in Malaysia.

2) Ah- Du is Singaporean Male singer is now based in Taiwan.

3) Corrinne May (Corrinne Foo May Ying) is Singaporean Female Singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles.

4) Stefanie Sun Yan Zi is Singaporean Female Singer who is now based in Taiwan.

5) Sun Ho (Ho Yeow Sun) is Singaporean Female singer who is now based in USA and Taiwan.

6) Tanya Chua is Singaporean Female singer who is now based in Taiwan.

It is impossible for me to write all the actor/singer on the list but this is the few examples who lives their dream and fly our flag proudly!

Even some of my friends are based in differences part of the world who pursue their dreams. We should give them encouragement and morale supports! It is not easy to live such a comfortable zone and move to foreign lands. What's more, you need to start everything again. You need to know their languages, you need to make friends with them, You also need to get use to the new environment.

I really admire those who willingness to pursue their dreams. Let's us work together to

LIVE OUR DREAMS, FLY OUR FLAG!
