Teh O siu dai. This is how I usually start my Sunday mornings.

But today, as I slurp up my favourite bowl of beehoon, and sip on my pipping hot tea, I feel a sense of pride and gratefulness which I have not felt before. Today, Singapore turns 50 years old. And the reason I can eat this bowl of noodles and drink this cup of tea without having to worry about not having a roof over my head, or not having enough water, is because of the people who have worked so hard to make it all happen. The uncle and aunties who have to wake up early in the morning to serve us with delicious food, the cleaners who help keep our country clean, and the leaders of Singapore who have led us to where we are today, and so many more. As I was about to leave after eating, I thanked the uncle and aunty for the good bowl of bar chor mee. Beaming with pride, they waved goodbye and wished us a happy national day.

This is home. And I couldn't be more thankful to have one that has beautiful views, impeccable food, and people who live in peace and harmony.
