National Anthem

The main body of the battalion arrived today. As with past ICTs, there will always be a Commanding Officer's (CO) Briefing at the start of the ICT with the entire battalion in attendance. Preceding this brief is the singing of Majulah Singapura (the National Anthem) and the recitation of the SAF Pledge.

What really amazed me is that despite not singing the anthem at all throughout the year, but when the music came on, somehow, the lyrics just flowed.... Magical, isn't it? Come to think of it, we were 'forced' to sing it daily back in schools and the lyrics didn't even flow as smoothly. But this morning, it simply flowed... I'm awed!

Do you ever sing it during National Day be it being played on TV or live? I doubt.....
