OUR SINGAPORE
(Music and lyrics by Dick Lee Sung by JJ Lin)
It isn’t easy building something out of nothing
Especially when the road ahead’s a rocky one
But if we gather all our courage and conviction
And hold our dream up high
The challenge will be won
So now we look around us and we see
A nation built with love by you and me
A land to treasure right down to the core
Our home, our heart, our Singapore
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our home, our heart, our Singapore
Through many years gone by we’ve moved ahead together
We’ve built a brave new world where we could shine and grow
And now we only have to look towards tomorrow
To carry on the dream as far as it will go.
So now we look around us and we see
A nation built with love by you and me
A land to treasure right down to the core
Our home, our heart, our Singapore
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our home, our heart, our Singapore
And amazing as it seems
It all started with a dream
And our dreaming isn’t done
‘Cause the best is yet to come
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our home, our heart, our Singapore
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Our home
Our heart
Our dream
Our Singapore
In celebration of Singapore’s 50th birthday, the Niwa-ians and staff at Niwa Schoolhouse have jointly prepared a spectacular birthday present entitled, ‘Our Heart, Our Home, Our Singapore.’ for our motherland.
The birthday gift is a model map of Modern Singapore created using a mixed media of art techniques such as ‘body painting’, ‘collage’, ‘modelling’ and ‘drawing’ by the passionate children and adults at Niwa Schoolhouse.
On this map, not only you will spot some of Singapore’s iconic landmarks namely, ‘Marina Bay Sand’, ‘Gardens by the Bay’, ‘Jubilee Bridge’, ‘Singapore Flyer’,‘ Changi Airport’, but also less symbolic landmarks like ‘Seletar Air Base’ and ‘Singapore Zoo’ which are intentionally and strategically placed and located on the masterpiece.
A birthday celebration is not complete without a cake and candles.
On the 6th day of August, our Niwa-ians and teachers donned their reds and whites as they sang and clapped along to the traditional song of “Happy Birthday” right before the lovely baked and decorated ‘SG50’ cake.
“HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE!”
We wish Singapore Prosperity, Progress and Peace in the next 50 years to come!
Majulah Singapura!
P.S. Do swing by and check out our project work displayed at the reception. See ye!
