National Day always passes by with songs and messages of nationalism, national pride, family values and all that. Want to sing about the greatness of a nation? Try this.
Singapore, Singapore,
Don't you know your own beauty?
Singapore, Lion's Roar,
You were made in His glory
So open your hearts
And open your eyes
'Cos the Father loves you so
Lion arise,
Arise and find your song
I wrote that over the summer in response to hearing Dan McCollam (one of the keynote speakers at the worship conference I was at) say that "Singapore's a beautiful place, but even more beautiful are the people" (or something like that). We go about everyday, busying ourselves with important stuff, serving others and loving them but never knowing how precious and valuable we are.
After I got my new camera, I started bringing it around with me and trying to capture beauty in the things I see everyday. Photography is a way to worship God just by capturing the beauty in moments around us which we don't usually see. Of course, it helps to have a good camera with a good zoom. ;D Check out the pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/sicheng.su/Home#. Here's a preview of Tang's shopping centre, taken from across Scotts Road (had to try several times to avoid getting a car in the middle of the picture blocking the sign)
You're welcome to check out the rest of the album if you have time. :)
