Counting down to 9 Aug..

There is this small fishing village, now it became one of the world busiest ports.
Singapore. A very young nation, less than 200 years.

Channel News Asia, last Sunday 7.30pm screen a documentary on 'the history of Singapore'.
A 3hrs documentary, made by Discovery Channel, for 2005 when Singapore celebrated her 40th years of Independance.

It was this very first episode, "Raffles' Little Child", which caught my attention.
We were taken to the earliest stage of Singapore. Honestly, a land lacking in natural resources,
yet caught Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles to making Singapore into a trading port.

If Sir Stamford Raffles is still around, we would go to celebrate National Day at his house.
He will be very much delighted to see how Singapore had become today.

No matter you are a Singaporean or not, this set of 3-DVD documentary, is a good collection to have. (I bought my DVD from LaserFlair by 'accident' , because the only link i could find online is a link to Popular Books. That day i went to LaserFlair to shop for other DVDs, intend to go Popular Books right that to look for "the History of Singapore" DVD.)

(Hope that by this time, the Discovery Channel online store is selling this DVD box set.)
It is marketed by Universal Music Singapore Limited, i was quite surprise, i do not know their relationship.

Now go and experience the awakening of the little red dot, though small but giant in trading. Again, all is like nothing but plain miracle! Singapore has survived, as of David vs Goliath, or like the Hobbits in the Lord of the Rings.

Small become big, will we continue to grow stronger and richer? The city's future is in the hands of its people.
