Happy 50th Birthday Singapore!


Aiseh! Breathtaking aerial display by the Republic of Singapore Air Force Black Knights!


Everything also SG50...

Unfortunately, the gloomy and foggy skies meant that most of the photos turned out greyish. Doesn't take away the fact that they put on a brilliant performance over Marina South Pier!

Majulah Singapura!

There was a time when people said that Singapore won’t make it but WE did! We did it because we came together as one United Singapore to build it from a swamp to a metropolis.

This year, there’s a genuine National Day spirit around Singapore. Maybe it’s because of the #SG50 initiatives (which some may have bordered on excessive) or maybe it’s simply because everyone is just proud that Singapore has come this far and done so well in such a short space of time.

A year on since I last pulled out the S Pen for a sketch on Sketchbook... Last year it was the State Flag Flypast above Marina Bay Sands for SG49. For ‪SG50‬, the first sketch is of one of two Singapore Airlines Airbus A380s that features a ‪#‎Singapore‬ flag-themed design on its fuselage.

Spent most of this week working on the 2 National Day sketches. My 2nd little gift for Singapore’s 50th birthday 🎁 is a re-imagination of the photo I took from 2012 beside the Merlion. It has the Singapore Airlines plane from the 1st sketch incorporated into it.

I am proud to call myself a Singaporean. I am proud of this little red dot for this is Home, truly! 🏠

Happy Birthday Singapore! Majulah Singapura!
