Children's day

Its 12 mins past midnite so Children's Day is officially over. Its been 14 years since I last celebrated Children's Day, where we get a day off from school and we have to sing the "SAMA SAMA MEJUGE HADAPAN.." song. Until now I still dont know what the hell the song meant.
I still remember during Children's Day, my mum will wake me and my younger brother up early in the morning, and rush all the way down to the old Plaza Singapura to attend the annual Children's Day Carnival. They will give out goodie bags and have lots of games and entertainment for the kids. Of course being the super kiasu mum, she want us there to queue for the goodie bags. Haha...the goodie bags contain mostly foodstuff...sweets for the kids and I cant remember what else. All I remember is the queue is freaking long. Everything seems to be quite enjoyable until I went to secondary school and my mum still drag me to the carnival with my bro. As I was really small sized for my age, my mum happily pass me off as a primary school kid and forced me to queue for the goodie bag. It was kinda embaressing. Luckily the madness soon ended when she realised that I am really getting too old to be called a Primary 6 boy every year. Hmm, or is it becos Plaza Singapura closed down for major facelift? Haha, I really cant remember...but those were the days, the days of innocence...where a small bag of sweets is enough to make you happy....
