being at a wedding dinner, i missed the prime minister's three-language national day broadcast. no doubt there will be a repeat telecast in a few days, but i did want very much to hear him at his last national day address, and felt particularly sorry not to be home. i like him a great deal, and am truly sorry that he will not stay another term. i don't much care for his successor, but enough: today is for red and white and waving flags and sing singapore.
