It was later sung by Project SuperStar finalist, Kelly Poon before being commissioned as an official National Day Parade theme in 2007.
Music Video
Description
Like every NDP music video, the music video is usually sponsored by a Singapore established company. For this short film, DBS Bank was the official sponsor.
Synopsis
As with My Island Home, the video opens with a time lapse of a sunrise over Lower Peirce Reservoir. The scene instantly shifts to two senior citizens having morning breakfast along a five foot way. The film then cuts back to the sunrise before showing a delivery man throwing a copy of The Straits Times, at the singer's doorstep as she sips a cup of coffee calmly.
This is later continued as Chan sings the first verse of the song. She is seen clad in a red dress sitting at the yellow zone of The Float at Marina Bay sitting gallery. A pastiche of international landmarks follows as Chan drives in a red Mini Hatch. Similarly to the MTV of My Island Home, scenes of daily life Singapore plays. Breaking the third wall, Chan is seen participating in these daily life activities at the same time.
As the video comes to an end, Kit is seen standing up from her seat to perform the finale of the short film. The MTV then closes with a time lapse of a sunset on the city.
