People usually gather their family and friends to celebrate the Singapore’s birthday. I think that they will be dressed in red or white and be so enthusiastic to celebrate it. Some of them will be heading to the marina bay or the Padang depending on the government choice, or they would be staying at home watching the national day celebration, eating their dinner or just some junk food.
