It’s going to be Singapore’s 39th birthday, not to be outdone by other polytechnics, Singapore Polytechnic (bearing the country’s name) decides to organize a competition related to National Day. While it isn’t exactly the most brilliant idea to have such a competition, it’s good try for Singapore Polytechnic.

I received this is my school email.

Dear CLS Students,

To celebrate the coming National Day, a cartoon-drawing competition is organised by the SP National Education Committee targeting at all full-time students and staff.

NATIONAL DAY 2004
CARTOON-DRAWING COMPETITION

Capture the comical aspects of life in Singapore through a heart-warming cartoon or comic strip.

We are giving away attractive CASH prizes!

1st Prize - $350

I thought of participating too, I am serious you know, I drew a comic with Microsoft Paint (you know the lousy program that supports no anti-alias..) and I believe it’s vying for the top position. But in order to give my schoolmates a chance, I decided to act noble and not submit my work.

Click on ‘more’ to view the cartoon that I have drawn.

I call this ‘Boy holding a Singapore flag with much joy and pride’. I am sure it is easy to guess the title since I am such a good artist.
