No, you won't find another ang ku kueh or curry puff plushie in the list
In just a little over two weeks, Singapore will be celebrating her 53rd birthday.
And if you're feeling a little salty about not snagging the coveted National Day Parade tickets or perhaps cannot relate to getting in touch with your patriotic side by feasting on local delights (because you've been doing so every day), then why not display your Singapore pride by bagging up some of these locally-inspired lifestyle products!
With the rise of numerous local designers and craftsmen, many common day-to-day items have been reimagined and invented with a Singaporean twist. Lifestyle stores like Megafash and Naiise have also helped bring these artists to prominence. So embrace your patriotic spirit and bring back fond memories of your time in Singapore when you get your hands on some creations that pay homage to our great nation:

6. Mandarin Composition Shirt, $29.90
Home-grown retail brand Temasek Clothings has always tickled our funny bone by injecting local humour and puns in its line of apparel. One of which that made us chuckle is the Mandarin Composition Shirt, featuring a print of the Chinese composition paper format that bears Chinese characters reading: ‘在一个风和日丽的早晨’ which translates to ‘on a breezy, sunny morning’. The shirt is aimed to poke fun at students who struggled with their Mother Tongue and having to resort to using the overused opener for their composition. Instead of chasing hypebeast trends whilst finding clothing with the most minimalistic designs, why not add this to your wardrobe collection this National Day?
