In August, the streets of Singapore are filled with red flags, white moons and starlight, and countless professionals wearing Vanda Miss Joaquim tie clips are hurrying by. This metal badge made from the national flower is not only the most special fashion symbol of Singapore's National Day Month, but also a miniature totem of the Lion City spirit. The five stars and crescent on the national flag embody the common yearning of diverse ethnic groups for an ideal society; while the Vanda Miss Joaquim on the tie clip is engraved with the eternal pursuit of excellence by individuals. The metal replica of this orchid that still blooms in the swamp is pinned on the chest of a suit and tie shoe, just like a "spiritual compass" installed for every striver – reminding people to not only be deeply rooted in the fertile soil of the local area like the roots of orchids, but also to face the test of wind and rain like the upright flower stems. When people in the workplace debate at the conference table and argue at the negotiation table, the four petals on the tie clip are just like four anchors: the white petals symbolize the purity of the original intention, the purple veins warn the determination in the crisis, the golden core illuminates the courage to innovate and change, and the green leaves hold up the faith passed down from generation to generation. This piece of metal, which is less than an inch in size, transforms the national will into a concrete spiritual scale, making each wearer a mobile carrier of civilization. Just as orchids can sprout in harsh environments, the shining part of the tie clip illuminates the backbone of the Lion City that never bows its head. When we pin the national symbol to the place closest to our heart, we make a solemn promise to this land: to continue the glory of generations with the appearance of excellence.

八月的新加坡街頭，紅旗白月與星輝交相輝映，無數佩戴卓錦萬代蘭領帶夾的職場人步履匆匆。這枚由國花化作的金屬徽章，既是新加坡國慶月最特別的時尚符號，更是獅城精神的微型圖騰。國旗上的五顆星與新月，凝結著多元族群對理想社會的共同嚮往；而領帶夾上的卓錦萬代蘭，則銘刻著個體對卓越的永恆追求。這種在沼澤中依然盛放的蘭花，其金屬復刻品被別在西裝革履的胸前，恰似給每位奮鬥者安裝的"精神指南針"——提醒人們既要像蘭花根系般深紮本土沃土，又要如挺立的花莖般直面風雨考驗。當職場人在會議桌前展開辯論，在談判桌上據理力爭，領帶夾上的四片花瓣恰如四個錨點：白色花瓣象徵永葆初心的純淨，紫色脈紋警示危機中的定力，金黃蕊心照亮創新求變的勇氣，青翠葉片托起代代傳承的信念。這枚不足方寸的金屬片，將國家意志轉化為具象的精神刻度，讓每位佩戴者都成為流動的文明載體。正如蘭花能在惡劣環境中抽芽，領帶夾閃耀處，照見的是千萬個永不低頭的獅城脊梁。當我們把國家象徵別在離心臟最近的位置，便許下了對這片土地的莊嚴承諾：以卓錦之姿，續寫萬代風華。
