My Thoughts

I enjoy solitude but I do not really enjoy outdoor solitary activities. However, I guess I have to learn to enjoy them, given the fact that there are so many XXX tracking my every movement, et cetera. (They have even gone to the extent of trying to involve my family!) They are really getting on my nerves and seriously speaking, I feel harassed! But it seems that harassment is not considered an offence in Singapore.:( Even if it is an offence and I can therefore lodge a police report, but I do not even trust the police. However, that is beside the point.

I saw a vision of the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew looking down and smiling when the state funeral procession was taking place.

If you want to be popular, you will misgovern.

So true...

To our dearest Papa Lee

We are eternally grateful to you and for you.
You will always be loved, cherished and fondly remembered.
Our assurance to you: we will continue to stand together as one united people, regardless of race, language or religion....
We believe that you are in a better place now.

Undeniably a proud post-independent Singaporean,
XXXX

"The health of men often deteriorates after they lose their wives. The security officers and I watched Papa getting more frail every day. His facial features were grim, perhaps to mask his sadness and grief. I took one day at a time and persuaded him not to undertake any arduous trips to America or Europe. China and Japan were near enough and manageable. I was pleased to get him out of the house.

By July this year, Papa’s health had stabilised and even begun to improve gradually. I reminded myself of the analogy I used for him – titanium. Titanium is light but strong. It can bend a little, but it will not snap unless it is under overwhelming force.

Physically, we all eventually succumb. Papa is also mortal. But he is psychologically stronger than most people. Life has to carry on, and he will keep going so long as he can contribute to Singapore.

As I was halfway through writing this article, I went out of my room for a drink of water and saw a note from Papa addressed to all three of his children. It read:

“For reasons of sentiment, I would like part of my ashes to be mixed up with Mama’s, and both her ashes and mine put side by side in the columbarium. We were joined in life and I would like our ashes to be joined after this life.”

An inspiring and moving testimony of not only a great leader but also a great husband...

Mr Lee Kuan Yew

I may not be a PAP supporter and I may not agree with some of the policies that the former PM, Mr Lee Kuan Yew implemented (and some of the things he purportedly did) during the time when he was the PM. Nonetheless, he is someone whom I have respect for, mainly because Singapore would not be what it is today without him. And so it will be sad news if he passes on...

I met a dirty old man just now but yet I couldn't scold him or stare at him, because I was in the Subordinate Courts and the dirty old man happens to be my client's father! I really can't stand dirty old men!!! They are so disgusting!!! Why are men so 'sick'???!!! And why is it that the older men get, the more 'sick' they become???!!! So offensive!!! 

Dare to Dream

I finally managed to snap a photo of a sick and disgusting man who talked to me in a demeaning manner (as if he was talking to a cheap woman) in the past! Even though I showed my displeasure at his offensive manner then, he continues to deliberately come close and look at me in offensive ways every time I dine there alone. Such a sick man must be put to shame!!! Incidentally, he's just an OLD and UGLY coffee shop assistant, which make his offensive ways seem more offensive!!!

Respect



Respect is not a given; it has to be earned. This should apply to all kinds of relationships, including parent-child relationship, boss-subordinate relationship, etc.

Dare to Dream

I will NEVER want a playboy because I love and respect myself, and I certainly deserve a worthy and faithful man.
