Havent been blogging much lately, its because i dont use computer much ok!
But still, im updating, so that people like zhen can know whats up with my life!

Hmm, nothing much.
Although school has started for 5 weeks, i still dont feel that im an undergrad!
Maybe its because i only go school 4 days a week, and for the first 3 weeks i went school only 3 times a week.
Each lesson is 3 hours. So on monday i'm in school from 8.30 to 3, tues and wed 3.30pm - 6.30pm. thursday depends.
And for tuesday and wednesday afternoon, i get to sleep till 1.30pm!
Like so late for a school day, that it doesnt seems like a school day!

I cant remember much about what i did for the past few days/weeks.
I went changi airport to shop, and ikea to eat with whole big family.
I went the cathay with Fish 2 saturdays back, and we finally managed to eat sushi. We even had ben and jerry for dessert! enjoy life~

erm, i cant remember much.

Anyway, its the haze season AGAIN. years after years, indonesia keeps burning and burning.
Newspaper said during 2006 Oct, the PSI went up to 128, which was unhealthy! But how come i got no memory of it arh! Plus its our O Level year.
The memory i remember of haze, is when we're pri 2/3. 1998/1999. That year haze was really very very bad, and i remember i keep looking at the TV, hoping that it will increase and we dont need to attend school! haha! But actually that year, i dont remember it being hazy. Maybe im still young and short, and cant see much. But that image and memory in my mind is very clear.

i think thats it. Will update again soon! :)

is it still there? or its gone forever?

Didnt use much lappy for the past week, thus no new entry!
So here it is.

The major thing that's on my mind, will be the passing of Mrs Lee Kuan Yew.
On saturday Oct 2 during family dinner, edbert came and dropped all of us this bomb.
I didnt expect it at all!
i know she's bedridden for 2 years, but her leaving is a surprise!
Many people confused bedridden with coma. Its totally different!
anyway, i was shocked, and went to cna with my phone, and saw the news.
instantly, i felt so sad for our MM Lee.

Sometimes on the Sunday Times, i do read articles that their daughter writes, and sometimes it talks about their family.
I read about how MM Lee have been reading her favourite poems for her for the past 2 years, telling her how his day went, the news and such.
Once, he knocked his forehead against the music stand that was used to hold the book, because he was too tired and fell asleep.
Their love was so simple, and its really love..
It was so hard for him, that he learnt to meditate to have a peace of mind to be able to sleep.
And after the passing of Mrs Lee, the newspaper for the next few days was about how she helped mould Singapore to the way it is, behind the successful man.
She's sooo intelligent, won the scholarship award, did so well in the exams.
She's really compataible to MM Lee.
She's a lawyer who had a successful career and the breadwinner while MM Lee was fighting for Singapore,
She's a mum who took great care of her 3 kids, never spoiling them with expensive presents,
and a loving wife who walked 2 steps behind her husband, always there for him.

She's really incredible.

I went to pay my respect at the Istana on Tuesday with Whitney, and it was really very very sad.
The scene of the 2 sons, and mr lee hsien loong wife, how they were wearing black and white t-shirts just like how a normal chinese family would, its really heart-wrenching.

And on wednesday, they delivered their eulogy, and it was really sad.
Everyone in the family put 1 pink carnation on her coffin, while MM Lee gave a red rose.
He also kissed her, by putting his hand to his mouth, and to her forehead. Twice.
They were soulmates for 63 years.
Imagine losing someone you spent your life for 63years with.

I know death is part of life. But its really so hard to depart with someone you had so much memories with.


And just this week, there's this article about an old man who went missing at Sentosa. He had depression after his wife passed away in January. And a few days later, his body was found floating.

Maybe, thats what forever meant. They really loved each other till eternity.

and all this, reminds me of our own story..
