It was indeed a very dark and gloomy week for Singapore since the passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew. Everywhere you go, you'll notice that the notices on all MRT stations and majority of the companies will flash pictures of the passing of our founding father.
Luckily my new work place grants us time off to pay our respect to the late Lee Kuan Yew as I went to meet up with the girlfriend to get our dinner and 2 white roses from the florist shop at Raffles Place MRT before heading over to Cityhall to join in the queue. Although the weather is pretty hot as we there queuing from 6pm onwards but we know it's gonna be worth the wait. It took us about 6 hours to reach the Parliament House from the Padang field and although we're so tired but when we got there, our mood starts to sets in...
Queuing up to pay our respect & gratitude to the man who helped
built a Nation. It is also at times like this that we see how united our
fellow Singaporeans and people who know gratitude & respect can be.
The hours we spent standing and the distance we took are nothing
compared to the things he did to transform Singapore from a third world
country to a 1st class country.
