The 6 Hours Wait

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.

Our Tribute to Lee Kuan Yew

It's been two days since the passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, and with the overwhelming display of his life documentary all over the television, social media and that of newspaper, it's hard not to notice the things that he have done for the nation building of our country, Singapore. 

After the announcement of the visiting time for people who would like to pay their tribute to the late Lee Kuan Yew was out, people from all walks of life started coming together as one. News erupted of the huge number of people queuing under the hot scorching sun for up to an average of 8 hours to pay their tribute to Mr Lee.

The Heartbreaking scene when the late Mr Lee was moved from the Istana to the Parliament House

Singaporeans braving the heat and long queues to pay their respect

We can't deny the fact that Singaporeans really respect the things Mr Lee has done for us, with the queues soon stretch from the Parliament House all the way across Raffles Place, Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and towards Fort Canning Hill.

50年前李光耀先生团结了新加坡, 50年候新加坡因为他而团结了。It's really heart warming to know that Mr Lee united Singapore 50 years ago, and now 50 years later we Singaporeans unite together as one because of Him.

Went over to SengKang Community Centre to write down our tribute to the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew. The atmosphere there was filled with nothing but sadness. Something the nation haven't felt in a long long time.

The Passing of Singapore Founding Father - Lee Kuan Yew

Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore's very own founding father has passed away peacefully on 23rd March 2015 at the Singapore General Hospital. Suddenly, everyone seems so down after hearing of his passing, afterall we can't deny the fact that he delicate his whole life to transform Singapore from a fishing village to where it is today, a first world country admired by many across the world. 

I believe we will never forget him and we shall forever be grateful. 做人要饮水思源. When one drinks water, one must not forget where it comes from.

The particular scene where he planted his last kiss to his late wife has etched deeply in my heart. Don't you think it's always bitter sweet watching videos showing the stories of the couple.
