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.

Our 2D1N Trip to Melaka - Day 2

Time always passes by so fast whenever we are here at Melaka, how I wish we can spend more time here, perhaps 3D2N rather than just 2D1N. Hmm.. nevermind, there will always be another time and I believe soon it will be that we visit Melaka again lalala. 

Today's breakfast at Hatten Hotel seems to be below standard as compared to the previous times we had the breakfast over here. Such a huge disappointment to be exact. Know dear like to go swimming so we head over to the pool again for a swim before checking out.

Went over to McDonald to have our lunch today; yummy yummy spicy chicken over here at Malaysia. After which we went to the Arcade to play some old school Daytona racing games, sniper shooting and basketball throwing. Lalala so yi kai today. 

Relax over at Caffè bene cafe just right beside Hatten Hotel before our coach bus arrives. Yummy Yummy single Coffee Bingsu that is filled with the delicious coffee gelato ice cream, coco crunch & nuts at the top, red beans in the middle and shaven ice at the bottom of it. The Choco Devil Brownie is so tasty too which I find it weird that it is not on the menu.

Post Birthday Celebration

It's a stay home Saturday for us today, as we only left the house to collect dear de medical report from Boon Keng and have our Mac breakfast there before heading back home. Stayed home to touch up on the rest of my group assignment that have been giving me quite a headache due to the uncooperative group member who just wouldn't upload her work till the very last minute. 

I didn't know I was in for a surprise tonight for my birthday as the plan that I knew of was that we are meeting up with dear's friends like Val, Elaine, Jess etc at the Ice Edge Cafe for some ice cream. Initially wanted to leave home to go Serangoon NEX mall for our dinner first and walk walk abit but then Tessa so poor thing alone at home after my brother bring Yoda out to god knows where so we ended up staying put at home to accompany Tessa.

I was so so so hungry by the time it was around 9.30pm as we set off to the Ice Edge Cafe. Got a shock when I saw Yong Ming appearing out of nowhere but then I didn't really suspect anything since dear already shown me the LINE message of her and Val on the meet up tonight. Was surprise when I saw the whole gang entering into the Ice Edge Cafe with a cake and a very scary numerical 3 0 candle on the cake itself. I didn't expect them of all people since we hardly meet up these days. Was really happy to receive this surprise, though I am really really hungry by the time they pop in past 10pm. I was so embarrassed when they started singing the birthday song and shouted out my age. 

Never expect dear will liaise with my friends to give me this little surprise at all. Lalala so Yi Kai tonight to receive this surprise, a cake and a card with all their wishes to me ^_^

Really blessed to have all these friends and my girlfriend by my side all these while. Really glad that majority of them put in their efforts to meet up for my sake although we are still missing one more friend (Low Wei) whom I think have forgotten about us. Thereafter we head over to Frenzie Bar at the @Punggol for some drinks before heading back home. A wonderful night for me ^_^

The Day After.

Today is a special day too. You know why? Because it's one day after my birthday hehe. I dislike Friday alot ever since my class is fixed on every Friday since the beginning of the year. Dear having training tonight too so we are unable to meet up with each other till later at night. 

Took bus to Plaza Singapura after my work to see if there are anything for me to chew on before class starts but nothing seems to tempt me at all. Hehe until I saw the cheap cheap Star Wars Lego minifigures that I been looking for, which is the C3PO and Admiral Ackbar lalala. Really scared that dear will scold me for buying LEGO toys again but today is one day after my birthday so dear cannot scold me de :p

Gosh I am so tired that I kept on dozing off in class tonight. Lalala dear finally meet up with me at Wilkie Edge as we head over to Swee Choon for our late night dim sum for dinner. Yummy Yummy good food and getting to walk with dear down Little India and seeing how she always run to chase after the bus never fails to make me smile every single time. Lalala ^_^
