What Happened?

Very amazed. Very surprised! I had difficulties logging in to this account due to some technical error with this dying computer. Alright. Finally got in! Wanted to give an update of wat went on over last few days.

Remembering Mr S Rajaratnam
It was a sombre mood on that day when state funeral was held. MM Lee, cried for a second time on National TV when he delivered his speech. I remembered watching him sobbed on tv when Singapore separated with our friendly neighbour. That was more than 40 years ago. Who would be able to see MM in tears again? I was very touched. That showed how close MM and Mr Raja were. They were colleague and also friend for more than 50 years. Seriously, other than your spouses, who would stand by you in time of difficulties?

State funeral was very grand. I believe only Mr Raja's funeral can hold in the Esplanade. Many friends, compatriots, family members, cabinet ministers turned up. Even students were caught on TV. But sad to say, i saw a few of them smiling and giggling on TV. Is that a mark of RESPECT? The man lying in the coffin is Singapore's founding father. I can understand if they are little children. But some were quite old. Again, if you ask them abt their dear, i bet they wont even giggle.

Sad! That shows how bad young Singaporeans were. Anyway, bye bye Mr Raja and may you rest in peace!

Long Lost Friend
Was on my home last friday when i heard a familiar voice on Radio. Yep, it was my friend. I got a shocked when she returned to her radio career. I have lost touch with her since i left SR four years ago for my studies. I dun even have her contact number. So, decided to msg her thru radio station. She called me BACK! wow! I am glad she is doing well. She was surprised to see my msg too. We should meet up some days for dinner and have a good chat.

Pre-Bday Celebration
Had a simple celebration with jun on sat despite her having a little headache. I accompanied her to a bingo game held at Downtown East. She was trying her luck to win attractive prizes. In the end, no luck! bleah. Downtown East has undergone many changes. More attractive, more stores, more eateries. The place is still renovating. 10 years ago, the place was such a bore! ha...

Headed to Hongkie Cafe at Taka. The food was ok only. But i like my baked rice. The "wan dan hor fun" which jun ordered wasnt really nice. I missed the one that i had in Hong Kong. I still remembered it was a mainlander who served me tat time. whahah... He spoke cantonese in a very funny way.

The present from jun was fantastic. Actually, i was very touched when i saw the gift. Ken reminded me that she is a very good girl, treat her nicely. Of course i know that. Her support all these while has kept me going. Life is short, finding someone who could understand you so well is not easy. I am glad i met one. (ok, dun puke pple)Thanks dear!
