First of all, happy birthday SG!
Kick start the day with a morning jog and i was pleasantly surprised to see that there was quite a number of people exercising and most were the elderly :oo I greatly respect them for bothering to stay healthy and fit even in their senior years wooo.
Just finished watching PM LHL's speech about his father, SG and Singaporeans. Indeed, SG has came a long way, as they typically say, from the kampong to the prosperous city it is now. As much as i have a lot to complain about SG on a daily basis, recently i began to be more appreciative of what SG has offered its citizens: a relatively clean and safe country, prosperous and increasingly well-known globally (thats why I'm able to go for BB concert ♡), a quite religiously and racially harmonious society and fair education and employment opportunities (I believe so??). Sometimes I'm very glad to be born in SG 'cause of all this.
I'm pretty sad that Mr LKY is unable to witness the 50th year of SG that he so carefully and painstakingly built up. I don't know how his policies might have caused some of the seniors to suffer but from what I'm seeing (from a humble perspective of mine), I really think that he really had worked hard for SG.
Still remembered the time I went to queue the entire night and going nearly a day without sleep to pay respects to him. (Wanted to blog about it that time but never got to it LOL) Seeing most Singaporeans being caring towards one another and persevering to pay respects to Mr LKY was really heartwarming. Also, those who braved the rain to see his last journey were really admirable. Anyways, when I finally got in to see him, I felt a surge of sadness for that few seconds as I bowed down. Really regret not bowing longer 'cause I really obediently followed their instructions lol...
Sigh, if only he could get to witness the 50th year :( This year's NDP is gonna be really epic. Sian and I have to spend today doing pw -_- ahhhh okok I've spent enough time resting, need to go study liao. Byeee.
