White

It was quite an upsetting week to go, with the sudden news of our founding father passed on. I admit that I never know how great he was or what it really happened to make what Singapore it is now. Even during the National Day, I did not even fully understand the joy of celebrating this meaningful day. 

But sadly, it was only after he passed on, and all the television has been playing his documentary, that was when I fully understand what had happened more than 50 years back and what he had exactly done to make what it is now. It was really a lesson and knowledge gain, unfortunately, in such a way. I couldn't help but to tears when I watched the documentary. He is really a great man. 

I am never a person who will queue hours for something, but he makes me feel that queuing for hours seems worthwhile. Comparing to what he had done for us to have such a good environment to live in, I believe queuing for merely few hours to pay respects to him is really nothing, nothing compared to all those. Tomorrow is Sunday, national mourning day. It's gonna be a day where thousands will be wiping their tears and bid goodbye to him. I really can't imagine how upsetting the situation will be. 

After the tiring day in the morning, managed to go home and have a good nap before meeting C for dinner. It was really nice to receive the lozenges, especially after I asked for sweet cause my throat was feeling really uncomfortable. What funniest was when he kept his promises and sang in the  public. But no doubt that he really sings pretty nice, kind of impressed now though.
