I really enjoyed the break and time spent with my little ariel.
On 23 March at 3.18pm, my nation was saddened by the passing of Singapore's founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.
I started to look around at the clean and green, and effective systems we had and realized how much we had to thank this visionary man for. How we have taken for granted all that this nation provided and harbored discontentment.
This week was a good week for me to ponder on my own life too. Back in 2011, i had some thoughts on contributing and volunteering to serve the community, and this thought reignited with the passing of Mr Lee. I will wait on the Lord regarding this and have Him direct my paths.
A little recap on how i spent my 1 week.
On Monday, I spent $8.40 on a groupon voucher at brought ariel to Happy Willows (unlimited play) at OneKM. It was newly opened, and the best thing is, she had the whole place to herself for up to 2 hours before some other kids came!
On Tuesday, we visited the National Museum hoping to catch the exhibition on Mr Lee Kuan Yew but alas, it was not ready yet. We stumbled upon a play area in the museum and were delighted to find some kampong house kind of layout. It was laden with many cooking toys and ariel once again, was the only child there enjoying stir-frying and braising food in claypot. Hahaha...
Wednesday and Friday were spent accompanying her to playgroup and i had some time to catch up on readings, so many articles on Mr LKY to pore over.
Thursday was memorable because we paid our last respects to Mr Lee lying in state. We joined the priority queue which took us about 1.5 hours to enter the parliament house. It was sombre and sorrowful passing the casket that held his body.
Heavy emotions this week. Nevertheless, we must keep our spirits up and ensure the legacy he left carries on. May God bless Singapore.
