Hi im hear to explain my recent disappearance over here.
My laptop died on me.
For real this time.
So with the unfortunate dismise of my lappy, blogging was close to impossible because I changed my phone as well.
Iphone 5 to be exact.
Hahahah ikr, it's finally happening.
Took me a few days to grapple with how this whole Apple thingy works and man was I frustrated with the technicality involved.
Anyway okay tech issues aside, there has been a national event going on the past couple of days which kept us all pretty occupied.
The passing of Mr Lee Kuan Yew was a saddening reality that dawned upon Singapore on 23rd March 2015.
When I read the news off my phone early in the morning, grief overcame me but it left soon after as I believe it is what he wanted. Mr Lee was heartbroken when his wife passed away and their love was to the point where he desired to go where she went. Every day, before he takes his meal, he places her photograph beside him on the dining table. And then he eats.
When his wife was leaving, he said her last wish was for their ashes to be placed together, not side by side, no, but together in the same urn.
They say love isn't about two halves coming together to become one but is about two wholes coming together and forming one.
Till death do us apart, they said.
But sometimes love transcends even death itself and lives on.
It's beautiful isn't it.
The other day I went to the esplanade to watch Justin and his friends perform at Ooom- a tribute to the late Mr Lee.
One particular Singaporean who dedicated a song for our first PM said,
"Mr Lee's life was a love story. It was a love story between him and his wife. A love story between him and his family. A love story between him and his country."
