Dedictating his lifetime to Singapore and to us

Hi again readers,

I believe that many of you have heard the sad news. If you have not, I am sorry I have to bring to you this message.

Our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, has passed on as of 23/03/2015, 03:18(Singapore time).

He was known as a charging lion, a father. The Cambridge educated man devoted his whole life to the building of the nation. In his hands, his leadership, we developed from a third-world nation, into a first-world country.

He worked hard, thinking of ways to improve the conditions in Singapore. His perseverance, his determination, his passion, his dedication has brought us to where

"I've spent a whole lifetime building this nation, and as long as I'm in charge, nobody is gonna knock it down."

This  is by far, my favourite quote of Mr Lee. Indeed, he spent his whole life building our country, from being our very 1st Prime Minister, to being a Minister Mentor, the 91-year-old continued serving the nation. He was in charge of Tanjong Pajar GRC for more than a decade.

He started the bilingual education system, which allowed us to be able to fluent in both languages, which in turn, allowed us to be able to carve our career in both ENglish and CHinese countries. Yet, we have people like Amos Yee being ungrateful.

Rip Mr Lee Kuan Yew and may you rest in peace.

Neighbour Rivalry?

Hey guys,

Welcome to another blog post by me. Today's topic is as you can see, is neighbour rivalry. Now this is a story based on a true story.

Scenario
Now we have a housewife. As a housewife, of course she has to do the laundry, right? So when she hangs out the wet clothes to dry, guess what, her hands slipped and she dropped the bamboo pole together with the clothes. Seeing this, she panicked. She went straight out, and bought a box of chocolates. After that, she went down to her neighbour, offered the box of chocolates to them, and apologised, afeter taking back her bamboo pole.

Now, a couple of months later, the wind blew on of the bamboo poles down to the same neighbour''s house, and this time, the housewife got her husband to go down to retreive the bamboo pole because she was busy. The neighbour scolded the husband. Unfairness starts here right?

The husband is good-natured, and doesn't tell the housewife, but she can tell something is wrong.

When a bamboo pole appeared at the drying corner of the neighbour's house a few months later, the neighbour immediately assumed that it belonged to the housewife. They came up and confronted the housewife. After checking, the housewife told the neighbour that the bamboo pole did not belonged to her. And guess what the neighbour said, "After studying the bamboo pole of several possible household, the bamboo pole looked like it is yours."

*Disclaimer: If the situation sounds like what you have done to your neighbour, but you do not know me personally, then I am not talking about you. If you do know me or my relatives, then I don't know, deal with it, and improve your EQ, for goodness sake.*

Okay, guys, so what are your views on this? The neighbour is obviously too much, right? I mean, using basic common sense, why would anyone want to drop the bamboo pole down to you, purposely? And if you read carefully, everytime the bamboo pole dropped down, the family or the housewife would go down personally to take it, not wait for the neighbour to bring it up right? So what does this tell you about the neighbour? Do you readers also see something weird, why does the neighbour need to go from door to door to check whose bamboo pole is it? Why can't they just put it outside their house, or wait for someone to come collect it? They were obviously looking for a fight.

More than 80% of Singaporeans lived in HDB flats, which is actually a lot. Living in a HDB flat has its perks, like kids being more sociable, aunties are able to gossip with friends, and the family is able to join tours to neighbouring countries together. But what if one has neighbours who are unreasonable?

This would result in unhappiness in the neighbourhood. As neighbours, should we not be looking out for one another? Why make life difficult for each other? This I do not understand.

Well, just a little food for thought, if you have any stories of neighbours being either horrid or really nice to you, let me know in the comments section down below.
