Ah Gong and me

First of all.. salute, respect, hats off to rimbun who queued all the way to pay his last respect to LKY.

Such determination that comes from their heart kinda restore a bit of my faith in mankind.

I worked for a govt agency 8 yrs ago. I was in division that basically serves as secretary to the CEO.
So we will be in all of his meetings, taking notes, prepare his presentation slides,  etc etc.

I was kinda taken aback when I was first asked to take notes in meeting for the CEO.
I felt like secretarial job is best suited for ladies. I didn't object openly but it showed.

So my boss (bos ayam for those who knows the story) decided to hv a word with me.

She told me how LKY first started as Secretary for his political party. How he also took notes and how he learned so much during his time as secretary.
I never imagined that the guy was ever a secretary to anyone.
But it changed my mindset ever since.

Now I look up to those personal secretaries.
They got astonishing level of attentiveness,  composure,  observation, and MEMORY (yes! You got to learn how to memorise a person's face and name quickly so you know who say what when you take notes. No wonder LKY has such great memory).

It takes a serious study to judge him as a PM or politician. And there will always be secrets not known to us.
But on a personal level,  that man is undoubtedly one helluva giant, not the one to play play with.

Oh I love his younger day speech style. Got swag la! That bruce lee kinda aura!

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
