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!

Hmm..

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-

Father

I am reading the book "Wild at Heart". One of the most striking points that the author made was that of how many, if not almost all, men are most severely wounded by their own father. You would have thought that your dad will be the one who believes in you when everyone else is doubting you. You expect him to do so. Coz when he does, you know that it ain't matter even if the rest are against you. So when it turns out that he is siding with those who doubt you. It hurts the most. It kills off your hope. It strips you off your courage and belief to be a real man. Because the man who is suppose to show you how to be a real man, the one whose approval matters the most.. does not side with you. He loves you.. yes. But a father's role is not simply to love and nurture. He is more than just that. He is your assurance, stronghold, strength. He leads you into adventure, he fights with you side by side, he shows you how to rescue a beauty. When your father of flesh and blood ca...
