Today will be the funeral of Mr lee kuan yew..and somehow singapore will be witnessing this historical moment.. this will be the last time that I will be posting about Mr Lee..he will always live in every singaporeans heart and he will definitely be remembered by us for decades or even centuries.

I will never forget some of this phases that Mr Lee kuan yew said during some of the speech that he gave on the national TV..He said

"This is my COUNTRY, This is my LIFE, This is my PEOPLE,u will trample over us,over our dead bodies"

Dear sir, 

I'm from the 90's and i still have the memory of you stood in front of the national tv and gave a national day rally speech, I didn't knew you fought so hard for us until i watched your documentaries..and i just want to say Thank you for what u have done for us.. So much so that I couldn't stop thanking you.. You have shed tears for us 50 years back and 50 years later we Singaporeans shed tears for you, i'm amazed that not only we Singaporean saluted you for what u have done for us, even all other diplomats around the world saluted you or even came over to say their bid farewell to you.. Your hard work have paid off and today we are a successful Singapore a first world country and a safe city to live in..thank you sir..without you we won't even have all this and even a landmark on the map.. I know u love your people and I am proud to be a Singaporean..you had really fought hard for us and even sacrificed your entire life for us sir,its time for u to rest and let us take over the job,i can't promise u that I will do a good job by protecting this country of yours but I can promise u that I will put in my 100% into defending our country and make it free from terrorism,you have my words sir. 

*salute*

Rest in peace Mr Lee..our founding father.

your singaporean daughter

SP01/15 & next phase of life

Well i have officially passed out of my training school and i'm finally out of a recruit life, I really enjoyed my 8 weeks of training with my batch mates, it's not a easy 8 weeks though. I have to learn a lot of new things which i have never seen or touch before and most of all i must learn to follow the standard of the command school.. My first few weeks was hell for me, i don't know what they actually what us to be, following the rules, must be neatly dress up and some other stuffs.. well i will never forget the first day how my class reacted..the whole conference room was in a total silence haha..after we all known each other we became really noisy. at the start i thought 8 weeks seem to be a super long period for me but now in the blink of an eye my 8 weeks courses have ended, I'm thankful to meet such a wonderful bunch of people, we all came from a different background and today i'm happy that we manage to pass out as a batch..no one fail or being OOC during the whole training period. I will never forget SP 01/15 because we are a batch that been through so much..i mean what happened in training school just leave it in training school,don't ever bring it out of the school..because to me the world out there is going to be even more hushed than training school.

after posting out i will be starting my new phase of life,as one of my friend mentioned today "our learning doesn't end here" as i truly agreed with what he say, i have a lot more to learn from the new work place and i will try my best to learn as much as i can, it's not going to be easy as everything will be so new for me..and who say life is going to be easy, it will never be easy at the start but trust me bitter days don't last forever eventually one day you will taste the sweet part of your life.

Dear SP 01/15,
Even though we are the special batch that don't have a proper graduation ceremony due to the mourning period but still we passed out as a batch,no one was lift behide or quit halfway through.
Thank you SP 01/15 for everything, I'm delighted to meet everyone of you and i can say we are all faithed to be SP 01/15 , all the best in your career and if possible let's all meet up on every 26 jan..

tribute for mr lee kuan yew

went to pay my last respect to Mr lee kuan yew

On 23rd of march 2015,a day that we as a Singaporean will never forget..woke up and heard the broken news of  the passing of our forefather Mr lee kuan yew..the nation mourn the lost of a remarkable brave leader,he is really a respectable man i can say,a man that contributed his entire life to the nation,a man that separated us from malaysia and made our nation from a third world country into the first world country. Mr lee hard work paid off, he have sacrificed his entire life and what he got in return was a successful singapore,a first world country..a beautiful garden city. I'm a 90's baby and i'm truly touch and thankful of what this remarkable brave leader had done..I don't give a damn on what others think about him because to me he is truly a legacy of singapore..

"Dear sir;

Be sure that you'll be remembered by us for decades or even centuries..your name will live with us forever, We thank you for giving us such a beautiful city that i am proud to call it my home and when ever i went oversea i am proud to tell people that i'm from singapore. your hard work paid off sir, May your soul rest in peace sir

Your singaporean daughter.

Getaway trip with baby!

hey guys, i am sorry for being away for so long..well i guess right now no one believe that this is still being update after soon long..today i just want to blog about my Short getaway with my boyfriend!

Last Thursday was Our vacation day! we had planned this day ever since september..haha!i was so excited the night before that i only slept for 3 hours.. but still i am able to wake up for the trip!
met up with my boyfriend at his place before the trip. well it's only a short getaway to johor but still we are really excited haha! Had coffeebean breakfast when we reached johor! coincidentally it was raining heavily and i love seating beside the window and drinking a cup of hot coffee..hehe and most of all having breakfast with the man i love.

Bought myself my favorite books, fifty shades of grey trilogy! i've read finished the first book and the author made me hunger for the second book and so i decided to get the second and the third book. well some of you mind be thinking why didn't i get the trilogy from the start? Because i was thinking if the book wasn't nice i wont bother to read the second and third book..but in the end i went to get the second and third books during my holiday trip!

After breakfast,we decided to start shopping for awhile before heading to the hotel for check in.
We took cab to the hotel,it's not far from the checkpoint though..and our hotel it's 5mins walk away from KSL mall! the hotel called GRAND PARAGON HOTEL..the hotel is rated 5 stars and i was amazed at how the reception guy did my check in, he checked me into a deluxe room instead of a standard room that i previously booked online and he still charged me at standard room rates! how cool can this get! we went up to our room which was located at 21 floors! after putting our stuffs into the room,

we went out for lunch at this bak gut teh shop!They really have good bah gut teh and brasied pork knuckles..i love their soup and braised pork knuckles gravy..i ate two bowls of rice and after lunch we went to holiday plaza and KSL mall for shopping, few hours before dinner time we went back to the hotel to take a rest before heading out to get some dinner.

We took cab to city square mall and walked to this back alley that all the local hawkers sell all the great local foods..so we bought oyster omelette,BBQ stingray,LALA,fried kway tiao,BBQ sotongs and clams for dinner, i know it seem a lot for two people but who cares, we have been craving for this for ages! we bought some liquors back to drink too! i can't believe all this stuffs only cost below 80SGD.. and we have a fun time eating every single local foods!

The next day we woke up in the morning after we washed up,we went down to the cafe for breakfast and guess what..i was amazed that they have good breakfast too! i love their variety of foods,my boyfriend and i enjoyed having breakfast together! :) i know he love the breakfast!

after breakfast we went up to the room and start packing up and after checked out we went off to KSL mall for movie..i finally get a chance to watch hunger games,the mockingjay.. after the movie end we went for more shopping and dinner before heading back to singapore.

i was so upset that the holiday ended but still i totally enjoyed my short holiday with my boyfriend and till today i am still in a holiday mood :(

During the entire trip,my boyfriend really shocked me with his action,he is really sweet,he volunteer to carry all my shopping bag and still held my hand and kept me safely by his side!damn,how sweet can he be, i felt that he have half of "christian grey"(fifty shades of grey) existed in him of cos i am not talking about the wealth but christian's playfulness and the bossy side, i saw all this in my boyfriend! oh shit,hopefully i won't be like Anastasia.. :P
i think i am getting too into the book already! addicted! omg! just want to thank him for his sweetness and brought me safely back to singapore! :D

thats all! 

goodnight people!i will be back to update really soon!
