firstly, i wanna make a tribute to all mothers of the world.. (was busy yesterday so i couldnt blog :p) yesterday was mother's day, the day when all of us, their children give thanks for them just being there as our mothers.. they have raised us from when we came out of their wombs and nurtured us to who we are today.. they are indeed awesome and we should return them the love they had showered upon us.. but we should not just specially love them on Mother's Day but to love them, cherish them, care for them each and every day.. treat each day as your last day with them.. three cheers for our mothers...

mr wee kim wee, our ex-president left us last friday with a farewell that was both solemn and affectionate, the 'People's President'.. he was remembered as a former journalist, diplomat and president but he too, played the role of: friend, counsellor, father, grandfather.. to his granddaughter, Lim Hui Min, he was simply a dear gong-gong who loved animals, chocolate, ice cream, hazelnut coffee and most of all, his mwife of 69 years, Sok Hiong.. many members of the audience both at Mandai and the giant television screens telecasted around the country, quietly dabbed away tears, including MM Lee Kuan Yew..

" At about 6.14pm, the nation observed a moment of silence. Then, the bugle called and the Last Post's haunting notes sounded.

Mrs Wee, 88, frail but composed, said her final goodbye. Supported by aides and eldest son Bill, she struggled to her feet. Slowly, she reached out one unsteady hand and placed a single red rose on the coffin.

He might have once been a president, a diplomat, a journalist. But to her, he was simply Wee Kim Wee, her husband, father of her children, love of her life... "

the nation mourns for him..

tomorrow's miss seah's birthday.. :p
