i figured, delving into my own set of personal problems is a huge waste of my very precious time. i think i should put it all behind me and focus on the more important things in life. like my education, my friends and just doing well in all aspects in my life.

things between mum and i can go to hell for all i care. as you can see, i've got more important things to worry and think about. so give me some space to breathe mum, i'm close to hyperventilating my ass off. and i'm doing the best i can so dont push it.

WEST SIDE STORY's finally come to singapore! wooohoooooo! and i'm not gonna miss it for the world. i remember watching those little obsolete tapes as a child dancing about in the living room of taman siglap. enchantingly captivating :) checked my calendar and well, i've got my english prelim orals in april, hopefully we get ticks before that. awhhh, i cant bloody wait.

and omg, until the day MrRajaratnam died, i never knew that he wrote the Singapore Pledge.

i never knew he was singapore's first foreign minister and the architect of Singapore's foreign policy.

i knew he was a key member of the PAP's Old Guard but i never quite knew the pivotal role he played in shaping Singapore's early history.

never knew he was a great proponent of multiracialism or that he was the 'ideas man' in a core group of four Singapore leaders that included LeeKuanYew, TohChinChye and GohKengSwee.

and recently, i found out that when singapore descended into chaos with the racial riots, it was him who gave LeeKuanYew the 'heart to go on fighting'.

i will admit that i learnt the majority of these facts watching a one-hour tribute to the man that was broadcast on television at 10, just a few hours after he died :'(

and the worst thing is, i didnt even really mean to watch the programme, i watched it while waiting for the next episode of the admittedly mindless television hit series, America's Top Model to come on.

that proves how little i know about one of our four fathers.
but then again its a wonder how significant he is to our history yet never really mentioned in our history books as much as LeeKuanYew was.

but who am i to blame..

so, SHAME ON ME.

urgh, today just aint my day. i'll blog with a smile another day.

promise.

Rest In Peace

You are greatly loved :)
