Despite being so overwhelmed by it, I've been so reluctant to post anything on social media regarding MM/PM/Mr Lee's passing the past week.

I find it a tragedy that it takes his passing to open our eyes to the beauty and greatness he's brought to our beloved country.

Could it be that I refuse to jump on bandwagons? I'm not sure.
But I can't seem to draft a post that can speak the multitude of emotions I'm feeling


I've been crying on a daily basis, just soaking in the genuine emotions of the people of Singapore. How florists are giving flowers out for free, refusing any remuneration from moved passerbys, how the entire state is in unity (not just your 9/8 kinda contrived harmony), how my whole family of 5 actually sat down in the living room watching the TV (first time this happened in more than 1 decade).

All these sights really bring tears to my face (even as I'm typing this)
and I'm not sure how words and a black and white photo can deliver and express my feelings..


I'm so glad that the country is united. That it took the inevitable death of our founder for us to work hand in hand, moving towards a better nation. This, better than war- its repercussions are a lot less severe. It was a glorious sight.


Wish I could meet you and give you a big big hug.

Preamble   This is IFoA's 3rd (arguably 2nd) attempt at online papers for CP1,  2. Specifying the Problem The first stage of the actuarial control cycle is to identify and analyse the risks of the various stakeholders in detail, and to set out clearly the problem from the point of view of each stakeholder IFOA wants to have a fair exam, where everyone who is deserving of a pass passed Students want to pass, especially me, and will study hard to try to score well for the paper.

Chmel and Friends - Sharon

母亲的爱，像一座高山， 蕴藏着深深的情感关怀， 就像春天里盛开的花朵， 从天地之间绽放而来。 女儿勇敢地闯荡世界， 激情像燃烧的火焰一样， 不愿受束缚，自由自在， 在风中自由地飞翔。 我们的道路不一样， 她在人生的舞台上奋斗， 母亲心里忧虑满满， 但却爱她永远不变。 当阴云遮挡视线， 母亲温柔地拍拍我的头， 只希望我能回家， 心情一直挂念。 看着我成长，像花儿开放， 偷偷地流下眼泪， 她的眼中隐藏着秘密， 风雨无法阻挡， 她的爱永远无边。 虽然道路曲折， 但爱会一直陪伴着你， 母亲守候在你身边， 爱你永不停息。

I'm glad you're home

The time was 3:13- it has been 2 hours since we started. She mentioned something about being on the wrong path and how there's a need to u-turn before falling off a cliff. My mind wasn't processing any of that. She bent down and showed me something on her phone: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." My mind wanders off.. Is it really true? What do I have to base on? We've been seeing each other for several months now. One thing I recall is her saying that "You've been deceived". Is that what I needed to hear? It's been a while since I've had thoughts go through my mind.. This medicine I'm taking is numbing my senses and thoughts.. The time now is 7:40. I remember her feeling thirsty and getting a drink. After a while, she told me to speak to Him. I got winded on orange . "Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one" We were created from dust and spirit in...
