Sunday is drawing to an end and here comes the most dreadful day of the week - Monday *boo*. Not that I don't thank God for every day but like most working adults, I am a sufferer of the Mondy Blue syndrome and to think of it..most of my clothes that I wear on Monday are blue as well.

As I thought about the week that is about to pass. The most talked about topic for the week have been - "The late Mdm Kwa Geok Choo" also known as "Mrs Lee Kuan Yew". Everyday, as I flipped through the papers from Monday-Thursday, there are at least 4-5 pages focusing on her. The love between herself and MM Lee, the love for her children and how supportive she was as a wife to MM Lee. She really is the 进得了厨房，出得了厅堂 kind of women. Seriously, in these days, how many women can actually be like her? As i read all the eulogies, some thoughts stuck me:

1) Approximately 2 years back, I was having a conversation with this guy friend of mine and I asked him "David, for a guy like you, so eligible, what kind of girl do you want as your wife?" The reply he gave me was this "As a man, I have to work hard outside to bring the bread home to support the family. The last thing I want this a wife that is over reliant on me and also I want someone who can cook. You know how it feels that everytime if you have to work late and get home being so tired and yet still have to think of what to eat and not have a satisfying meal?" I guess from his reply i concluded that -> yes, guys still go for looks (i mean must 看的顺眼) but at the end of the day, thats not what matters most. Unless the guy is super shallow. But my advice is - if girls ever meet a guy who's super shallow, DROP HIM LIKE A HOT POTATO!!!

2) Another thing that struck me was this question, when I pass on, what sort of legacy do I want to leave behind? Legacy does not equivalate to riches. But what will people whom I have cross paths with say when I pass on? Or what do I want them to say?

3) Lastly, another thing that struck me was "remember the image whereby MM Lee brought his hands to his lips and planted a kiss onto the forehead of his wife's body lying in the casket - not once, but twice". As we all know, his persona and achievements are larger than life and it was easy for anyone of us to see him as Mr Lee Kuan Yew -the icon, our Minister Mentor as well as the architect of Modern Singapore. But this week, with that image, I once again saw him as a person, just like anyone of us. A human being made of flesh and wired up with emotions.

On the lighter side of this post, I am counting down to Bangkok in 4 days times..woohoo!! Someone was asking me whether it was a holiday and I replied " I am going to boost BKK's GDP!"..hiaks hiaks. But I think the best part of the week is this -> besides this upcoming trip , I'm also going off to Bali next Feb for 3 other gfs and the even better part is -> my air ticket is FREE!

Oh well..4 more days to BKK but just yesterday on the way for my gym, I passed by Charles & Keith and decided to give them a chance and put my foot into the shop. (for those who know, I hardly ever buy Charles & Keith shoes)...As a result of this "wanting to give a chance", this was the resulting damage-->

a new pair of shoes! It was love at first sight! The front part is not the pointed type, its made of BLING BLING and the heel ain't very high as well!
