Dr Wee, a great man, a great leader. Was watching some shows that talks about the days when he was leading the country. Though I don't really know him that well, i still think that this man is someone that worth my respect.
The reason why he is given the name, 'people's president', probably because of a few things and I think we as individual should learn from him. He is a very humble man. Even though he as the status of the President, he don't want the people to feel that there is authority in his prescence. What a boss right? How many boss do you see have this kind of attitude towards their people? That can even apply to our everyday life. Even though you have a degree, will you look down at a garang guni man? hmm..
Loving kindness and showing care and concern. I think this is the main reason why he was given that name. Always showing care wherever he visits and always feel for the people. I mean, he is really something.
At his funeral, so many people came over to visit him and they have their own story of how the president had touched their life or even impacted their life. Was thinking, have i actually impacted someone's life.? When you finally leave this world one day, are your friends gonna be crying badly for you or they just think, " oh, he is just another unimportant friend."
You decide.
Today I went to Orchard for awhile. While I was walking along Orchard to a bus stop, I heard someone playing drums in front. So, I thought there is a band performing or something. But actually, its a young boy. He is 6 years old actually. There is this note that says something like that, " Hi, I'm Ethan Ong( the youngest busker in S'pore) and I'm 6 years old. I started playing the drums when I was 2 years old." and I think there are somemore things but i forgot. haa.
I thought that's something interesting. The performance is nothing but he's drum, him and his father. Oh ya, and also a speaker or maybe its a radio. But what attracts me is the speaker actually audio out the christian song and he will just 'drum' along. He played praise songs. Though he didn't played very well or like some professional, but I still like his performance. The fact that he uses Christian song, the fact that he got the courage to do that at his age and of course, other factors. I gave my last two dollars to him actually.
I actually recalled once about my friend who is a guitarist. We were walking along Orchard Road and there is this band that was playing for charity. The guitarist is ok lah, I should say.. but my friend just say, " wah lau, guitar play until so lousy also want people to donate." I don't know for you. But I was turned off by that statement. I mean, the main thing is about the charity right? You are not going to give charity because of that lousy guitarist? I think this kind of people is really shallow and thinks that they are high and mighty up don't know where in the sky. Are you not gonna call the 1900 line when the mediacorp Stars didn't performed up to expectations? This kind of performance is to attract people's attention and of course, encourage people to do charity and not the other way round.
I know this thing doesn't link with the busker thingy but I just wanna bitch about some people. Bah.
Exams are over! Thank God! Two weeks of exams takes like forever but anyway, i'm out of it now so just enjoy!
I want a good plug-in acoustic guitar! I don't mind electric. Anyone sponsor? hee :)
I was watching the charity show last night and it came across this pitiful old lady which of course have a kidney failure. They interviewed her and she was crying and says that the deepest pain is not that she is having the illness but rather is her children that leave her alone. Not even giving her any money for even the basic needs in her daily life and they don't visit her at all.
I seriously cannot understand why there are people like this! Sometimes it really stirs up my anger. How can someone do that to their own parents and have they thought that their own children will do that to them one day? My goodness!
Do you believe in our lost is Heaven's gain?
hmm...
