Post National Day.. n 1 year older..

Singapore just celebrated her 43th birthday on the 9th August! I sat in front of the TV and watched the whole parade live from the Marina Bay floating platform! Asked me what I liked? Well, I do not have any special likes or dislikes but i guess the rain probably brought the whole spectators together with their red disposable rain coat.

Today I was trying to queue up to get mushroom soup. There was a couple in front of me who was trying to find out what is these soup thingy. My bag hit the lady while i tried to squeeze to the front of the queue. She was really fussy about it but she was like standing there with no inking of her blockage. The reason why I was trying to move pass her was they were really taking a long time n holding up the people trying to get into the queue. Anyway, the comment is why some people are so damn self centered and not aware that they are holding up the rest of the world! Yah! Well the morale of the story is we should be more aware of our environment. Decide what you want to get before you get into a queue and if you really need to ask, do apologise to those who are patiently waiting behind you and who have already made up their mind what they want to order! I could have been more patient too.

Since the olympic started yesterday, the most apt quote from Ikeda Sensei from words of wisdom "Life may be more akin to a series of meets than a single marathon. You can lose a race here or there, as long as you win in one contest, in one area. All the struggles you endured will become a prized investment in your own person."

Watched " The day after tomorrow" recently and I really like this movie! Global warming can be real so why do we not try to do something about it! Instead of living for myself and for today, we can change our motto to for ourselves and for the future! Ultimately this will benefit ourselves! Remember life is continuous and our legacy will be carried forward!
