Dear Mr. Lee When I was a small girl, I had heard bad things about you. Not that I remember what they were about, but I recall that they had to be negative remarks, because my father never liked you. I even disliked you under the influence of my father, but without an intimate knowledge of the nation's history then. When I got older, my relationship with my father turned sour. We never talked about you anymore. I began to take a neutral stand because I knew I was in no position to judge you without knowing enough what you did for the nation. When my father was dying and in a delirious state, the last line he mumbled was not having caught you. I kind of gave up hope on him. For at his deathbed he did not ask about the well being of his family, nor about his siblings who had sided him in every ridiculous way possible, but he was concerned about his never-going-to-happen battle with you. I did not spend hours queuing up to pay you my last respect. Nor did I watch any programmes that r...
I have mixed feelings. They are nothing too negative, therefore not corrosive. I am fine, I just think slightly more today. Slightly more than usual. Chris asked to meet. So we did today. He wanted to tell me about his plan to propose to Yunni. But he had done it before we met. So we kind of talked more about future plans and who he was going to invite to his wedding. It seemed like we were only talking about it over dinner some time ago and he was saying all these would not happen so soon. There, it is happening already. While I do not really tell him, I am glad he always thinks of me whenever he moves on to the next stage of his life. He always makes it a point to tell me. I do not know what I did to deserve this, but I am just glad. I am actually very tired. Mentally. Work piles up everyday and even so, I think that is fine because I like to be constructively occupied. I just really want to keep up with people whom I love and care for. I even turn down appointments to want to spend ...
Ninety percent of my brain says "go to sleep" because it has been an arduous day today. But that remaining ten percent insists on penning down some thoughts because the memory has not been exceptionally good these days and probably will not be anymore. Finally, for goodness sake, the big project is over. It lasted almost half a year. From the happy and fun-loving team to the tired and scattered group. Really, I tried to do whatever I could. And I do not think I deserved to be treated rudely especially when I had tried to make things easier for everyone. It ended on a good note, I am sure. I just do not see the point in certain unhappiness clearly portrayed after the event. Then again, I know, maybe to a certain extent I need to reflect upon myself, on whether I should have cared less. Nonetheless, it has ended anyway. While it is not as if there are no other projects to work on, I guess there is something new to look forward to all over again. And I am hoping for the b...
Congratulations, gl!
