I cannot imagine that so much has gone by since the last time I wrote my blog on 25 April. I had been to Singapore from 29 April to 1 May to see Serene and Meng How. It was both fun and an experience to be in the Settler's Cafe. The food was good. Imagine, Meng How is one of the chefs of the cafe. He said that cooking those dishes is a breeze after going through them a few times.
I always enjoyed going to Singapore. It's a very efficient society. Almost a cashless society. May be because of the fact that I am an engineer and always appreciate how engineering innovation makes lives so much more convenient and easier. The city is generally much cleaner (hardly any noticeable littering) and the society seems much more civilized (as least on the surface).
A few questions did cross my mind when I stayed in Singapore. Can people's attitude be changed merely by courtesy campaign and through education? Is it more effective and faster to change people's attitude by enforcing the rule of laws. The serious enforcement of the rule of laws seems to work well in Singapore. As least that's how I see it.
I also had the chance from 2 May to 3 May to meet up with the my wife's family members in KL. Hee Chuan's (2nd brother) family has now moved into a new double storey bungalow. Thaw Thaw is now driving with her P licence. Wow, how time flies!
When Lyanna first met my wife, she pulled her aside and told her "Aunti, I have finally found a man just like Uncle Alfred who will love me for the next twenty years!". This was told by my wife to me. I was thinking, "Why 20 years! Isn't is supposed to be "Till death do us part". This is understandable probably because she is not a Christian yet.
We stayed in Lyanna's place and did have a good time with her. She was ever ready to open her home for us to stay when we go there in future. Truly, I pray from my heart that if she ever decides to marry this man, he would turn out to be a good and loving husband.
