"we will fight to the death" link

These are words coming out from the mouths of the patriotic Thais' who have taken control of 2 major airports in Bangkok.

Rash? Maybe.

Crazy? Absolutely not.

The Thais have great affection for their country and for their King.

So much so they can leave everything and protest against their government.

In an interview a few months back, a teacher was demostrating in Bangkok when the reporter asked her about her job.

"My job is not important. My country is most important now."

A simple sentence. But yet it can put Singaporeans to shame.

It is really heart warming to see how much the Thais can do for their country.

Can we do the same for our country here?

Will we fight to our death for this country that has provided so much stability and security for us?

When crisis comes, will you put on that uniform of yours and draw weapons ready for battle?

I will. How about you.

Why.

Why her?

I can't help but be in the shoes of Mr Puhaindran, whose wife, Lo Hwei Yen, was taken hostage in Mumbai and subsequently killed.

Wrong place, wrong time?

Maybe.

28 years old. Lawyer. Just married in June.

Life had just began for Ms Lo. But yet, on a one night trip to Mumbai.

Just one night.

Tragedy struck.

I am lucky to have my loved ones around me everyday.

My parents, siblings, grandpa, friends, Bro and of cos, Char.

But I can't help but be affected by our country's loss of a promising talent.

What is the world coming to.

S'pore hostage killed

Finished 3 papers.

Can't wait for the days that we had planned for.

Char bought for me a new bottle.

Can't wait to blog about it when I got the pic for her.

For now, I'm looking forward to Tues 7pm.

Salted Popcorn.....HERE I COME!

หงเวย์อยากเห็นฉัร์ลิ่นประจำวัน

You listened when I need someone to talk to.

You understand when things got tough for me.

You 往前走 with me regardless of what had happened.

You are part of my life now.

Thanks for believing in me.

ทุกวันสวยสวยเพราะฉัร์ลิ่นอยู่ชีวิตหงเวย์

Woke up with a weird feeling.

An "oh my god" feeling.

A sweet and sour feeling.

A feeling of wanting to see her.

Wanting to hear from her.

Wanting to be with her.

The world seems so beautiful and I am sure it will be from now on.

Drifting away again.......

21hrs. I will always remember this 21hrs.

From the moment I picked you up.

Enjoying the sun along CTE.

Braving the rain.

Making you the co-owner.

Walking and talking.

Stopped by Prudentials staffs.

Having our long awaited satay.

Braving the rain again.

Laugh about oh my god queen.

Seeing you feeling pressured.

Bringing a tired Charlyn home.

All in 21hrs.

This is, was, and always will be a wonderful day in my life. 19th Nov.

เวลาจะให้ฉัร์ลิ่นเข้าใจว่าหงเวย์รักฉัร์ลิ่จริงจริง

Wake up. Wake her up too.

Eat my breakfast. Thinking of what's she having.

Reading my notes. Wondering how is she memorizing hers.

Ride my bike. Thinking of "rainy day".

Teach tuition. Imagining how much she wanted to see me teach.

See my whiteboard. Half of it are her stuffs.

Study hard. Cos she loves to see me do maths.

Sleep. Ending the day with our end of day call.

This is life.

หงเวย์คิดถึงฉัร์ลิ่นขณะที่ผมลาเธอ...

Nowadays, I wake up every morning with a meaning. A purpose. A motivation.

The sky so blue. The clouds so nice. The sun so bright. Everything is really worth living for now.

Reminding myself..of the things I promise myself..Never to make the same mistake and never to go down that road again.

Never.

หงเวย์จะรักฉัร์ลิ่นทุกทุกวัน
