chanced upon the "History of Singapore" on discovery channel on sunday..a 3 part series. Never really knew the precise details of my nation. Unbelievable how much a nation so small & totally insignificant could transform itself given a short span of 40 years.
Interesting to watch those old black & white video clips with LKY talking about how he first got started, challenges faced & solutions that he put forth - mind boggling! amazed at how much wisdom, talent, creativity & productivity this man has in the inside of him...he literally built the nation from scratch. From nothingness to greatness. Causes me to think how much more talent & creativity God has originally gave to us ... each one of us to have that potential to expand on the inside & explode on the outside. Just by meditating on that excites me, boost my faith & make me so thankful to God & Him creating all things, including myself. All of a sudden, the sense of thankfulness that I am created, born in Singapore (I NEVER complain or despise my nationality...in fact I am always very PRouD to be a Singaporean! I've no hesitation to say that I am from the Lion City whenever pple realise that I don't sound, talk, act, behave like a local chinese! Everything of me gave it away i think!) and all that I am and have. I am eternally grateful to my Lord
This is just part 1 for today...just into the writing mood today! stay tuned!
