Blessed Tuesday

Hi! Have been feeling very calm and contented recently :) Everything around me seemed to look so good and smooth going. Perhaps it's due to the lack of stress and assignments? :)) My day was packed today with activities which I thought was rather fruitful/ important, hence the title of the post :)
Firstly, It is regrettable that our country had suffered great loss of 2 important persons recently: Dr Balaji and Mrs Lee Kwan Yew. I admit that I do not actually know a lot about them as I do not read up about political news etc.. However, it is undeniable that our life in Singapore have been so peaceful and carefree due to their contributions/ hard work and effort. It is really unfortunate that we have lost them. May they RIP. Jie and I went to pay our last respects to the late Mrs Lee today at The Istana. It was really packed with people like us, wanting to pay our last respects. We were really lucky as our waiting time was really short, the estimated waiting was 2 hours - 2 and a half hours. But we only took less than an hour to go in and out. There was a queue before entering The Istana, another queue was at the security checkpoints, queue for waiting the bus to shuttle us into the Istana where the wake was held, a stretch of road to the hall where the wake was, a queue to sign our names, a queue to wait for our turn to bow and lastly a queue to get out of the Istana. The process was tiring and at times intolerable, however, it was all worth it was the last form of respect we could give and also a small gesture of being thankful to her contributions to the country as a Singaporean. In addition, Mrs Lee is also a role model to us. She took on her roles as a wife, mother, grandmother and leader dutifully and performed her tasks really well. Therefore, i truly salute and respect her. May Singapore continue to prosper well.
After the wake, we rushed to BBDC as I had to take my FTT. I was a lil late, but i still managed to take the test. And yes, I passed! Happy!
Proceeded to IMM for late lunch (4pm) at HK Cafe. Shopped at Daiso for a lil while for mini containers and hair band.. Then, we had the most sinful tea desert ever!! Muddy Mud Pie at Coffee Club! It was basically a huge piece of ice cream! 2 layers with 2 different flavours: Coffee and chocolate! With rich and generous amount of oreo crumbs and chocolate sauce drizzled  on and under the ice cream. My sis was so evil, she made the whole block of ice cream fell and the crumbs dropped on my dress :'( WTH.. and she was laughing uncontrollably. Grr.. Anyway, i dunno whats was in my mind when i ate the ice cream, i ate it in huge chunks without hesitation and soon, the whole block of ice cream was gone within 10 minutes.. Power or what? LOL, i'm so gonna gain weight cos of my greediness.. Homed after meeting up with a buyer and i'm worn out! Another new day tomorrow!
The terribly sinful mudpie which conquered within 10 minutes :)) YUMS!
