Today there was a visit by our Minister Mentor Mr Lee Kwan Yew to our estate to honour the Tree Planting Day event.
Well, since 3 weeks ago, our estate has been "exceptionally" clean and some of our blocks walls was repainted to prepare for his arrival. Maybe I should say a big Thank You to our MM Lee. I tried to get hold of the tickets for this event but somehow I couldn't get it as the RCs were closed most of the time.
Nevertheless, today, we went down at 5pm sharp, hoping to catch a glimpse of MM Lee upon his arrival. Giselle was very excited too today. Well not because of MM Lee, but because she wanted to watch the performance on the stage. haha.
We waited till 5.45pm but still no sight of MM Lee. Jaren was getting real crankly as he was perspiring among the crowd. Giselle too was complaining that she's very hot and kept saying why have to wait so long.. Well, KIDS!
Hence we headed to the coffeeshop for dinner and went back at around 6.20pm when MM Lee had arrived. I managed to catch a glimpse of him from far. When he gave a short speech on stage, I realised that he is really old and frail as he spoke quite softly. Nevertheless, I am happy to finally get to see him for once. A highly respectable man of Singapore! :)
