In a world of my own

Saturday, October 2, 2010

The news of Mrs Lee Kuan Yew's (Mdm Kwa Geok Choo) has spread like wildfire. Although we all know about her condition, it was still a shock to many of us.

The thing that has struck me the most thus far, is not about how great this woman is. Yes, indeed, she's the woman behind the very successful man. But what has left a deep impact in me, while watching the news reports, is the LOVE shared between Mr and Mrs Lee Kuan Yew. I really love the video, which I saw on TV, where both Mr and Mrs Lee were under an umbrella, and Mrs Lee was sharing about Mr Lee. What she liked about him, how he was like when they were young, how Mr LKY was such a handsome man. And when Mrs LKY commented on the handsomeness part, Mr Lee gave a real hearty laugh. A laugh which somehow made me see the soft side of him. A laugh which stripped the political Mr Lee 'skin' and revealed the real genuine side of him. What an amazing sight that is.

The Love that is between them is so full, so real, so perfect. I started wondering whether I will ever experience that kind of love. One that keeps people going and loving each other till a ripe old age. One which has hardly lost any parts throughout the years of a relationship, despite the ups and downs of life. One which is sustained and continues to be nourished, gently and lovingly by both parties. It is really amazing to see such a Love existing in this world....

Hopefully, someday, I'll get to experience it and that it will be able to last till the day I die....

- Will I ever?
