When your phone drops into the toilet bowl...

What happens when your phone drops into the toilet bowl?

It once happened to my brother, and last Monday it happened to me.  Luckily, the toilet bowl was clean, at least visually it was clean. 

After my phone dropped into the toilet bowl, I did something that one shouldn't do when the phone is wet, I tried to turn it on. According to google, that is the last thing one should do. One should immediately remove the battery and dry all the parts of the phone.

Any way, my phone died and I couldn't turn it on. So I started up my old iPhone in case my phone is forever dead but my iPhone also cannot make it one, home button and on/off button both dead.

So i have heard of putting wet phone in a bucket of rice. In order not to waste rice, I used packets of dehumidifier. After a few tries of trying to on the phone, it will on and shut down again.  So i thought gone case. But around 3 plus, it started working again. It took me more than 12 hours, so never give up hope!

Haha, so thanks to my 'intelligence',  I am able to type this post now.

Farewell Our Founding Father

Today is an especially depressing day for me,  and I would say for many Singaporeans. Even the sky seems to be crying for our loss. Today we bid our final farewell to our founding father, Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Throughout this week, we could see how much Singaporeans respect and value him. I really applaud those people who queued hours at the parliament house to show their respect and gratitude towards him.  It is definitely not easy waiting there for hours in the hot and humid whether. Not only Singaporeans, but also leaders who gathered here from all over the world to show their last respects to him.

All thanks to his great vision and ability to attract and run a great team, we get to live in Singapore-a safe, secure, clean, comfortable and prosperous place we call home today. 

Thank you for dedicating your whole life to building Singapore to where she is today. You will be dearly missed. You are someone who cannot be replaced and Singapore wouldn't feel the same without you. 

This week we not only mourn his passing but we also celebrate his achievements. His legacy will live with us forever as Singapore build upon his legacy and bring her to even greater heights.  

Goodbye Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Rest in peace.

Early this morning, received news from my father that Lee Kuan Yew passed away. Although he had been critically ill for some time, I guess many of us were hoping for a miracle, also in hope that he can celebrate SG50 with us.  

I think it's ridiculous how some people were giving bad comments to someone who was critically ill.  You wouldnt do that to anybody else, why do that to somebody who played an important role in giving us the Singapore we have today. 

No matter whether you are a supporter or not a supporter of him,  it is sad news for us,  for Singapore.  It is undeniable that he has played an important role in helping to build Singapore from what she was to where she is today. 

Due to the extensive coverage of him during this period, not only is he a founding father of Singapore,  he also comes off as an extremely caring and loving husband to his wife, and father to his children.
Even though he has passed on, his legacy as a founding father of singapore will continue to stay with us,  for generations to come. 

When everyone feels his departure and grief even when we do not know him personally, we know that he has been a great leader.
I really like this picture of his. 


"At the end of the day, what have I got? A successful Singapore. What have I given up? My life." 
  
And because of that, we are able to enoy what we have today. Thank you.
