5 Memorable quotes by Lee Kuan Yew
Beautiful sunset over the Merlion Park, Singapore
“A nation is great not by its size alone. It is the will, the cohesion, the stamina, the discipline of its people and the quality of its leader which ensure it an honourable place in history.”
“You know, the cure for all this talk is really a good dose of incompetent government. You get that alternative and you’ll never put Singapore together again: Humpty Dumpty cannot be put together again… and your asset values will be in peril, your security will be at risk and our women will become maids in other people’s countries, foreign workers.”
“I’ve always tried to be correct, not politically correct.”
“Churchmen, lay preachers, monks, Muslim theologians, all those who claim divine sanction or holy insights, take off your clerical robes before you take on anything economic or political.”
“At the end of the day, what I cherish most are the human relationships. With the unfailing support of my wife and partner I have lived my life to the fullest. It is the friendships I made and the close family ties I nurtured that have provided me with that sense of satisfaction at a life well lived, and have made me what I am.”
Lee Kuan Yew (1923 – 2015)
First Prime Minister of Singapore
What We’ve Done with Brain Switched Off, in 6 Words
LOL….\(❀‿❀)/

The lights are sometimes on – even if no one’s home.
It happens. Sometimes, it’s mild – like when I wore the wrong team’s shirt to a soccer match. Or left an egg salad sandwich in my car on a sweltering July afternoon. Wait, that wasn’t minor, was it? We all do stuff with our brain switched off. Right?
Every month, I compile a post called 6 Words. Ernest Hemingway inspired it when he said any story can be told in a six-word sentence. I ask bloggers, friends, strangers, and a few strange blogger friends to respond to a prompt.
March is Brain Awareness month. Sometimes, we’re not so aware, though. In six words, what’s something you’ve done with your brain switched off? Think “put on my hoodie backwards – again.”

Showy ‘Hiwhiskers’ and Yellow Bells – Bloggy Cat
As you know, Hiwhiskers (Hibiscus) is a tropical shrub that produces showy trumpet-shaped flowers in an array of beautiful colours.
So, today I will tell you the meaning of each colour based on the colour ‘phycatlogy’ facts:
White hibiscus
White is the colour of purrrfection and it indicates a fresh beginning. It’s a reminder for humans to start clearing their clutter and obstacles away.
Pink hibiscus
Shocking pink!
Ice pink!
Pink is the colour for relaxation and good health, as in being ‘in the pink’ and having ‘pink rosy cheeks’. It is also the universal colour of love. So, please start loving cats.
Red hibiscus
Red is the colour of vigour and courage. It has high visibility. That’s the reason why humans paint the stop signs and fire equipments red.
Orange hibiscus
Orange is the colour of warmth and happiness. It brings spontaneity, helping humans to look on the bright side of life.
Yellow bells
Yellow is the colour of joy and happiness. This is the purrrrfect shrub for you if you love yellow. Many humans believed it helps sharpen their memory and concentration skills. No wonder I see so many houses in the neighbourhood planting this shrub in their garden.
But here’s the interesting part. Have you ever seen a coconut tree using the yellow bells as a hula skirt? Well, see it for yourself…
Hey….let’s do the hula dance!
Okay folks, meow-ry melodies!
“In a gentle way, you can shake the world.”
