Istana Garden Party - 8 February 2009















When Daddy came back this evening, Noinoi asked him where he went earlier. He told her that he went to the Istana Garden Party to meet the Prime Minister and President. Innocently, both Nicky and Noinoi asked what is a Prime Minister and President.

Daddy was dumbfounded for a moment then he tried to explain that the Prime Minister and President are the people who run the country. In Wikipedia, defines Prime Minister the most senior minister of cabinet in the executive branch of government. A prime minister is the official who is appointed to manage the civil service and execute the directives of the president.

Daddy told mummy, of all the Ministers that he met today, the only one that he felt so honoured to meet was the Minister Mentor, Mr Lee Kuan Yew. The moment he was walking down from the staircase assisted by his aides, he was welcomed by thunderous applause and endless camera flashes. Daddy decided to join in the crowd to snap a shot of the Singapore "Father". Seeing the MM having to be assisted down the stairway, Daddy suddenly have this crunch, wondering how many more years and chances to be able to snap a picture for this great man.
