well, silly me didnt realize that the man who wrote the Pledge was alive until he died.
i am bad. i am sorry...
remenber how tabloids are supposed to take a softer angle towards even the hard news?? TNP came up with the Lovesick angle.
pretty cool. it really has appeal.
instead of just portrayin mr s rajaratnam as a man with ideas, it potrayed him as a man who was true to his love til the very end.
Mr S. Rajaratnam, who died at 90, has a Hungarian wife whom he courted durin the world war two days.
his wife died of pneumonia in 1989, and it is suffice to say he was effectively sufferin from a broken heart thereafter. they had no children... i wonder why.
he would sit in their bedroom, brooding, drowning in lonelines?? for what does it really feel to lose ur true love... forever? and never to find someone worthy as a replacement for you know she cant never, ever has someone to replace her.
not only mr s. rajaratnam who was such a example of everlastin love,
our previous president, was just as eat-love. Mr Ong Teng Chong, wrote hundreds of love letters to his wife and on the day before he died, he played on the piano, all the songs they had shared.
another previous president, Mr Wee Kim Wee kept a list of his wife's fav songs in a secret folder. and they were married for 69 years!!!
isnt so sweet. i wished i lived in the previous generations where people didnt have high divorce rates, who could stay faithful to each other even in the most turbulent times...
they proved true love do exist...
at least for politicians.
