Today I was asked whether it was a success

And I have to say, "yes" My environment has improved. Barney looks forward to coming home as there is a community in this estate that has a pool side to congregate, to say hello or to swim with friends and discuss what ever is on our minds. Yes I hear the district mp will even push for noise barriers while the mrt is built. ( I appreciate the thoughtfulness that has crossed their minds). Yes I was invited to resorts world. Though When I did go, I saw the great effort hui hwa put into sharing her love of history with us all. Though I thought the perspective could have also been about the first settlers, the passion of the businessman. On another note, I like the more open approach of discussing sensitive topics like race relations, how else can the community grow intellectually and socially, if they don't discuss the matter and take positive steps. Good to see the youth involved in the Otto conference too to make Singapore a more gracious society. I'm happy the poor are being cared for and even banners are up for people to call comcare hotlines if any individual knows of anyone in need.Yes I see more initiatives to know the people, to listen. Can the Singaporean be drawn to continue the impetus? I think it is possible but it will take a lot of effort, reaching out one by one. It will take time, hope and lots of love.
