Singapore and old friends

Singapore means catching up with old friends while at work. Kirp's last year at the Wee Kim Wee Centre.An amazing story about the setting up of the Centre and how it got its name.It's Kirp's magic touch and him meeting a great man who said his name must not be used to make profit and also the Centre has to give access to the less privileged.Wow and Kirp kept his word.

I came to honour a great friend as well.And got to meet other friends..Margaret and hubby came to watch movie  with me then we went out for a drink.Phil raised the issue of how food can divide.And his love for dogs.Wht he wanted to know about things he could not ask local Muslims he asked me but I didn't have all the answers but we spoke.

Will be meeting a couple more friends besok. Kimball is in town too. He was telling me about his trips everywhere..Myanmar, Tunisia, Taiwan, etc.

It has been a great seminar on peace and harmony. Let's hope I still have interesting things to say tomorrow at my session. Like everything I want to say has been said today.

He has kept all of us together on peace
