Met mr tan today. He's 82 fucken years old and still standing strong. The moment we strike a conversation,I knew that this old man isn't just any other old man. He's a cook. He was. And granny told methat back then he was the chief cook of some restaurant in orchard and earned big bucks per hour. Mr tan is from mainland china and have been in Singapore for 70 years now. And so he told me about his life and such and how he was during Japanese occupation and such. Life was hard. Life is such. Such is life for him. But this old man did not give up. He's got great determination. He's just awesome. Even when life is a bitch he managed to give the best for his family, for his children. All four of them graduated from nus. Before he left, mr tan told me something that really touches my heart and made me ponder.Something deep.
