Visited the Kranji War memorial and Bukit Chandu yday.. The thought of people sacrificing their lives for the peace of Singapore struck me hard.. When you see the graves of the soldiers who died in the war, some of the graves had no name, some bodies mixed up, "buried near this spot" etc.. Heros with names we would never know.. Heros with bodies never to be found... Every spot in Singapore is covered with blood of the once living person that either defended Singapore or lived here in this land and even the enemies who was fighting for their country.. They were all children of their parents.. Someone will be crying their hearts out when they die.. However, where war is concerned, lives have no more value.. Saddening, isn't it?
Is it really neccessary to go through war?
What's the point of losing so many lives for the sake of conquering countries, when in the end, you lie down in just a small plot of land, with simply a tombstone engraved with your name?
Ok.. To end the heart-wrenching topic, there's 1 interesting thing i found out abt Singapore River yday, do u know where is the start of Singapore River? hee hee.. Make a guess..
