I never could understand why LKY cried when he announced separation, until today. Not that I cried or was even close to tears. Nor that the reasons behind the emotions are the same or even similar to that of 1965.
But it is the end of an era. Dramatically speaking. We will truly have nothing more to do with one another even as we are so very similar and so very different.
Despite the challenges, limitations, and differences, there was some beauty and synergy in the archaic union and exchange. And I suppose it were the challenges, limitations and differences that made the triumphs and occasional harmony all the more sweet.
Even with the nostalgia, I cannot bear to hashtag rememberingkclmss (or any hashtags for that matter) or posting this on FB cos that would just be too...
I will remember those days fondly. They are light years away.
