Well....
This is it.
It has been a nice dream....the past 9 days.
We hear the speeches, we saw the cross-fire, we were inspired by the idealism and courage, and we heard the things we want to hear someone tell the Govt being told.....all the things that doesn't happen often in SG.
For a moment there, it almost felt that a real change is actually happening in Singapore. it almost felt like this time, it's not going to be the same, that this time it's gonna make a difference.
Almost.
Tmrw is polling day. And tomorrow night, the results are going to be out.
I feel like i am holding a lottery ticket and waiting for the results.
In some ways, i wish the results will never be known so that I can continue to dream and hope, of all the things that's going to be different should I win the lottery.
I wish the results will never be out because i also know that chances are, it's just another false hope.
Chances are, the results are not going to be that big a surprise from previous elections.
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
Let's look forward to the next mid-spring festival 5 years later. Hope i still get a chance to vote then.

Whose side will you choose? Darkside or rebel?
The Imperial Empire is strong, their influence is far reaching, many have already fallen.
It has taken you many years of training and discipline to master the complex ways of the Force, the Force is strong in you, you have many skills, but the Dark Side is hard to resist, the Empire is influential, many of your group have already scummed to the Empire's mind tricks. Be strong Luke.
You are a Jedi, you WILL convert to the Dark Side. There is NO escape.
I sense much fear in you, but weak you are not, the resistance depends on you, choose well, if not your LIFE will belong to the Dark Side.
May the Force be with you ALWAYS. -
Yet where there is dream there is life. Life is over-pragmatic with every single action aimed at filling the government coffers and acquitting itself of accountability for larger challenges in social and cultural enrichment of people.
Citizens are herds of milking cows leading a colorless and materialistic detached existence with many losing their motivation. Attention is given to elites and their continuous wellbeing plus the foreigners who are more treasured than the heartlanders except during election time.
The victors are the inner sanctum of chosen elites and their sycophants. Leaders are sucking away wealth from citizens through housing and transportation alone. Let us hope come July the fares will not increase again.
Life is turned into souless biological existence, meaningless for many. We have witnessed many such souless meaningless life among citizens old and not so old.
Carry on dreaming..with a dash of reality. -
Don't speculate lah..Time will tell. Maybe 50 years later, we still see the same things
By then I may be gone then -

Sigh.....dun say already lah....think already sian....

FINALLY i get a chance to vote.....
...but i get to choose between PAP and SDP...
You say lah....how to vote like that??
On one hand, i am all for an alternative voice....
On the other hand, my alternative is a bunch who seems about to put on face paint and start juggling anytime now...
Rock and a hard place you know or not??
Between a rock and a hard place!
Sian....really dunno how to vote. -

1st time vote feel like spoiling liao...... -
I am in the process of setting up an R&D tech company,
which I believe has a great potential being first of its kind here.
But if PAP wins big, I will have to consider
if I should prefer foreign investors to local ones
or even set it up elsewhere.
Maybe I should just go China, Taiwan or elsewhere. -
You know what's the irony?
I'm rooting for the WP and the SDA but i am NOT a fan of democracy AT ALL.
I think at best, it is an (useless) inconvenience and worst, it's the best way to make sure nobody get their way.
If i can choose, i would choose to be under a beneign monarchy any day. -
Eh!! Siao liao lah!!! I really don't know how to vote tmrw.....
I thought my mind is made up already.....
But just now went for the national jester's rally and now keep thinking they like damn poor thing......like si bey si bey cham like that......after the elections probably don't even have a political party to belong to.....
dunno want to give them pity vote or not... -
Guys....
it's so clear...
even all those who wants opposition vote for the opposition, it maybe at most 55%??
so if u guys dun vote, they dun even have a chance...
we just cannot let the gov thinks they really did such a fantastic job...
human being tends to be complacence...
hence...use ur vote to warn them that they better do better...
and for those who want a balance and check in the parliament,
Vote for opposition, let our voice goes in!
we need at least 1 grc in..
Aljunied GRC, WP
!
I hope this dream of mine will come true tomolo night,
seeing the roaring crowd at serangoon stadium tonight,
if they dun win, i will be very disappointed -
Frankly, arent political stability one of the many factors to attract startup?Originally posted by blazon:I am in the process of setting up an R&D tech company,

You study business? -
I'm not a fan of SDP.. but they still have my vote!
I vote for anyone but PAP!! -
I have to say I a bit angry they come to Sembawang.....or else we could have gotten Workers Party as the alternative choice...

they're going to review the effects of internet, blogging and podcasts after the election.. KIASI lah. I hate them.
Stupid MBT takes an Mrt ride and claims it's very comfortable. Ok, I don't mind trading in my EZ link card with his BMW. He can take all the comfortable MRT rides he likes.. complete c0ck. -

hi TooFree,Originally posted by TooFree:Frankly, arent political stability one of the many factors to attract startup?
You study business?
1) are you saying we will not get political stability if opp win 5-10 seats?
are u saying tat in every other 1st world countries there is no politcal stability?
2) and like you said, it is ONLY ONE of MANY Factors to attract startup.
in fact, as long as there is no one killing each other in the street,
the other factors are even more important.
eg cost and quality of manpower etc etc
for simple jobs, the our high cost is making us less compeitive.
for mid-value jobs, like normal engineering or high-end manufacturing
we r still ok.
but for high-value jobs like high-tech R&D, i have to say our quality
is not there yet...
Worst still, we had created a culture where everyone only wants
a stable job in GLC or MNC w prestige, who wants to join startup?
Rice bowl and stability ranks over their true passion.
Moreover, the cheap FTs without good check is making R&D engineers,
which is infact a highly professional job to plain high-class "factory worker" without recoginition.
These further result in good people moving out of R&D.
Why do you think they restructure so drastically to form Astar,
and promote Biotech.
And Astar, to me, is still almost like another GLC.
But i have to applaud Philip Yeo on some decisions nevertheless.
We have made much improvement in these indeed.
write to you more late if im free.. going out now. -
SIGN....................................
I hate it when I'm so prophetic about things like that.....
Before election, 3 opposition seats: 2 MPs, 1 NCMP
After election, 3 opposition seats: 2 MPs, 1 NCMP
Oh well....a man can wish....
But looking at the results stats, there's a change that's brewing below the surface, waiting to happen. Singapore's voters definitely have matured considerably and are much more sophiscated now.
Let's see 2011 then...
Aljunied people lah!! So many people go the rally but all wayang no action!!
Kana sai...make people hope only...
