Elections

Lets talk abt elections today... Honestly, when the hints of elections came... the 1st thing that came to my mind was.. I wanna vote for the oppositions.. Because I feel that the PAP had dominate singapore for a long time. And I wanted to see if with some oppositions parties, would it increase the strength of PAP. Well, my concept is very simple. If you are in possess of a ball for too long, u will tend to forget that u r playing against another (weaker) person. However, if out of a sudden, ur ball get stolen by that so called weaker person, u will of coz reflect on what went wrong for u etc...


However, this few days, I must say, the oppositions parties have disappointed me deeply. 1st, is the law suit between Mr Chee n MM. Mr Chee is a bankrupt and that make things worst. Would u wan a party in ur GRC that is linked to a bankrupt? It affects the image of my GRC.

2nd, look at the oppositions party candidates... most of them look so old... like bussiness man.. r they really willing to give up their business to manage a GRC?

3rd, while reading the straits time yesterdae... one of the workers party if I'm not wrong.. think is MR Tong or Mr Pong.. cant remember.. anyway, he looks plum to me... Straits time asked the candidates to "carry on the sentences" like... "My greatest regret is..." "In School I was known as the..."

And u know what he replied was " MY greatest regret is I have no regret" Sounds silly? Lets face it.. we all have regret... saying those words to me is like when i wanna chase after a girl n i tell her i love her, one n only.. when i have said that to a number of girls before. *just use it for example*

N the worst is... " IN school I was known as the BAD BOY" haha... when i read that, i dun wan a thug to be a member of parliment for my GRC. Definantely not.

Lastly, the lastes batch of candidates from workers party.. MOst of them are SALESMAN!!! And we know how good salesman are at coaxin the bird from the trees.. Most of them have degrees like PAP candidates.. but theirs are PRIVATE.

And u noe the youngest candidate at 24yrs old? I mean... a 24yrs old to be a MP? haha.. BULLSHIT. If that guy is some scholar from overseas or he did something great for singapore, den he's worth my respect.. but mind u, that guy is an ITE graudate.

Imagine an ITE graudate running ur GRC, n ur kids do not do well in their studies... U scold them n they replied u.. "But Daddy... our MP also from ITE what... So doesnt mean getting poor grades I cant me an MP! I wan to be like our MP!"

Oh my god.. I will move out of that GRC...

All the best to my PAP candidates! At least, he's a minister.

*above are my personel comments and I am not linked to any party. I'm just an innocent voter*

Finally had the time to blog... So much things to blog abt... well, recently brought a new 14" TV for my cozy room.. hmm... i dunnoe why i need a tv in my room when there are already 3 TVs in the house. haha... perhaps its due to the progress package that i wanna reward myself alittle...

Next, I'm Proud to annouce I'm an official Biathelete! haha.. Up next will be Triathlon...

Hmmm... other than these usual stuff, there's nothing much else to blog... Waiting patiently for my RELC results...

Start Of Cold War

Cold war has started. N its starting because of a silly small matter. We quarrelled over house.

It used to be such a sweet thing to talk about.. But as the harsh reality sets in, its not romantic. Its STRESS..

If, we are talking abt 3room flat, there is absulutly no stress. But we are talking about condo! Nowadays, I'm slowly beginning to feel that talking about condo is so boring~! Yes, its BORING! I don't even want to think about it~! I don't even DARE TO think about it. WHo doesn't want to live in condo? Of course I wan! But can I?!

I'm only 21!!!!!! 21 years old!!!! I'm still serving the nation, getting a miserable ALLOWANCE of $349.20 per month~! WHO AM I TO THINK ABOUT CONDO?!!!

21 years old, at the age where most guys are still aimless in life, serving the nation, studying. Here I am preparing for my future, making plans for my little small family... But, to make a decision now is IMPOSSIBLE!

Before any decision is made, i wanna give myself alot more choices, like buying HDB b4 getting a condo, resale flats b4 we upgrade... but it seems there's no room for negotiation at all... SHE DUN WANNA LISTEN. SHE ONLY WANT CONDO!

is it wrong of my to give myself more choices? to find out which kind of flats truly fits my budget? No, a CONDO IS A MUST!

I know, her friends of her age are getting married.. But look at their husbands? 20+, 30+.. n my cousin is more ridiculus! married someone nearly 40!

Of coz they can afford to buy houses, condos.. I dun even noe if i can afford to buy a plasma TV now.

ARgh..........

Life

Been a long time since i last updated...

well, pretty much things happened... I was suppose to be in Formation Swimming Team, But my supervisor, being a fucking selfish Bastard, didn't let me go... In e end, I went ard asking for help... N I succeed! Haha.. Life as an attached out personnel is really good.. coz i meet more ppl..

Been training for my upcoming biathlon too! I guess I'm all ready for the event coming up on 26 March.... My target is to complete it without stopping!! If I can do that, I will go for OSIM Triathlon... yeah~ MY sporting spirits are back!

1 more year to ORD date... in fact, less than 1 yr... 11mths plus.. I always have the feeling that, if I ORD, I will become a real adult... Well, for now, I take myself as a young teenager transforming to become an adult.

Army days are some of those last few days in life where you can do some things that you missed doing in Secondary school or poly life. ( well, at least for me as a stay out personnel)

I can train for biathlon during my army days, I can swim for my formation... I can run for my formation, I can play sports for my formation.. But after I ORD, will i still have the time to do all these?

Adult life is damm stressful... Bills, loans, kids, family, wife, commitments, expenses... etc etc etc... n house.

Went to visit my frenz who passed away at mandai... 3 of us went... 3 of us.. good frenz... it used to be 5 of us... really really good frenz.... My Basketball team, My Soccer kaki, My Pool Frenz, My bowling buddies, My soccer team... Our Team..

Yet, he has to leave at such a young age.. 21 yrs old. I feel sad. When we went to visit him... we spent abt 2hrs plus with him.. N we started to chat abt how our life use to be so carefree....

Its really carefree.. yet now, so much worries....

However, we are going to make it a point to visit him at least once every year. He's my friend.

Swimming Meet

Went for my formation swimming meet for the 1st time. Haha... I took part in 50m Breast Stroke, 50m FreeStyle, 50m Backstroke, 50m Butterfly.

Have completed my breast stroke. Qualified for the freestyle, the backstroke dunnoe is final or heats.. Anyway, I find the meet alittle bit cock up..

For the timing wise.. i sms to baby.. ask her to keep for me.. coz i dun wanna look at it as it might affect my performace for the other events.. Haha.. Surprisingly, i did very badly in my breaststroke.. which i have expected to have a chance in the top 5 at least.. but in the end i came in 8th place.. Disappointed tot however, I have myself to blame.. coz i have really negleceted my breaststroke..

Since the start of the new year, i been focusing more on my back,free and butterfly.. I guess this is the results of over confidence. Something that my sec literature teacher has warned me about before.

However, I cam in 4th in the freestyle and backstroke. I'm quite happy with it. WIth my performace.. Thinking back, i think i swam really lousy in my breaststroke.. Must think of ways to improve on it..

Tml, is 50m butterfly.. I dun aim high.. Coming in the top 3 has never been in my mind. I went for this meet with a mentality that is.. "Just enjoy myself.. Experience the feeling of a competitive swimmer in a competition."

Honestly, i wanted all these experience for my students. In future, I'm going to coach competitive swimming. That's my aim. Surely I can share with them the experiences and the stress and pressure. Crowd Pressure. I like to share my experience with kids and see that they benefit from it.

WHen I was young, no one has ever shared this with me expect one of my swimming coach. I can still remember how he coached me and help me made my way to a sliver in breaststroke.

Hence, I'm quite disappointed in not achieving well in breaststroke today.

Well, I only got myself to blame coz I have not been training hard for this meet. hehe...

My objective is the biathlon. I wanna enjoy the experience and complete it. To me, Winning is not everything. Winning is just a form of recognition. You might win today, but u will not win forever.

Just like in gambling, you can win today, but one day u will sure lose, n when u lose u might lose everything( heard this from Channel U) hee..

What I wanted from this meet was just the experience, I had the experience when I was in pri 6. But after so long.. it seems to cool down.. so i wanna heat up that experience again.. If I win something, its a bonus. But I guess I have alreadi won myself in terms of timing. I'm proud of myself.

Next up, after this meet will be Biathlon.. ANd here I comes Biathlon~!~

Tired

Had my IPPT on friday. Now I'm feeling really really tired. Tot I passed, but i will still be taking my standing board jump again to achieve my sliver. Came in 1st for my 2.4km run, however my timing was not quite wat i had expected. 11:21. tot during my BMT, it was 11:30. But I been training hard for it. However, I'm still quite happy with it.

Had a little quarrel wif baby. Not quarrel, just being unhappy about her. Perhaps its my fault. But ever since dad ask me to go for that operation, it has been bothering me. When ever i hear abt it, think abt it, or i see it, I feel so upset, I mean.. its like, I will tell myself.. damm it..

Maybe I didnt tell baby abt it.. but its really bothering me. I tried not to think abt it.. but still.. haiz.. whenever anything abt it comes.. it just piss me off... I simply dont have e mood.

Supposingly to go chinatown wif her, promised her b4 that i will bring her there. Its a sat, its a day for both of us to be together. But... over there,will be her sis n her aunt. If in e 1st place when we say that sat is meant for us to be together, den why get her sis n aunt? I'm very angry when i 1st heard it.. but i try to please her...

After watching memoirs of geisha, i'm just too tired to do anything. I'm so hungry, all i request was to haf dinner wif her. N.. haiz.. forget it.. I'm not in a good mood now..

Musical For e very 1st time.

(Pic source from http://www.artscentral.sg/sceneinsingapore/thisweek.htm#kungfu)


Yupz.. went for my 1st musical for the very 1st time after living for almost 2 decades. It was Kungfu musical by Robin Leong. Well, he owns his own production company and sort of that. Called Chi` International or something like that. Just know that tis musical was produced by him n him company can liaoz. haha. However, I must say.. for a 1st timer going to the esplanade, it was really a real eye opener for me!

Ok, it began we driving to the esplanade and cant find a slot in B1, so we went to B2. B1, the cars look so normal, i mean.. cars tat u can see at any shopping centers. However, as we proceed to B2, I was shocked!! Guess what they have over in B2? Cars! Cars tat u dont get to see very often. Cars like BMW 3 series, Posche, Beattle etc... its like, its a place for all the branded cars.. And I was just wondering how come there are such rich people around. Haha.

Anyway, back to the musical. Before the musical start,I feel like I was in another dimension.. THe surrounding of the theatre, the music when we 1st enter, the atmosphere.. Woah~! It feel so nice, and they are smart! They made that area a place where u cant receieve any signal on ur mobile phone. Haha.~ So that we can enjoy the musical. Well done!

Talking about the music when baby n I just enter. It captures our ears and also our heart. And we were commenting on how sweet it sounds like.. And I brought the CD! For a price of $25.. which is rather expensive for a CD. But for a piece of sound track that u cant get it anywhere or download for the net (Havent check it out, anyway i dun bother), I think its worth it!

I listen to that cd for the whole of sunday! haha..
