Got Milk?
Have a sudden craving for milk.
Have had two consecutive weeks riddled with countless 'night-off's. Caught Firewall and The Inside Man. Firewalls a B-grade but Inside Man came close to entering my list of fav movies if not for the uneventful ending sequence. (I want my bloody turban!)
In a perpetual state of disbelief. I'm flying off tmr morning?! Won't be back for close to a month. No more local fare. No more waking up at 0530... daybreaks at 0430 there... Cookhouse food replaced by .... yet to see what a bunch of NSF 'ah-beng'ish amatuer cooks can whip up.
Just heard some pre-recorded msg by PAP wailing throughout the neighbourhood. And some kid, around the age of 12 was under my block blasting the party going "Stupid PAP! Shuddup LaH! You @#$%!"...
Kids these days... tsk tsk -shakes head in dismay-
How did their object of hate change from the notorious "Weekend Homework" to the People's Action Party?...
I'm not really into politics. But from what i've seen in the news lately, the opposition doesn't seem to have much of a chance. With that SDP dude making so many dumb accusations, think all the opposing parties have lost credibility in the eyes of those who aren't politically enlightened, that includes me.
Never knew exactly how many opposing parties there are.. still don't ...and frankly speaking... don't give a shit. Just like many of my fellow computer-gaming, Greenday-listening, slacking peers of average intelligence, I really can't be bothered with politics for a couple of reasons.
I know they're dumb reasons but as i mentioned before... I'm politically unenlightened...
Firstly, it just isn't a really cool subject. (no offence Blue Van)
For someone my age, you don't just start a conversation about politics anytime unless your job calls for it, you're one of those brilliant fellas in the youth arm of a party or you wanna impress someone really bad...
Secondly, even if I desperately wanted to impress someone with political savvyness, it'd mean i'd have to do some research. We're just too lazy for our own good...
Maybe the govt should replace Moral Education in schools with Basics of Politics. They say that the youth in S'pore are oblivious to the political scene. I say drop Moral Ed... it's useless anyway... can't rem anything that was taught.. can't even rem WHEN we were taught that... was it pri sch? But I DO rem that ME lessons were periods of R&R... our minds would just switch off and we'd just stare blindly at the overzealous teacher like sleepy zombies.
Why i mentioned the opposition doesn't have a chance?
They don't wear white. It makes one appear honest. Like you've nothing to hide.
The opposition always looks so desperate. They go around frantically handing out pamphlets, shouting slogans, making a mockery of themselves.
Yes.. i know... you have a grudge and have some points to communicate to the public but you could do so in a more professional, stylised manner. Maybe donning a tux, hiring a professional image consultant and getting makeovers would do you some good...
The critics might say that your party's just a big show and there's nothing credible behind the black suit but you've got to remember that it's the politically unenlightened, middleclass, non-critique-reading, can't-be-bothered-bout-anything-but-our-bread-and-butter youth that will eventually hold the most votes...
Just my thoughts...
may all be bullshit to those really into politics.. >.<
