There was a time when people said that Singapore won't make it, but it did....
I'll be embarking on a journey to fill up sandbags to defend the shores of this country. And i need some sort of modified pail to do it. Efficiency is important. The faster the sand is loaded, the longer we can rest. Looking forward to the new pail. One. Fine. Day.

Something I picked off from Yahoo News... And I quote:
"Why should Singaporeans vote for the PAP?
You voted for PAP, and you get to pay 7% GST instead of 5%.
You voted for PAP, and they peg power to the price of oil even when
80% of Singapore’s power comes from natural gas.

more than the original.
You voted for PAP, and your ministers demanded a 85% pay raises.
You voted for PAP, and your job went to a foreigner.
You voted for PAP, and your neighbors become foreigners.
You voted for PAP, and your elderly gets to enjoy the dignity of
employment by cleaning toilets, scavenging trash bins for aluminum
cans and selling tissue papers.
You voted for PAP, and your minsters tell you it is your fault that
Mas Selemat escaped.

sinking foreign banks rather than to save you from starvation.
You voted for PAP, and not only do your ministers literally spit on
you, but their scions tell you to “get out of their elite uncaring
faces”.
You voted for PAP, and you are amply rewarded with ERPs at your doorstep.

You voted for PAP, and you got a Division 3 Prime Minister who needs 2
mentors to hold his hand.
You voted for PAP, and you got a large serving of Mee Siam Mai Hum, at
your own expense.
You voted for PAP, and your salary stayed stagnant for more than a
decade while the cost of living shoot sky high.
You voted for PAP, and you see the foreign kids get a place in school
while you child get zilch.

workers right smacked in the middle of a peaceful neighborhood without
any concerns for you.

more hookers than they can ever poked in Geylang.
You voted for PAP, and your government happily demands $5000 ang pao

Chinese 7th month, courtesy of your S&C contribution to your town
councils which is suppose to go toward making life in your
neighborhood better.
You voted for PAP, and they protect the interests of the petrol
companies by making you pump 3/4 tank before you cross the causeway.
You voted for PAP, and they see nothing wrong with fining you for
driving a foreign registered car into Singapore.
You voted for PAP, and you discover that world-class super talented
multi-million dollar minister with all the state resources and
manpowers cannot even catch a limping man in this tiny island state
after more than half a year.
You voted for PAP, and you realise that your MP’s job is not to speak
out for you in parliament, but to tell you to tighten the belt, bite
the bullet, eat lesser and work longer.
You voted for PAP, and your kids have to stay with you till 40 years
old, as they cannot afford the cheapest “public” housing.
You voted for PAP, and your government tells you that their
interpretation of subsidies is the profit that they forgo making,
instead of actually paying part of the cost.
You voted for PAP, and everyone in Singapore suddenly got elevated to
Swiss standard of living, except you, and everyone around you.
You voted for PAP, and your neighbors can sell your home for you
(en-block), whether you like it or not.

labour in National Service and 13 more years as reservists, so that
the foreigners can have a safe country to work in.

$30k, because that is what you are going to get if your son die while

celebrating more salaries for PAP.Not everyone is invited though, you
will still have to ballot for it.

standard of living. Vote for PAP. Mee Siam Mai Hum ok?"

Hanging up my ebay account
It is that time of my life when I stop online shopping and start offline saving.
After doing quick maths, it's better to save for the future than to spend in the present. What was spent in the past has already got its rewards.
Makes sense?

The Day That Technology Died
this has been the worst day in the short history of technology. it has failed me terribly today.
1. a certain green internet service provider refuses to let me connect to the mobile internet. called them to rectify the problem, but to no avail. will try again tomorrow.
2. a certain korean brand netbook of mine decided to surprise me with the BSOD (blue screen of death) when i booted it up. but this has been rectified.
3. after the internet problem had been rectified, the wireless decided not to connect to a certain red internet provider.
4. well, all that's left to do is to get some mobile broadband thing from a certain orange service provider to further assist me on being connected "on the go".
sad.
i hope you are feeling better already, my beloved.
=) smiles. nothing would brighten my day more than to hold you in my arms.
