rainy days are here.

has anyone thought about whats happening now? new generation of politicial leaders, new generation of citizens. many of my eligible friends have voted for the opposition parties, and just by looking at all the pictures of people going to O.P rallies amazes and scares me at the same time.

i live in a block that happens to belong to a walkover constituency (my family realised that couple of days ago) but the excitment can be felt just the next block away. we live in bukit panjang, and by geographical and logical reasoning, we belong to the bukit panjang constituency. ALAS, when we failed to receive our voting cards on 2nd may, we realised we are still stuck to the holland-bukit timah constituency.

i wish i really belonged in the holland-bukit timah area. then i wouldnt be living in a HDB flat with canto profanity-spouting, mop dripping, tatooed neighbours. the reason why holland bukit timah is a walkover? its HOLLAND and BUKIT TIMAH for Gods sake. how many singaporeans can truly afford a place there? zoe tay? fann wong?

why am i NOT in bukit panjang constituency when i still have to take the fucked up LRT and squeeze with the same smelly people who belong in it? not forgetting to mention how outraged my modesty has already become.

this is the first time i felt so strongly as a singaporean. finally something where everyone has a part in, where everyone has as much right as each other to make a decision that matters to everyone. this is perfect... democracy. that is what we have all pledged for the last 3 decades, every morning, in every school.

how many singaporeans have felt that they haf been living under a deteriorating government for the past 3 decades? i dont know, i dont want to be caught by the government and make a public apology and get jailed and having to pay fines for the rest of my life for defamation. but just look at the pple who went for the rallies and the cock ups that PAP made by accident.

they are not as steadfast as we thought they are. maybe they were. but they have been down on their guard for too long, and unable to recover when a sudden surge of pple who are desperate to improve things emerge. thats when u start to make mistakes of saying things wrongly, start sounding too arrogant more than enough for the public to notice.

after all, what do you new politicians know? how many of you dont drive a car and live in HDB and have to take the LRT to work every fucking day? how many of you come from average secondary schools and junior colleges? how many of you pass your time hanging out with friends to find the best local food in hawker centres? thats how many of the opposition politicians there are up there, who are more likely to relate to us common public, politicians who dont call others donkeys, selfish and cheaters.

that being said, its the time for us to make a decision, which in any choice we will change our future, slowly but surely. singapore's political scene may face a new revolution yet. good luck to all fellow singaporeans :)
