Post General Election
Once again, there is loads of homework that I have left undone. There are my language arts essential questions, language arts task 3, some idiotic Chinese composition the bitch gave to us, two newspaper reports which I owe the bitch and some social studies question that I have yet to answer. Yes, I’m procrastinating again, and come to think of it, I have been slacking off ever since the March holidays. Never for once since school reopened in term two have I put any effort into any of my work at all. I barely study for tests, I’d rather go to school to copy homework and when I get home from school, I spent the rest of the night watching the television or using the computer. This has got to stop. I have decided that from tomorrow onwards, there is going to be some drastic changes in my life.
First of, there is the whole diet regime that I am trying to implement. Technically, the main goal isn’t to lose the weight as of yet, moreover, it is the saving of cash that I am more interested in. Secondly, I am planning to be more serious about my work, judging by the fact that I am sick and tired of failing or just barely passing my different subjects.
Of course, this may all seem like big talk now, and it will be hard to actually carry out all that I have set for myself to do. However, I am going to try, or at least that’s what I am telling myself now.
I feel very much disengaged from the Singapore politics, like I am part of the unthinking mass or something. No, that would be an understatement. I fear that I might even be worse than the unthinking mass. I don’t know what GRC or whatever the hell it’s called that my district is under. I don’t know the parties that are running. [Besides PAP, Worker’s Party and some Singapore Democratic Party] I don’t know who won. I don’t know anything! This is why I actually took the initiative to ask my parents about the on goings today.
I found out that my family is under East coast GRC. Apparently PAP won 82 out of the 84 seats or 84 out of the 86 seats. Whichever way, they only lost two seats to the opposition parties. One seat went to the Worker’s Party and another went to the Singapore Democratic Party or something like that. (Okay, turns out that I really do not know my Singapore politics, the opposition party is actually called the Singapore Democratic Alliance) The guy who won the seat from Worker’s party had some weird name that Darren mentioned yesterday and I am assuming he is the leader of the Worker’s party. Yup, this is all I know and I believe it is still very little.
I watched the news and saw the different parties going around the different neighborhoods to thank the residents for supporting them. Hah! How fake is that? If you noticed, they only went to housing boards and decided to steer clear from condominiums and private housing. What’s that suppose to represent? That they feel that they should show more appreciation for the poorer people or something? It’s probably all done for the sake of publicity, like oh my gosh I actually saw some guy ruffling the hair of some child. How cliché.
I have run out of things to blog about. Hence, I will end this entry with the analogy I thought on the bus on my way home the other day with Audrey and Darren. I don’t really know the name of the monk so he shall thus forth be known as the monk. They are the characters from the story “Journey to the East West”. [I think ><’’] [Omg, my chinese is terrible. I thought
西游记 is east!]
The monk: Chia Yvonne
Because she is the one who can’t bear the killing of ants, like the monk in the show, whereby he made his horse walk around a trail of ants so as not to harm any living creature.
Sun Wu Kong: YY
Equally twitchy, the monk also wields power over Sun Wu Kong whether he likes it or not.
Zhu Ba Jie: Me
Need I say more? Equally greedy, fat, ugly and lazy, it's an exact replica.
Sha Si [I don’t really know the Han yu pin yin]: Audrey Lim According to the high self esteemed one, equally slow, which is to a certain extent true, when it comes to expressing oneself.
