Election Fever

like oh my gawd the drama of this election....

My whole FB is bombarded by all these election videos, shout outs, blog updates etc. Quite the boring actually... I should be excited since its my 1st vote in 32 years but seriously not keen. 1st I don't even know what my constituency is... the government makes it so complicated. Am I Punggol East or Punggol Pasir Ris? Why cannot just Punggol?

I used to advocate change, thinking change is good. But sadly to say my 1 chance in my flying days that I took trouble to vote, made me realized that change is not exactly the way to go. 11 years I started flying and it was the Best Airline in the World and recently it became Asia Leading Airline... like WTF? At the time I felt it was time to let the old guards go, for the only had minds for a certain quadrant and neglected  the rest. So it was time to move on... alas I tell you... My work life went downhill together.  Why? When a system is in place for 40-50 over years and if you do want to change.. you end up sacrificing loads! I swear loads!!!!!! Its always a butter trade... I want more money for inflight allowance, I swap with the 4 stars hotel to 3 stars... this is one great example. Of course there is a long list but I will not go into details. A change of new guards usually is all issues of money, but isn't it the way to go?  Seriously nope.

That day I spoke to my girlfriend and she told me its not about the system, we have to work around the system. Which brought me to think.... most people who are up there, or are not concerned what the government implements because they have already worked around the system or rather is fast enough to think around it. Those who are ranting most are those whom I shall say have not. Yes I do agree that there are some old guards in our current system that should move on, but nevertheless... have you seen the quality of the oppositions? With the exceptions of a few that I truly respect for their passion, the rest were *rolls eyes. Yes I agree that there is a new fresh face which impressed me much, but if you go into detail about what is said, Its empathy that is her strength... then you compare with the other "fresh" face , she honestly have all formulas wrong. She annunciates terribly, shows a wrong body language half the time, basically "kiam pa" face. People like that cannot be in politics, you need a pleasant face to garner votes. This statement by the way applies to some opposition males which seems to be unruly when they talk. hahhahaha

Then people go into details about floods, YOG, Mas... that is yes.. complacency. Then housing issues are just personal choices, My parents bought their place in Bishan 20 freaking years ago for $190k++, now its worth $450k ++, that is a good thing right? But the whole world is complaining about no houses, I have friends who wants to but a flat that this and that place coz near town, no cte, no pie (aka no jams to deal with ), must have mrt, shopping centre.. and wants it less than $300k. Eh seriously? Ermm, I moved to Punggol because I worked around the system. Trust me I almost gave up.... but at the end. Whats wrong with being at the end of the nel line? I take CTE , PIE.. in fact I have to take all the expressways in the Singapore to reach anywhere.

Yes the only issue that bother me is the baby one.. but does that stop me from having one? No la... my goodness. If I chose to use government regulations to decide my life .. no point living.

I do however will give my constituency all parties a try... hear them out. But I do hope the few opposition gets it... those truly deserve to have a voice BUT not because you are upset with the system and wants to vote otherwise.  If those I see on TV fighting amongst themselves, betraying each other or bringing nonsensical issues to fight for or basically can see they are just stirring shit.. (which by the way alot of them) win and then I "Will faint will faint.."
