i haven't been posting much cos i've been nursing a bout of election fever. it keeps me awake at night, with my head in the papers or glued to my swivel chair in front of my laptop, trying to sort out the days' events and the who's who and who said wat about whom and goodness wat else have you.

apparently, ng eng hen said, "Did the opposition bring us from a 3rd world to a 1st world country?"

i suppose he means that it was pap that has seen the country through its brisk and drastic development and to this i would agree. but i would like to ask: wasn't the party itself part of "the opposition" before singaporeans (or wat were to be singaporeans) dared to give them their vote of confidence?


GCT said in an ST article the day before (in response to a student's qn bout LKY's 'repent' remark): "i am not sure (MM Lee) fully understood the religious connotations of the word 'repent' because very often we use it in a secular sense."

I have read this statement like a dozen times and i'm not quite sure wat the fuck he's gg on bout. does he actually mean to say tht the word is often used only in religious contexts? or am i missing something? perhaps i need to be enlightened.

right next to the article from which i got the above quote, there is a box called "Zainul's match-ups", which features some pap fellas comparisons of his own party's candidates against those from wp. seriously, ST... do we really need to know this shit? and it's not as if any fool cannot already figure out wat zainul is gonna say. yes, yes, you think your comrades are fucking fab and that WP pple are damn incompetent and dodgy. gee, i TOTALLY wasn't expecting tt. i could have saved tt 20x35cm column with my series of bao jokes instead. call me naive, but i really didn't think ST was capable of being so brazenly partisan. and guys, could you get even more redundant??!! tsk. bloody pillocks.

ok no more time. i would just like to mention also tt i was quite disppointed with the performance of nsp's tampins team last night (4 may). i had wished, for all sporeans' sakes tt they would show a bit more coherence and gumption apart from suan-ing MBT (whose comments of late have proven him to be quite thick, any hoo).

okok no more procrastinating, amelia. move on.
