You're so quiet
But it doesn't faze me
You're on time
You move so fast
Makes me feel lazy

And let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burnt
But every fire is a lesson learnt

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

Lets tie words
'Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you've found
But you found me
On a screen you sit at permanently

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would, I would, I would, I would

It's time to come clean and make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you

PM Lee sets up committee to review ministerial pay

why must they set up a committee to do tt when any fool can tell you that 1.5million/annum is WAAAY too much. don't try to buy time lah; start by cutting the current pay by half, THEN have a committee review from there.

i've just had a random flashback:

i am six years old. i'm sitting on the floor of the living room/recreation room/bedroom in the bedok court apartment of a kindergarten classmate, jeremy. it's his birthday party and there are a few other kids sitting with me. we're all facing a huge tv screen, playing a computer/tv spelling game. we are asked to spell pumpkin. i spell p u m k i n. and then a boy sitting near me retorts it's p u m P k i n. you don't know how to spell pumpkin??

my first reaction was to chide myself for not being able to spell a bloody fruit. then, i quietly grew indignant; am i supposed to know how to spell pumpkin? how the fuck am i spposed to spell something i've never eaten or touched in my whole fucking life anyway.

stupid yayahead boy. lucky for the bastard i can't remember his face. nabei.

i've always had a quiet respect for george yeo. i don't really know why. i'm pretty sure it's not because he's catholic and i'm catholic. i dunno.. he just seems like a nice guy. and over the years, all the things he's reportedly said in the media has been, well... nice and palatable. you know, not like self-righteous or over zealous. i remember shaking his hand in 1997, when i was at aunty june's hse getting ready for sch and he was doing some walkabout thing. i didn't detect anything on my asshole-detecting radar back then. recently, at the early stages of the election season ths yr, i read some article where he was asked bout contesting against some fella (can't remember who) and he said tt they were friends and tt he respected him (or something to tt effect). i can't recall wat he said but i remember thinking, george yeo is a man of integrity and humility; i totally respect him for not putting on airs or seming pretentious and lame.

oh i remember when we did some gig for the easter funfair at nativity and george yeo was there with his white peeps. i was up on stage singing and i remember secretly hoping tt in between showing his non-churchy friends round the fair, he was also noticing our music and thinking to himself: wow, this band is pretty good. haha. i dunno why it seemed to matter to me.

i don't hink it's just me who's feeling these 'nice guy' vibes. even my driving instructor who's an avid wp supporter from aljunied grc told me he feels genuinely bad for voting against george yeo. says tt his family and george yeo's family come from the same village in china and he's met george yeo's china relatives before and they're decent folks. i guess this is why aljunied is in such a pickle. there this really semangat bunch from an underdog party with moral conscience and then there's the nice guy and some other pple from the incumbent snob party. sporeans feel bad because they have a heart, but i guess pple worry tt voting for you and showing their love will not pay off cos we know company you work for isn't likely to reciprocate the love when it starts implementing policies.

i feel sorry for you too, george. i'm gonna be voting for the love of my country, not for out of sympathy for you. pritam singh really spoke for me when he said you're a good man who just happens to be in the wrong party. i wonder if you knew all the while wat you said needed to be done today- tt the pap needs to learn to listen before rationalising with dissenters, tt it needs change from within. if you had known this before i wish, for your sake, tt you had the courage to say it earlier. unfortunately, though i trust tt you are genuinely believe in this need for change, but i'm not convinced your comrades truly share tt sentiment.

i know we haven't even cast our votes yet but the suspense of waiting to find out the results is killing me.

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.
