Politics are such interesting stuff. It seems like Singaporeans are not bothered unless it's gonna affect their life before they start to take note of what's happening. *shrugs*

There are definitely pple whom I really admire in the PAP and also from the Opposition Parties. *S*

Watched the News on Channel NewsAsia on TV tonight. I think political pple should be more aware of their body language. I think I need not say much if those who had watched Alvin Yeo presented his speech at Chua Chu Kang you will know what I mean.



Alvin Yeo (PAP candidate)

What the PAP says makes sense too. With this statement made by Steve Chia, it's definitely gonna put him at the losing end.

Extracted from Channel NewsAsia on 28 Apr 2006

SINGAPORE : A People's Action Party MP for Hong Kah GRC has questioned Singapore Democratic Alliance candidate Steve Chia's commitment to the residents.

Mr Alvin Yeo was speaking at a PAP rally in Chua Chu Kang on Friday.

Mr Yeo, whose PAP team secured a walkover in Hong Kah GRC, took issue with Mr Chia who has said he would quit politics if he loses this election.

He says: "Some may have read from interviews that Mr Steve Chia has said that if he loses this election, he will retire from politics. In an interview I read in yesterday's Wanbao, Mr Gan Kim Yong says even if he loses this election, he is still young, he is actually older than Mr Steve Chia, he is still young, he still has many opportunities to serve the residents of Chua Chu Kang.

"So I ask you dear friends, who would you rather have to serve your needs, someone who is going to quit after this elections if he doesn't win or someone who is going to stay the course for you. A quitter or a stayer?"

Worker's Party gives better responses to Gay Question! They definitely outdid PAP!
Of coz. Words are cheap. If things really happens, who knows reaction might be totally opp. from what they have told the press.


Extracted from The Electric New Paper on 26 Apr 2006 ( Day before Nomination Day)

BLUE is calm.

Blue is confidence.

And blue is the colour of the Workers' Party.

Fifteen new WP candidates were introduced over the past few days.
Decked out in sky-blue, they came across as calm, cool and confident.
Among the 15 is a lawyer, a union leader, even a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, a top US university.

Fielding questions from the media, they spoke confidently about their beliefs and plans.
Gone, it seems, is the era of opposition candidates heckling PAP politicians with loudhailers.
But aren't these WP newbies worried about facing off against the PAP? Why are they so confident?

Mr Yaw Shin Leong, 29, business analyst.

We posed this question to three of the 15 candidates.

Mr Eric Tan, 50, the general manager of a financial services company, laughs off the question.
'You have to be confident in the first place to join the opposition,' he said. But on a more serious note, the father of three daughters added: 'We are confident not because we think we will win. We are confident because we have a tremendous conviction in our beliefs.'

Ms Lee Wai Leng, 26, a businesswoman who runs her own translation company, said: 'We are a bunch of rationally-minded people. We are offering serious views on policies.' She's married with no children.

For Mr Yaw Shin Leong, a business analyst, the confidence can be summed up with a Mandarin idiom: 'You Bei Er Lai'. It means 'to come in prepared'.
The 29-year-old co-owns an e-business consultancy and is married with no children.
He said: 'We have prepared for five years and we have worked to the best of our abilities.'

Ms Lee Wai Leng, 26, businesswoman.
'We offer voters a choice and we will accept their decision,' Mr Tan said. 'Win or lose, our convictions won't change.'

Q Why should I risk upgrading because of you?

Mr Yaw: If voters only want upgrading, then vote for the PAP. Don't vote for us. But if they have a sense of justice and want things to be better, then vote for the Workers' Party.

Mr Tan: You will not be risking upgrading by voting for us. If we win a GRC, the PAP will not dare to ostracise a GRC. They will want to win it back. And we will want to retain it. So you will get your upgrading.

Ms Lee: Voting is not just about upgrading. It is also about checks and balances. We should not be too materialistic. There is more to life than upgrading.

Q Talk is easy. What are you prepared to sacrifice for your beliefs?

Mr Yaw: I will give my life. I believe in national defence and I will fight for my homeland if need be.

Mr Tan: I don't call them sacrifices because I am happy to strive for my ideals.

Ms Lee: It would be my monetary sacrifice. If you compare me to my friends, I won't be embarrassed to tell you I'm the poorer one. But if I'm not going to do it, who will? If you want to be in politics for the long haul, you will have to put in the time and commitment.

Q What did your family and friends say when you told them you were joining the opposition?

Mr Yaw: They were shocked. Even my best buddies didn't expect it even though I was involved in student politics before. But I told them there there are issues that needed to be addressed. And then they supported me.

Mr Tan: Some were supportive and some were not. People have grown used to the system and they have their own loyalties. And then there's the fear among civil servants.

Ms Lee: My family reacted calmly and coolly. They are the traditional type so silence actually means consent. My friends were surprised because they thought that people our age would be more interested in our careers.

Q If you want to change policies, wouldn't it make more sense to join the PAP where the chances of you pushing through your notion is higher?

Mr Yaw: Even company audits are subject to external checks, right? The best system is really a balance between the internal and the external. It is hard to change things from the inside.

Mr Tan: I joined the opposition because of my character. The PAP's role is more administrative. It takes a top-down approach. The opposition's role is in creating value and helping the political system evolve. Ours is a partnership approach.

Ms Lee: You make a more active contribution in opposition politics. Changes that come from within the system are usually just cosmetic. Here at the Workers' Party, we do not do cosmetic changes. Even if the system needs an overhaul, we will do it.

Q What is the most outrageous thing you have ever done?

Mr Yaw: Completing 26 blocks in a walkabout in one day! It took twelve hours straight. It was crazy.

Mr Tan: While backpacking as a student, I attended this rock concert in Barcelona in front of a grand cathedral. We were young, we were drunk, the sky was blue and we were happy. We slept on park benches until the police chased us away in the morning.

Ms Lee: When I was in NUS, I once went for two days and two nights without sleep. I was rushing two essays for my Sociology class. I never knew that I had the stamina to do such things until then! But I did it by keep gulping down cups of tea.

Q If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

Mr Yaw: To be able to be at many different places at one time. There are so many things I want to get done!

Mr Tan: I want to speak many, many languages because I want to reach out to people.

Ms Lee: I want to know all the languages of the world. Languages help you cross barriers. When you learn the language of a country, you find out about their culture and understand their history.

Q If your son told you one day he was gay, what would you do?

Mr Yaw: There would definitely be silence at first. I'd need to absorb the shock. But then, I'd tell him: 'Son, I know you know best.'

Mr Tan: I would accept it. In any case, I shouldn't be shocked if he is my son. I am not a blind parent.

Ms Lee: I would accept it because I encourage diversity. To me, it is just another sexual orientation and it is nothing to be ashamed of.

Q Do you think the Progress Package was a form of electioneering? If so, what are you doing with your share?

Mr Yaw: Incumbent MPs will not admit it is electioneering but I do. I received $500 and I donated all of it to the Workers' Party because I believe in it.

Mr Tan: If the opposition did not exist, would we have received the Progress Package? I received about $1,000 or less. I am thinking of giving it to charity.

Ms Lee: If it is not electioneering, why would they give it out just before the elections? I received $600. I will combine it with the $900 my husband received and buy a laptop for our translation business. I did not think about rejecting the money because if the Government wants to give, why not keep it?

Q Among world leaders, who's your hero?

Mr Yaw: You don't need to look outside of Singapore. I admire J B Jeyaretnam. After so many years, he is still here. He's a stayer, not a quitter.

Mr Tan: Pope John Paul II. He lost his family when he was 18 or 19 and grew up poor. You would think that he would be angry and bitter at life and at God. But he was not. I was touched by it.

Ms Lee: I admire Aung San Suu Kyi. She stands up for what she believes in even though she knows how tough it is going to be.

The Secret Language of Sleep: ACouple's Guide to the Thirty-Nine Positions

My Position: Excalibur

Excalibur Traits and Tendencies: Excalibur couples may battle just as much as other couples (and participate in more than their fair share of public huffs), but they look so good together, it outweighs any other definiencies they may share. It isn't that they're classically good-looking, or similarly sized (though certainly both those pairings are permissible). It's more that the aesthetic chord they strike satisfies in profound ways. Like gorgeously plated food or song filled with unusual harmonies, the wan and freckled hand in hand with the tragically tan, the pigeon-toed with the duck walkers, these Excalibur couples achieve such perfection in their pairing that reminds the world that anything is possible.

Comfort Zone: Excalibur is in the Wind pose family. Other Wind poses you might enjoy include Softserve Swirl and The Ventriloquist.

Health Note: An unexpected rash or orthopedic adjustment can sometimes lead an Excalibur couple to fall out of balance. Physical adjustments may need to be made, or entirely new pose could even be in order.

Flowers given by my Sophian Didi outside Why Not



Bro & my sis-in-law, Peiling (pic taken by me)



Alex aka ecity & me

Went clubbing on sat nite @ Why Not. Jansen & Ronnie were spinning. They did great but it seems like the crowd still prefers songs like Top 40.

It is Joel's VERGIN trip to the club. He looks a bit overwhelmed. The crowd was too much on the dance floor. End up we all went up to the podium to dance! Boy! haahaa tat was my VERGIN dance on the podium. At least it's away from the crowd. Danced for bout 1.5hrs. Saw Sophian walking out of the club. I went after him. Talk to him for a while, do some catching up before I went back in. This time i'm back on the dance floor instead. Dance with Ian and Ant.

Marcus came and forced me to take half a glass of screwdriver. Next thing I know, Mark came down with Ben. Damn! Someone made him drink. He's out! Hmm... I thot this time I'm dead! How am I gonna get him home. Well he recovered eventually. Thank God. Ben's so funny when he is drunk. He keeps laughing non-stop. He is kinda cute initially. Soon it gets so irritating I felt like slapping him! lol but he is unable to control his laughter. At closing time he is almost sober. Great! He remembers he wants Bee Hoon. We were lucky to be able to find bee hoon at maxwell. Me and Ben were so happy. We were so hungry after clubbing. We ate and talked till 6am and we decided that we got to leave to catch some rest.

Joel thot that Ian was my boyfriend. Commented that we were so loving! *L* We have always been loving like bro and sis. I guess these 2 sentences given were planning to find out if Ian's gay or straight lol finally he commented that Ian's cute. There! I knew it lol!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Sunday, Bro had his ROM. It was a short but a pretty nice ceremony. Arriving on a yatch coming in thru the jetty. He took my digi cam and gave it to one of his gal fren to take the picture. But it's not exactly well taken. I could not stand it. Just had to get the cam back and snap a few shots for them.

It's nice to see him finally get married. This is only the beginning of their journey. I sincerely wish them enjoying their unity forever.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex is in Singapore. Finally come back here after 2 years. Called me this afternoon saying that tomorrow is his last evening here in Singapore and he wish to spend time with his family before returning back to UK on the way stopping at Shanghai. Decided to meet up with him tonite instead. I invited Ben along too at the same time to keep me company before Alex arrived.

We had an enjoyable time talking bout the stuff on the forum, racial harmony, politics and our childhood days. Robert seems so soft spoken compared to Alex who is the chatty one. Both are nice pple. Hope to interact more with them when they are back here in SG and with their time less packed.

Phoenyx & me

Had dinner with Phoenyx last nite. Had never interacted with him at this level of communication. It was good. Tho I can't say we know a lot about each other but I can confidently says that we know where we stand at certain levels, our style of handling stuff and how we view certain situation. Have a strong feeling that me and him are pretty similiar when it comes to choosing our partner. Both of us prefer to a more down to earth partner. Someone who can give us security. Someone we can depend on. But we are pretty domineering in life. Had a long long talk with him. Glad to know tat he has changed and he would definitely be a better partner to his special someone someday. I guess age and muturity certainly changed pple.

It's always good to have a simple dinner, coffee and followed by a nice chat. Definitely better than just clubbing the nite away.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She called again. Telling me things mostly which I had not done. I'm really beginning to wonder where did she get information from. Info she tells me, some are true to a certain extend and info which only a few pple know.

She has no wish to tell me where she get the info from and I have no wish to dig it out from her. Whoever is feeding her with the wrong info I wish the person good luck. What goes ard comes ard and it always seems now tat karma comes fast. You will kena even before you knew it coming.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ex-Dear Dear No. 2 msg me again very very late last nite. I really do not understand what is it tat he misses so much of what we did last time. Have spoken to him to be more vocal and out to his current girl but I guess maybe the ego part of him is still very strong. I can only say tat you can only get tat much if you are going to keep quiet about it.

Give a dinner treat to a fren for his belated birthday. After dinner he sent me home. WOAH! He really go get himself a new BMW the latest model! The sound system is great. Errrmmmm....Why some pple so rich one???

He had an album playing in his car. It's chinese jazz. The title of the album is "High Society Shanghai Divas" It's fantastic but he says can't be found just anywhere. Anyway I dun care lol I ask him to buy for me.

Hmm... maybe go see wat gothic stuff I can get for sat. *grinz*

Phoenyx ask to to accompany him to his fren's birthday party this sat. Theme: Gothic! wah lao! I've got nothing to wear lol! Anyway he also got nothing gothic to wear. Dun care just turn up in anything.

Hmm... dunno his frens but well as usual play by the ear. Besides I'm used to meeting strangers. Hope everything goes well. One more thing... I'm excited. He's bringing along a reptile fren *grinz*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm... ex dear dear called. Guess he is bored. Told him how Phoenyx looked like him and errm...Phoenyx having more hair than him hahaa trust him to tell me I've dropped something. As usual... lol!

Still as funny as ever.

Well he is good! Hit the nail on the head. With one guess he knew exactly wat I named my blog =) if you are reading it, I still think you know me best but too bad... good things didn't really last long huh? *wink*

Me and my darling Miki



Phoenyx & Piglet



Piglet & Miki still at each other's throat!

Got burnt yesterday. Had a great day at Sentosa. Phoenyx brought his Piglet while I brought Miki. Both girls could not get along. Piglet is almost 3 times the size of Miki. She wanted to play but Miki felt threatened. I understand but I've also got to make Miki understand tat Piglet meant no harm. She is just a fren too. I guess Miki only gets along well with humans but not her own kind.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got a call from her yesterday. Pestering me regarding her book. I had enuff. When I reach home from Sentosa, I was already so damn tired. I had to force myself just to bring everything of hers back to her. I have no wish to get entangled with her much longer.

Reach her place at 9.30pm and waited for her till 10.30pm yet I could not get my stuff back. She got so paranoid tat I would bring someone along. Went to her kitchen window to take photos of some guy waiting downstairs thinking tat he was waiting for me. Went off to check out the corridor and staircase to make sure I brought no one. Wasting all these time but just could not get my stuff out for me. Sigh... @ 10.30 she told me to wait another half an hour. I agreed but she still kept showing me attitude saying the door is open. I can leave anytime I want. If my "fren" can't wait I'm free to leave. Saying tat I better dun give her attitude I've no rights in her hse. I could stand it no more. I just had to leave. Picked up my bag and wat ever little stuff she had returned me and I just leave. On the way out my bag accidentally knocked over her neighbour's potted plant. She told me off saying that wat right have I got to come over and create a riot over at her place. I can't be bothered to explain.

She followed me and ask me not to do this again. Ask me to wait and go back to her place again. WTF! One moment you are telling me I'm free to leave if I can't wait. The next moment you are asking me to wait? Anyway on my way down I saw the "fren" she mentioned. Was I lucky or wat? The gf of that guy appeared and they went off on his bike. Fuck man! Where's her brain? Would I come in a 40l backpack returning her stuff and on a bike? It's not as if I do not have frens who are driving! She had seen for herself and knew she was wrong. Giving me stupid reason saying she was confused.

On my way home she followed. Telling me I must be real happy now that I've made the thing big. The fella at her place now was someone recommanded by one of her student's mum. Oh...well now she knows how it feels like. I gave her back her own words. "what's there to worry about? It's your PERFORMANCE tat counts and not your sexuality" Now I really hope she knows how it feels. But I really doubt so coz she insisted tat it's still different. Maybe and Maybe not. I can't be bothered explaining further.

She called. Now thinking i'm having ONS with someone. She thinks someone close to me stole my phone. She tells me she suspected I didn't really lose my phone. I just reported lost and cancel my line just to put up a show for her. I'm tired. Everything I do everything tat happened to me I would have some intention or motive.

She wanted to meet me for a drink to return my bikini? I dunno wat to say. Next she tells me she needs her book back urgently. Needs me to mail it back to her. Her fren wanted to borrow it from her. How urgent can it get? sigh.

She begs me to spare her. I really need her to spare me more than she needs me to spare her.

I dun have anyone in mind I wanna date. I dun even feel if I wanna get involved with anyone romantically. Phobia in relationship. Phobia in marriage.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She called telling me my life is spilling all over everyone elses life. I'm sorry but it's really beyond my control.

I'm sorry to let you worry the whole morning today.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caught a movie with Phoenyx & colleague. "Take the Lead" It's a fantastic show. It makes me have a total new perspective of ballroom dancing. I think I'm gonna go get the sound track and the DVD. Hmm... making me feel like taking up ballroom dancing classes.

During dinner tonite, I've discovered something. Something which is so so unbelievable. Phoenyx looks like my ex. So so so much alike. His side profile, his ways of making me laugh, his behaviour. He even dance like him! He doesn't drink and smoke like him too. But thats besides the point. Maybe tats why I'm feeling so comfortable ard him. the feeling of something so familiar. He is a nice person to be with. But Phoenyx is definitely someone more down to earth than my ex. Thank God.

PHOENYX



Me & Best Fren

Lady Summer is bestowed on me by a newly found fren of mine. Well, I'll call him Phoenyx. Found this Lady Summer rather cute so I guess I'll just decided to name my blog Lady Summer. He has been a great fren indeed. Stuff he told ditchdog he would do for me...I'm glad to have them both to keep me afloat during this difficult time of mine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm rather sad today. Read an old blog of my best fren. I dun go reading pple's blog. Never had the habit. I really wonder what I've done the last time. I swear... I've never ever tried putting any doubts upon your loved one. I'm hurt... truely very hurt when I learnt about how you felt when I saw you blogging tat I'm putting you down and things I've said you termed as nasty. I've never meant it that way. You know I really never meant it tat way. I really wish you well from the bottom of my heart. I had said wat I mean. When I broke off with Henry you told me tat you'll kill Henry for me if I had asked you too. I really gave you all my heart where the frenship is. I've also told you I'll stick by you no matter wat happens. I'll go to the end of the world for you even if I had to.

Maybe we never did understand each other tat all. But we are so different yet so similiar in many ways. Believe me I would never put myself on a pedestal like you have said and put you down in any ways. You are someone whom I've always looked up upon.

I'm hurt. I could never imagine you had really tried to put doubts into my loved one. Honestly I do not blame you. I could never blame you. I could only blame myself *deep sigh*

I do treasure our frenship. I'll try to clear the misunderstanding with her this sat. I really hope tat nothing nasty would happen. I really do not wish to lose a fren whom we had lost contact for so long and finally found each other and we are gonna be lost again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sorry Baby...I didn't trust what you've told me. But even so....We just could not salvage our relationship.
