Nothing exciting except the GE
Have always wanted to continue writing here, but somehow I'm just too tired to do so. As mentioned, weekdays after work (+ after work activities) I'm always zonked out, so no energy to write anything here, and weekends it's for going out or for rest. As mentioned, there is nothing much exciting about life these days.
The 5 day work, 2 day rest thingy is just continuing, and I'm as lost in life as I was 9 months ago. Things to celebrate include: finally debt free, so I can slowly build up more finances; my back is way better than before; i'm in the last few months before I get a transfer (+ increment). But before all these, I have to do and finish some tough and outstanding work - really need to chiong.
One thing that got me exciting is of course the coming GE. I always wonder if most of my friends do care about it at all, such is the political climate here. I get some excitement reading news, views, policy debates online everyday, but I guess I'm still in the minority amongst my friends (really very, very sad). Our people are usually quiet and bochup about what goes on in our country, and only every 5 years, there's a chance for us to wake up from our slumber and start thinking a bit about our country's future.
Of course, for young people, most of the focus is on Tin Pei Ling and her suitability as a candiate - while I think this issue has diverted us from the really main issues in this GE, it offers a kickstart of people getting interested - what better way than to bitch? Young Singaporeans' favourite past time.
That said, I would like to offer some views with regards to this GE, but of course I'm not sure if anyone will care to read. As mentioned on the previous post, I would like to start with the title: Government: A more complicated concept than you think
