So I haven't blogged.

Well, I guess there are people who still read and want to know what am I up to these days. So where do I start. At current, I'm lying on my tummy on my single-sized bed waiting for my hair to dry.
If you're from UB and wondering where have I been hiding in school so far, well, I'm not due to start school until Independence Day. So in my free time, I'm employed as a temp at PeopleSearch. It's a headhunting agency. No, I'm not sourcing for people to fill positions. My job's pretty boring. A mere data entry girl. That's enough of work.

I'm dating again. Seeing someone for sure. I'll only spill more here when things are a little more stable or serious. All I can say, he is someone that does not exactly fall into my dating history. A surprise for sure. Pleasant or not, I have yet to find out. Fingers crossed.

I'm one crazy bitch.

I thought I would be able to survive mundane despite all the crap load of stories on data entry jobs. Apparently, I can't. I'm just like everybody else. Well. I'll tender as soon as I have stayed there for a month. So it's about time to look for a new job! Or focus my energy on writing and freelancing. The latter does seem nice. Hmmmmmmm. Now where's that calendar?

Mixed feelings.

Back from Butter and I'm having mixed feelings about the results of the General Elections. We'll start with the good. For the first time ever, we have another voice in parliament representing a Group Representation Constituency. Yay to that. I'm excited to hear what Chen Show Mao, Pritam Singh and Low Thia Khiang can do in parliament. Can they kill Mah Bow Tan down on cheaper flats? Please do. I'm so counting on that.

The bad. We have lost Chiam See Tong, George Yeo, and gained Tin Pei Ling. Sigh. Losing Chiam See Tong as the 3rd alternative voice does suck. Uncle Chiam has served Potong Pasir for many years. As mentioned before, I grew up overlooking the drama at Potong Pasir. Hearing the drama from my primary school classmates living there etc. My parents even lived there in a rented room for awhile before getting a flat in Serangoon. In fact, I kinda lived there as an infant too. Hence my sentiments towards Uncle Chiam.

While we have gained a good opposition in parliament, we have also lost a sincere minister. I daresay George Yeo is one of the better ministers in the cabinet, considering the crappy ones like Mah Bow Tan and Wong Kan Seng. I rather keep George Yeo and remove Mah Bow Tan. However, during his campaign, I do find him trying a little too hard to gain support. Oh well. What's done is done. I can only wish him all the best.

As for little girl Tin, all I can say is, "Good luck to Marine Parade." You seriously can forget about requesting for sheltered walkways or upgraded lifts. What can a associate from Ernest & Young do for you? In fact, what does she even know? Being a daughter of coffee shop owners actually somewhat equates to "ah sia kia". Translated - Rich man's kid. It is after all family business. Yes, it may be strenuous, but who hasn't done such work before? I know I have. In fact, I was born into a middle-class family. So you want to talk to me about hardship? Go talk to your Kate Spades. -.-

Well, Singapore, you have voted. So for now, we'll all have to live with our consequences for the next 5 years until the 2016 General Elections again.

GE Predictions.

Casted my vote. Now the wait to see who rules where. Well, frankly speaking, I have been rather chalked up with exam preparations, I am kinda slightly off with my information. But I thought a prediction might be fun.

As like everyone's talking about, this GE is definitely a watershed one. With Lee Kuan Yew being old and frail, PAP's power, I dare say, has taken a set back.

Well, back to the predictions.

PAP will get :
  • Ang Mo Kio GRC
  • Choa Chu Kang GRC
  • East Coast GRC
  • Holland-Bukit Timah GRC
  • Jurong GRC
  • Moulmein-Kallang GRC
  • Nee Soon GRC
  • Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC
  • Sembawang GRC
  • Tampines GRC
  • West Coast GRC
  • Bukit Panjang SMC
  • Yuhua SMC
WP to win:
  • Aljunied GRC
  • Hougang SMC
  • Joo Chiat SMC
  • Punggol East SMC
  • Sengkang West SMC
SPP to win:
  • Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC
  • Hong Kah SMC
  • Potong Pasir SMC
NSP to win:
  • Mountbatten SMC

Well, the rest of the Constituencies, I have some other stuff in mind. I'll begin with Aljunied GRC. Having to live so near to Aljunied GRC and been to WP's first rally, I have a strong feeling that George Yeo will lose his position as Foreign Affairs Minister. No doubt George Yeo is one of the better ministers in the cabinet, however, the other candidates in the PAP team do seem a little questionable. Personally, I don't have a good impression of Lim Hwee Hua. Despite being the first female minister, seriously what has she done? Her voice in the cabinet does seem muted by all the testosterone talk. On top of that, WP's team is strong. Apart from Low Thia Khiang and Sylvia Lim, there's the really eloquent Pritam Singh. With him in parliament, Tharman will have competition in the speech department. Then there's also Chen Show Mao. If you haven't realized this, there are a lot of Singaporean PRCs living in the Aljunied GRC area. Smart move on Low Thia Khiang.

Marine Parade GRC. Sigh. I lived there for 15 years. I'm really disappointed this time. I like SM Goh. But I hate Tin Pei Ling. And today we hear about her nonsense toward NSP. Seriously the Elections board should take action. Who would want a MP in jail or having a criminal record? She should have stuck to her Kate Spade bag.

Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC. Half of my childhood was spent at TPY. On top of that I went to school there too. And besides that, living in Joo Seng for 15 years made be observe Chiam See Tong's Potong Pasir from afar. He fought for the MRT station there and so many other rights for the residents there. He deserves TPY. Wong Gan Seng did make a grave mistake with the Mas Selamat case. Instead of owning up, he did a Tai-chi. Seriously. Would he even bother to handle TPY residents' feedback seriously? I highly doubt so.

These are my predictions for GE 2011 lah. It's not the definite results. Plus I just thought I join in the GE fun.
