friday saw a huge drama in office. they were debating why the current performance for the agents, me especially, is so poor compared to the previous year. a colleague of mine got upset and stormed our of the office. alot of questions were left answered. answers given were super grey, super vague. Nothing is a Yes or No. Suggestions were given but not accepted and some were even casually brushed off.
fast forward to today, the monday after, something funny happened. i was waiting for cheryl at the lift lobby and little miss TM was waiting for mr DTM with me at the lobby. there was such an awkward silence! hahahahahaha! what was that for? i thought you emphasised professionalism? doesn't professionalism mean work=work and off hours=off hours? why after that evening the attitude was like some primary school kid. "you ate my candy, so i'm not gonna be friends with you." i had to initiate the conversation you know! omg! ME! the 23 year old!
hahah anyway, let's see how long this upholds. on the bright side, they're not pushy with the figures. ^^

So, you think the PAP are morons??? Think again.. Please everybody; cool down.. Saw this recent article somewhere: Heard this from a reliable source amongst the highest echelons of the PAP. The PAP was well aware that Aljunied is a risky pr...oposition for them. This was clear even in 2006 and G —-just scraped through.
The PAP also knew that this time LTK is going to contest the Aljunied GRC, especially after the electoral boundaries were redrawn. They had factored that in and they knew that Aljunied is a goner in that case. There was apparently considerable thinking to move G—-to East Coast GRC so that his success is guaranteed. This was mooted by GCT It carried through the day and apparently G—-was also sure that he would be moved to East Coast. Suddenly for no apparent reason, Lim Swee Say was moved to East Coast GRC and G—-was retained at Aljunied. Apparently the decision was taken by LHL, TCH and WKS. No one knows the rationale for that decision.
There are 2 theories going around: One, they didn’t want to sacrifice Lim Swee Say and wanted a safe seat for him. Second, some sections in the PAP believed that G—-was gaining international stature (much more than the PM himself) and wanted to cut down his size. He was also considered to be GCT’s man and LHL wanted him out respectably. One should also note that it is only GCT who is making statements supporting G—-.
LHL is conspicuous by his silence on GCT. LKY’s threat to Aljunied residents (leaving residents confused as per G—-, while causing more Aljunied residents to be frustrated & vote for Workers’ Party) is actually sounding the death knell for G—-(and do S’poreans still think that LKY is old & senile?). So, PAP wants G—-to lose. LTK has questioned the rally attendees that if G—-is so important to the PAP team, why doesn’t G—-be removed from Aljunied GRC.
If this has even some truth to it, one can easily speculate that there’s enough dissent even within PAP ranks and one just has to wait for Mentor Lee to exit for the dissent to come out in the open. They have given up on Aljunied and Hougang. What’s next for G—-? Could he stand for the coming President election? Or hop on in another high profile job in the civil service? You draw your own conclusion.
So, you think the PAP are morons??? Think again..
PAP is using Tin Pei Ling as test-water (as a young candidate). In GE2016, the most exciting moment is the arrival of Li ShengWu (elder son of Lee Hsien Yang), LKY grandson and he should be 28 years old by then to continue the process of dynasty building…
Other possible candidates in 2016:
1. Li HonYi (elder son of LHL/Ho Ching) Li was apparently being groomed for a future leadership role after being awarded a government scholarship to study economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (in 2008). The Singapore military has served as a training ground for political leaders and executives in state companies.
2. Teo Eng Siang (son of Teo Chee Hean) Singapore pays S$280,825 for tuition for Teo’s son –Teo Eng Siang was awarded a Public Service Commission Scholarship in a public ceremony by his own daddy, Singapore Admiral and Minister Teo Chee Hean. Young Teo now(2008) heads for the United States where he will be attending Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Brown University is a fashionable Ivy Leage school and has a huge annual tuition of US$42,303, or US$169,202 (S$280,825) for the full four years. Don’t you think there are needier students in Singapore?
3.Warren Mah, son of Mah Bow Tan, Singapore’s Minister for National Development, is living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is on a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
This is Politics (Singapore Politics i should think), it’s not as simple as we ordinary folks out there to comprehend precisely. The PAP do have contingency and far-sight plans ahead. .

the Singapore General Elections just past by..
last saturday was polling day for all singaporeans. i was especially excited this year because firstly, i got to vote! and secondly, the hype was really great! it was like damn hardcore! of the 87 seats in parliament, 82 are being contested! that's like a first for singapore!
basically in the singapore political arena, there is one domineering party, the People's Action Party, and a few other oppositions. The popular ones this year were the Worker's Party, the National Solidarity Party and the SPP, i dunno what that means though but it has Mr Chiam See Tong as the Chairman. He's really popular!
so anyway, for you people out there, i'll list the results out below.
Mountbatten went to the PAP
Bukit Panjang went to the PAP
Radin Mas went to the PAP
Whampoa went to the PAP
Moulmein - Kallang went to the PAP. This was a really close fight.
Joo Chiat went to the PAP
Hong Kah North went to the PAP
Marine Parade went to the PAP. This was one of the areas under the brightest spotlights ever because NSP's Nicole Seah was contesting in this area against PAP's Goh Chok Tong.
Hougang went to the WP. i.e. Hougang remained status quo.
Pasir Ris - Punggol went to the PAP. Sigh....
Tampines went to the PAP. This was a really close fight too.
West Coast went to PAP
Yuhua went to PAP
Sengkang West went to PAP. Sengkang West was under Ang Mo Kio 5 years ago.
Ang Mo Kio went to PAP with the highest votes of 69%.
Punggol East went to PAP
Bishan - Toa Payoh went to PAP. This was a really tight battle and a sad one too. the SPP's Mr Chiam contested in this precint but lost. So he will be retiring after this.
East Coast went to PAP
Pioneer went to PAP
Sembawang went to PAP
Nee Soon went to PAP
Holland - Bukit Timah went to PAP. this was so screwed up.
Choa Chu Kang went to PAP
Aljunied went to WP. For the first time ever, an opposition party won big. This was the star battle. This also saw the oust of a few key ministers, namely the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Second Minister for Transport and Finance from the incumbent party. Their replacements have yet to be announced.
Jurong went to PAP
Potong Pasir went to PAP. Sadly, the incumbent SPP's Lina Chiam, wife of Mr Chiam, lost this precint. But this was a humongously tight battle. the difference from the winning to the losing party was like 0.2% only!
Tanjong Pagar was a walkover as no one wanted to contest the incumbent PAP.
So GE 2011 saw 82 seats being occupied by the PAP and a whopping 6 seats being occupied by the Opposition, Worker's Party. Usually it was like 86 seats PAP and 2 seats Opposition. So this year's number is kinda substantial!
Anyway Singapore, let's aim for 40 seats PAP and 48 seats Opposition in GE 2016!

I've always been a strong person,
Things are now alright with me.
Even though life gets you weary,
Don't let it get you down, overcome!
Everything sounds like a bunch of bull,
Everything sounds like a bunch of lies.
A full bloom spring will arive, believe it.
Sing it with me cha cha cha!
Today this lonely man is clenching his teeth.
Gonna learn about love and life once again.
Clear his mind and erase the past,
this lonely man will have the last laugh!
Even though you were scatter brained,
You're a cool Don Juan.
Even though you may not make me laugh,
When i see you i'm so glad!
