Why the lightning?

See, I really don't understand.

Having no grudges against The Lightning in my whole life, imagine my OMGISTHATWHATSHAPPENING when The Man started showing me all the videos about the negative sides of them. A sudden blast and boom; bad things starts to flood in from all social media platforms. Threats and injustice acts from the Pioneers, impractical plans of HDB pricing, ridiculous CPF fund allocations dadada....videos tweets posts news images everything were popping out of everywhere from everyone.

I started reading the papers. More reports about their lousy talk during rallies. And the shame of Crescent Girls, our Kate Spade ambassador.

I went to three rallies with The Man, for SDP in the rain (for Danny the Democratic Party bear!), WP in the mud and of course NSP, to see the top woman on the "Iwanamarryhome" list Ms Nicole Seah.

So it seems that this generation hates the Lightning. So it seems that everyone around me are pro-Opp.

Then why?

Why did you guys still vote for PAP?

Results were released. PAP swept all the zones except two, which falls to Workers Party. I seriously jaw-dropped. What went wrong?

Besides the fear that was rooted inside you.

The fear of being blacklisted and unable to get flats.

The fear of being tracked down and locked up.

The fear of losing your government job.

Tell me something else can.

Relationships should be a two way road.

And ours, is always a one way expressway. I'm on full speed. And now I'm the only one left on the track.

Probably should brake now.

Weekend was all packed, lunches, dinners, catch ups....we even met Sarah Wan!

A friend told me that she wished to switch jobs, from a full time tutor to a part time insurance agent. She has been working happily for a good 5 years, building up rapport from students and parents and earning more than enough to support herself.

And now she wants to step out of her comfort zone, partly because the boyfriend wants her to and partly because she feels that she needs some interaction with the rest of her world.

I would be jumping with joy if its really for the latter. But seriously, I don't think so. I've got friends like Sandy Koh who IS holding a decent office job, travels to town everyday and scampers back home to shun herself from the outside world. (I can hear her argue back "wherrree got I got friends okaayy")

Its not about the job. Unless you're working in a factory in Tuas from 11am to 2am with no off days, no internet connection and no phone; otherwise you're not spared from any excuse of not having social interaction. That's what the social media platform is for.

Darling, its the character that gets you away from people. Not the job. I can't imagine how you are going to handle your clients in future if you're really going to take up an agent job.

And anyway the core problem actually lies in her boyfriend. In my opinion. (So if Mr Boyfriend is reading this post, your girlfriend wasn't badmouthing you, its MY OPINIONS) I'm not going to go through the crap about "if they love you they should accept the way you are", because some traits of some girlfriends really ought to be corrected.

Its not easy to find a job that is enjoyable to slave for and yet worth enough pennies to survive, and for her case, this seems like the ideal career for her. Don't try to brainwash and strip this away from her.

You're so good to me =)

The Man bugged me to change my layout. Any one has any funky design to supply?

My mum and my sis returned to Hong Kong today, kept complaining about the lousy budget terminal, I can't believe it they actually couldn't locate a phone or washroom there. Wow.

I wasn't aware that sacrifices and hardships are better said out loud than kept inside.

I was taught to suffer in silence. Use your IQ and solve it. Use your EQ and bear with it. If you are hurt, too bad, you should have measured the consequences of every action so it won't result to allowing others to hurt you. And that's what I passed on to my sister too. Now I feel sorry for her cos she's been going through the same type of mental torment like me.

There are times when you actually want share, and you did share, but the truth seems oh-so-fake. Its too late to erase what is imprinted in other's memory.

Whatever.

Whatever.

Whatever.

Saying it three times and more, trying to get it imprinted in my mind.

Whatever.

Mafia Ma has went back to Hong Kong yesterday.

No blood shed, meet-the-parents session went well. =)

Its Meet-The-Parents day. =)

2 minutes after I entered a wrong CVV number while doing an online purchase, Citibank called to check if I did that transaction.

Wow.

Very efficient.

I told him that the CVV number has faded and I need a new card. He said he's not in charge and would need to get the customer service to get back to me.

No word till now.

Hmmm.
