u2 - With or Without You

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

2 more papers to go...

And why i am blogging then?
Well...during an exam, one does everything else besides studying :P
Anyway, was watching the election rallies on television today. It brought up a few questions in mind. Nah i am not going to hrap on intricate details and analyse the topics and positions of the individual parties. Rather, i am going to comment on the simple thing of presentaiton.

Yes. Presentation.

Its really weird. With all the money and expertise that they have in their teams, why is it that none of the teams actually bother presenting themselves in a manner truly capable of addressing the crowd in a rally? Why is it that most of the people standing up and speaking either dress real poorly or just look SOOOO nerdy??? I mean, some of them just look so "toot"! (Singapore hokkien dialect for a NERD). I mean apparently some of the candidates still think they are in the 60's so much so that even their hairstyle is 60s...so passe. Some parties should also take the effort to hire marketing people to advertise and at least dress them up better. The whole attire and get up is just so... gah!

Anyway, another issue is that why when they present or speak, do they have this droning voice.."blah blah blah" it makes lecturers in NUS seem so lively and fun! OMGawd... please speak with more life! It seems that these individuals can't even pass their basic oral exams in schools today! I have better tuition students under me that can speak with more enthusiasm!

Sheesh.

Even worse, when reading, apparently all of them are so rich that they hire people to write their speeches (which i guess is pretty normal) but the fact is, apparently they do not go through it first at all! During their speech, they have more eye contact on the script itself then on the audience! I mean come on! Wake up your idea! Its a rally! Its suppose to liven up the audience, stir up their emotions and feelings, gather support! Not bore them to sleep. If i wanted a lecture i would go to school! not to a rally...sigh...

If i had the chance to meet my minister, i would ask him to please get better charismatic candidates... please...

Long Over Due Post...

heh.. its been a real long time since i blogged about anything... as ususal, the same reasons apply. Its been a long tiring and mentally draining semester and my exams are in mid way... ok ok i know sometimes i am just too bloody lazy to write anything... and for that i apologise :p

Anyway, i just can't wait for this semester to be over. Its been real bad... and tiring... its semesters like this that really make you think twice about going on to higher levels of learning. GAH! there has been so many incidents when i wanted to call it quits...

Oh well, it has been a weird semester... hmm, Arsenal are in the Chamipons League Finals (WTF???) , Real Madrid despite all their players are doing very badly in the La Liga (about time though, Sorry Javier and Xavi), I am actually worried about finding a job, friends are now celebrating weddings instead of birthdays, even the Opposition Parties are now contesting the dominant hegemon... What in the World is going on??? :X

Ah well... that brings about the final point.

For once, the elections or (the ELECTION) is actually on! For the first time since the 1990's our ruling party has not been returned to power on nomination day! (yes yes for all you people overseas, it is not weird over here that the ruling hegemon returns to power on the nomination day)

Heh. and for the first time in my life, i actually have the opportunity, nay privillage to vote!!! Yes ! Moi has the right/ privellage/ honour (put in your own word) to vote! Lol my election card with my full name and registration number came in the mail today! Dont worry skeptics out there! Voting here is SECRECT!nobody will know.

Oh yeah. Bloggers and fellow friends out there... Please be careful. As commenting on political issues here are sensitive, we have to register our names with the appropriate authorities for if we don't it might lead to messy reprecussions if the authorities deem our analysis . Unless of cause we blog from overseas, then its legal.

Anyway, yeah my area *GRC (now for this election only [due to too much jerry- mandering] is known as East Coast GRC) is currently contested between 2 different groups. Basically, the contest might be over even before it begun, but kudos for the group attempting to stand out. After all, it ain't easy playing against the big boys, but at least they tried.

Which brings me to another point, right now to May 6 (election day) is suppose to be the time they are rallying for votes, and thus all the alternate lampost in my area have posters! haha apparently they don't like to use all the lamp posts, so they like to squeeze all the different parties posters on the same lamp post. Therefore what we get is a really messy lamp post with a lot of posters on top of each other... really unprofessional and messy.

Anyway, back to my studies... i have 2 more papers left!!!

its strange.

Its strange when the place you regard as a home for the past 23 years of your life has been totaly changed. When every nook and cranny that you have become familiar with has totally been removed, repainted, re-decorated and shifted. It feels weird coming back home and everything is no longer the same. I get very stressed when there are strangers in my house doing weird stuff to it.

Its just wrong.

What's wrong in using the old proverb ,"if it ain't broken don't fix it"? it gets on my nerves seeing the place in such a mess. What's the point in buying relics and antiques when you don't even treasure the items that you have in front of you in the first place?

BaH HUMBUG.

only my room is my safe haven now. Only my room is my home. Its not that i dont like the new surroundings. Its nice indeed. (It better be with the !@#!@#! amount of money spent on it) But the point is, its just not my home anymore.

Sigh.

Am very disappointed. What is wrong with parents? When young, we always look upon parents as an oasis of wisdom, someone that we can look upon in awe and inspiration. But now as we grow older, sometimes we can never understand how our parents think.

What the hell is wrong with them nowadays anyway? They think they know everything, but the truth is they DON'T. They refuse to listen to you, chiding you for not being mature enough and understanding the whole picture, but the truth is, they are the ones who are not mature enough to handle constructive criticisms!

FRUSTRATIONS. Thats what i get for talking to them. they always winder what is going on in my life, but they never listen. They accept the fact that other people's children are growing up, but never their own. Well get this concept right, "WE ARE ALL FUCKING GROWING UP." I do know that parents usually restrain you for your own good, but sometimes, weren't parents kids? Why cant they understand how it's like to be a teenager or a young adult? Since they love talking so much about "when i was young" bull shit fuck nonsense, why can't they also understand the things that we have to go through now? They always said they had it tough, well the truth is FUCK IT MAN you have no idea how tough it is for a young adult now!

You try going through what we are going through now and you tell me if you can handle it. Get used to the fact for pete's sake that as time goes on, people change and people grow up. YOU CANT ALWAYS HAVE WHAT YOU WANT.

GROW UP.

Sigh. What kind of stupid mentality do they have? STuck in there own archanic and conservative thinking. Why cant they be really supportive and support us and encourage us with positive words and stuff rather than using a negative and pessimistic way in which to tell us things. Well after all, they are the ones that voted in the f!@#@!# gahmen who uses the same form of threats to its own people. GRRRR.. why cant they fucking just accept the fact that we are all growing up now. GET USED TO IT...

As one famous rapper said (i dunno who) "MOVE BITCH, GET OUT OF THE WAY."
