For those who are into hawker centres, do take note: Smith Street Hawker Centre in Chinatown is closing for upgrading for nearly a year. Singapore's biggest hawker centre and one of the best in terms of food has definitely seen better days, thus explaining the revamp. We visited today for its swan song and had zi char. The damage: 7 dishes for 7 people = $32. We even had yummy ice kacang. Will definitely missed these food!
PS: For those for cannot forget the food there, most of the stallholders are moving to a temporary market in Outram Road.

My name is Jack Bauer...and This is the longest day of my life
After 24 episodes, the 5th season of 24 draws to a close. I only started watching the show in Season 3 and since then I have been hooked on the show. The real-time format really keeps you on the edge of your seat at the end of every episode. Season 3 has been a ground-breaking season with the killing of several main characters. Currently only Jack Bauer (played by Kiefer Sutherland) is still around from Season 1.Season 5 is a more exciting season compared to Season 4, in my opinion. The theme is constant and the villian is played excellently. No more ridiculous terrorist plots but interesting twists and turns in the story to continuingly keep you on your toes. For those who follows the series, it is definitely one of the best.
Now only Alias, Lost and Smallville to catch up on their final episodes of the seasons
Final Fantasy X revisited
Have been rather busy at work thus explaining the lack of update in this humble blog. Been totally exhausted once I reached home and thus the only free time is during the weekend. Other than the time I go to the gym, I usually spent my weekends catching up on readings and my drama serials (read 24, lost, Alias, Smallville).
Decided to replay Final Fantasy X. I started playing the game in 2004 and after nearly 100+ hours of agony, I finally completed it. Decided to replay the game once again as I did not play it properly during my first time. I must say the game is entertaining and really keep my mind off lots of stuff.
Am deciding whether to buy Kingdom Hearts 2 now!

Coldplay in Singapore!
Finally, after missing their concert in 2002 in Detroit, Coldplay is finally performing in a location close to where I can attend. Quite surprise that they are actually performing in Singapore. Was quite excited at first but am quite disappointed that all the sitting tickets have been taken up, the only tickets left are the standing $168. It is really very expensive but considering that they are the best band in the world and they were from my uni, will definitely try to go. Am trying to find kakis to go! Very tempting! Any takers?

Super Tiring Week
Am totally burnt out from the week. First had my monthly meeting to coordinate in the week and found out after the meeting that I had to draft a pre-cab (for those that know what it is, good for you :-)). Super rush job and it was all done in a short 2 hours. Luckily I had my boss to guide me along the way. The good thing is that the week was a short week with a long weekend to come with it.
Had a nice gathering with the usual Gandhi gang on Friday nite at Chomp Chomp. Been really a long time since we all gathered and la kopi. Saturday had the opportunity to watch my first movie in nearly 6 months. Mission Impossible 3 is surprisingly good considering I never really like Tom Cruise and his complicated movie (read: Vanilla Sky, Magnolia, MI2, etc). The main difference in the movie is JJ Abrams, the creater of Lost and Alias being the new director of the franchise. Interestingly the concept of the movie was pretty much based on the Alias serial. First you have a initial scene with rather groundbreaking images. Then he brings u back in time to tell you the background of the scene. Really good stuff! (The idea of planting a bomb in someone's head was actually showcased in the recent Alias episode). Now awaiting Da Vinci Code and X Men 3!
Monday is upon me. Time to catch some rest before another super hectic week!

I am featured in TODAY!
All thanks to Mr Miyagi, the number of visits have increased significantly (was not much to start with anyway). I agree with Mr Miyagi's analysis that citizen blogging is alive and kicking and we will see that not only in the election but any significant event that will impact the lives of normal Singaporeans.
Kudos to the Bak chor mee podcast. Was really a good satire of the situation. Seriously we need more satire that allow us to see the lighter side of some touchy issues.
I attached the link to the TODAY newspaper. For future reference I hope. :-)

British Political Jumble
After the tiring Singapore election season (which is the only sign of political mayhem in Singapore), let us examined on what happened to British Politics over the past week.
Firstly, Tony Blair have been facing extreme pressure at home to let everyone know when he is going off to make way for Gordon Brown. Next, his home secretary, Charles Clarke got into big trouble when it was reveal that foreign prisoners were not deported after their sentences but actually set free in Britain. The last straw was when his rebellious deputy prime minister, John Prescott admitted in an affair after being married for 45 years. So what can Tony do to get out of the big hole?
He re-shuffled the cabinet. First on the list, was sacking Charles Clarke. A portly man, Clarke was often seen as too strong to take on the Home Office. He took over from an embattled David Blunkett and had been caught in trouble after trouble. The foreign prisoners scandal was really the last straw that broke the camel's back. So he had to go and who to replace him at the messy Home Office. Up steps utility man, John Reid. Over the past 7 years, he has held 7 different posts. So he is always considered as a reliable back-up for Blair when a crisis occurs. Sad to say, he has actually not proven his worth anywhere except Northern Ireland due to short spells everywhere.
The next logical choice was also to sack John Prescott. Somehow he has become a liability more than helping Tony Blair. Unfortunately, that would be political suicide to sack him due to his union ties, so clever Blair let him stay as DPM but stripped him of all his portfolios of local governments. Thus making him theoretically Minister without Portfolio. He is increasingly looking more like a liability and I would not be surprised if he is quietly put down.
The biggest shock of this re-shuffle was the demotion of Jack Straw from Foreign Secretary to Leader of the House. The late Robin Cook was similarly demoted in 2001 to let Straw take on the role of Foreign Secretary. Jack Straw has been trying to present himself as the voice of Britain but that has been overshadowed by Blair. It would be a pity to lose him as he has worked tirelessly over the Iraq issue. Coming in his an old colleague of Blair, Magaret Beckett. She is tough but would make a good foreign secretary.
Other re-shuffle sees the promotion of Blair's high flyer David Milliband as the Secretary of the Environment. That shows the emphasis on environmental issues for the upcoming few years.
So what does this re-shuffle tell us about the current status of British politics? Blair is still very much in charge and unfortunately for Gordon Brown, most of his lackeys did not do so well for the re-shuffle.

Let me set the record straight
For friends who has suddenly wondered why I have become so anti-government, I have not. Let me set my records straight.
I am a product of the meritocracy system in Singapore. I did well in school and secure a government scholarship. Without that, I would have never been able to study in UK and USA and been able to see the world. With that I am always indebted to the government and the system I have been through.
Unfortunately I am not your typical "scholar". I come from the heartland, living in a 3 room flat and I can feel the suffering on the ground. My dad has not been working since 1999. Structural unemployment has caused him to not only lose his job but his will to find another. How can you expect someone who used to earn $1,500 as a mechanic in the ship to become a cleaner? Things are not as rosy as it seems. My mum has been working in a factory as an operator for the past 5 years. She is a contract staff with zero bonus, zero pay increment and the risk of being fired hangs over her head everyday. With overtime, her pay was about $600 to $800. Before I started working, my family of 4 have been surviving on $600 to $800 a month since 1999. Only when I started work, did I become the main breadwinner and took over most of the responsibility of the household. I also decided to get my family a car to let my parents have some form of luxury.
Not many of my friends know this and very few actually understand how I feel not able to do what most people can do. I am lucky as I have friends who understand my plight and always have been by my side.
I have seen quite a lot over my last 26 years and with today's society, it's hard for people at the top to understand. That's why I am so interested in politics because I do hope to make a difference one day. I hope one day I can be called upon to serve the people. That, I will serve with honour.

Post Mortem of the Singapore Elections
Ok, the dust have settled. Everything is back to normal after 9 hectic days of campaigning around Singapore. The ruling party has been returned to power with 82 out of the 84 seats (status quo) and the 2 opposition seats were strongly defended. So does that mean that the struggle is over? No, far from it. Let me give some thoughts on this elections.
1. PAP is slowly waking up
The incumbent party is finally awaking to the people's needs. This election will send a signal to the ruling party that simply by offering carrots such as upgradings and lifts will not send the electorate running back to them. This has been used for the past 15 years and it has obviously not worked considerig the opposition are still holding on to their seats. The PAP would have to re-strategise by thinking out of the box on how to win the two opposition seats.
2. Re-awakening of the Workers Party
From my previous post, I have no doubt that the Workers Party has come up as the alternative voice of the people over this past 9 days. What I truely hope they can achieve is to do more over the next 5 years by working the ground and speaking of alternatives instead of popping up every 5 years. With 2 seats in Parliament now, hopefully it would provide a more concerted effort on government policies.
3. Political Apathy, my foot?
Before the elections, I would assume that most people would think that Singaporeans were not interested in politics and no one really cared about who are the people in white. I was so wrong just by reading stuff on the internet and attending the rally. No matter what party each person supports, it is truely encouraging to read people being interested in politics and wanting to contribute to society.
4. Political freedom
By just listening to people, it is truely encouraging that we are slowly opening up as a society. No longer will people be yes man, but willing to speak up on the issues even criticising government's policies or people. I am glad this is happening and would one day hope that we can be open as the political society as those in Europe. Unfortunately I would feel we are still quite far from this. Just yesterday, was chatting with an acquaintance about politics and I commented that the sentiments in the grounds are slowly changing. She commented that I should not be making such comments as none of us can make these society. Come on, we live in a open society! If you can't take it, hide under your bed!
5. Finding the right people
I was glad that people such as Ong Ah Heng and Seng Han Thong are returned back to government. I can safely say these are the people who can really connect to the grounds. We need more of these people, who can understand the suffering of the man in the street. Close friends would always ask me when I would be joining politics but unfortunately this is not my call. I have always said that I truely hope one day I could serve the people but I think in Singapore it may not be so easy.
6. Stop Party Politics
Some nasty remarks were made by PAP Chairman, Lim Boon Heng over these past election. By limiting the outreach of NTUC only to your own party's people, you are truely not respecting the electorate. Upgrading and lifts should also be given to everyone as at the end of the day, everyone pays taxes as well. PAP is more than capable of winning an election with playing party politics and mud-slinging. Let's try to have a true and open election based on national issues for the sake of Singaporeans pls. (Incidentally, both Lim Boon Heng and Goh Chok Tong were noticeably absent at the victory press conference last night)
I have said my peace for this elections. Let's have a more compassionate government, one who is willing to understand the feel of the grounds and bring Singapore to the next lap.
Comments anyone??

Rally Fever
This election has been the turning point for the opposition. The opposition have been able to connect to the people significantly and were no longer engaged in "hooligan" politics. Out of curiosity, I attended the last 2 Workers Party rallies.
The first was in my hometown of Ang Mo Kio. Here the Workers Party is fielding their so called "suicide" squad of youngsters. The traffic on that night was ridiculous. By the time I got home at 7pm, the roads ard my neighbourhood were already jam-packed. Following the cheers, I eventually reached the rally site. The topics raised were expected but I must say the quality of argument is good and is no longer arguing for the sake of arguing.
The second rally I attended was at Serangoon Stadium with a bunch of colleagues. My colleagues decided to park 1km away from the stadium and we were already finding difficulty in actually finding a lot. On they way to the stadium, we saw another colleague and he told us that the police has already closed the gates to the stadium. Being curious, we decided to venture on and we were lucky that the police had actually opened another entrance to allow more to attend. I would guess the people there were easily 50,000 to 60,000. The emotional bits were there when one of the candidates said he had to say sorry to his 2 year old son for not being with him during this election period. The rally ended with an oath to Singapore by asking everyone to recite the Singapore pledge.
Overall, the election rallies were interesting and were really an eye-opener. Something that Singapore would only see once every 5 years. I seriously doubt any sports event in Singapore would ever acheived such a crowd.

Politics in Singapore
People who know me well would know that I am very interested in politics since secondary school. So why I have been so quiet over this period of time, when Singapore are selecting their next generation of leaders? Well, I have been observing quite a lot as this is my first election that I have experienced in Singapore since 1997 (I was not eligible to vote back then) and I have came up with several thoughts
1. The ruling party has done it again!
Remember Tang Liang Hong in 1997? I definitely did as I was staying in Cheng San in 1997 and the heat of the competition was really hot then. PAP attacked Mr Tang repeatedly and where is he now? Will Mr Gomez end up like him? With PAP repeatedly attacking him, it just show how worried PAP is in losing a GRC.
2. National or local issues
So what's this election all about? Whether who can negotiate FTAs or whether someone can upgrade your lifts for you? One day PAP is talking about upgrading and the next day they are changing to talk about "international issues". Pls make up your mind. Frankly, an election is always about local issues. An FTA will never affect the man in the street directly but a lift on his floor will.
3. Elitism
As PAP rolls out their slate of new candidates, how many of the potential MPs can really connect to the people? In fact, on the current batch of MPs how many are your people's MPs? I can frankly say only a few such as Ong Ah Heng, Tan Cheng Bock, Wong Kai Yuen. I have never seen my MP before and in fact when my parents went to seek help from him, he did not even meet my parents. That really make me pissed as he is now campaigning hard in my constituency. I have never seen him in 5 years! Why don't PAP choose people from the ground? I can understand that you need people with calibre to be Ministers but for the rest who will never hold a political office, why can't they be the grassroot leaders serving the community? Why get the CEOs, GMs, etc??
4. Unions
Singapore is one of the only place in the world when the "union leader" is appointed by the Cabinet and is a member of the cabinet. If a union leader gets elected to represent the workers in the Parliament, I have no qualms about it but when the leader is parachuted down from the government, it is really not right. How can the government (employer) and the union be the same person when it's a tripartite relationship?
5. Opinion Polls
For our press, it is really quite sad. Other than the odd commentaries, the press are really just reporting. There are no analysis involved and opinions being made on the campaigning trail so far. In fact, shouldn't the papers be going out in the streets to gather exit polls to get a feel on the ground? Thus most people are shocked if the opposition are ever voted in.
To conclude, this election is similar to previous years. PAP is digging up mud on opposition and the opposition are not really offering an alternate voice. BUT the one big difference is the power of the internet. Even though the press may give limited coverage to the whole campaigning, citizen reporters are there to blog on the situation on the ground. People's sentiments are being felt as they are more willing to listen and not pretend to be dumb. As an evidence of citizen's reporting, Refer to the all famous photo courtesy of yawning bread.
Everyone stay tuned on Saturday. I won't be surprised if a GRC falls.

Interesting May Day
Spend most of the May Day holidays reading "The Royal Duty" by Paul Burrell, butler to the late Princess Diana. It was an interesting read about the ins and outs of what happened within the Royal Family. Even though I am still skeptical about the trial (The Queen had to come in at the last minute, to remember giving away some of the stuff), I sincerely believed that he was true and loyal to the Princess.
Also ended up collecting 4 tins of Milo from Suntec City...super long queue. Damn Singaporeans are damn passionate about free stuff :p
