Another pair of shoes nicked!

OMFG!!! The shoe thief has struck again, IN BROAD DAY LIGHT SOMEMORE!!!

Lagi best... this time come my house at around 5pm in the evening where everyone can see his low-life scumbag face. Now, if my mum was a portrait artist, it would have been perfect...

According to her, she was watching TV on the sofa when she saw a slim malay guy (i'm not a racist & i must not stereotype, i'm not a racist & i must not stereotype ... ... X infinity), most probably in his late 20s squatting down along the corridor (From her position, she can see the entrance of the house, thus explains why you might ask how she manage to see the corridor sitting down). As soon as she realises what he is about to do, my mum shouted at that piece of shit and that douchehead was still smart enough to grab the pair of new balance shoes I bought for my mum on her daily morning jogs and subsequently bolted off after that.

Let me see... this is the 4th pair in 3 years the fcuking thief has nicked. But as far as I can remember, this is like the 2nd pair in less than a year. This has made me, quite simply put, dulan to the max. Because everytime the thief steals the pair of shoes (always my mum's! don't know why also... weird), I would buy her another one from the emart to replace the stolen ones. I still cannot bloody understand, why would anyone wanna steal someone else's used shoes??? And this sonofab!tch thief keeps coming back over and over and over again to steal from my place!!!! Is he plain stupid, or is he just bold??? Then like that I should really go and install a security camera yeah?!

And everytime I come home late at night, maybe 2~3am, I always half expected to see that fcuker doing his deed, I would then seriously wanna hantam him before I call in constable A-Cai to put him behind bars!

Now is poh mata (call police) also no use. Police just say ok, we step up patrol in the area. Yes, actually they is maybe tak ka la chia (bicycle) cycle around my neighbourhood, whistling fwah-lalala for one or two weeks, then retreat to their air-con NPCC relac and lim kopi... hahaha... not much they can do anyway I think, not as if they are catching some high profile murder suspect on the loose.

Anyway I will decreed now that in my house, all shoes, except slippers and sandals, are to be placed inside at all times. Failing which... if kenna stolen again, is your own pasa (business). Or maybe I will install invisible red laser beam sensors you see in movies like MI:3. Any trespassers will then be fried crispy like KFC from the massive electric current coming from the ground below.

TNP Big Walk 2006

Man, this is hilarious...

Falungong walks with our Mr. Popular Doong Shiwen! (foreground). They had like a mini procession of sorts, beating on their drums and blaring cheenapok music. Best of all, they had obasans dressed up like the moon fairy Chang-Er carrying flower baskets walking the entire stretch! R-E-S-P-E-C-T!

Anyways Big Walk sucks. Complete waste of time. I would rather run than walk 10km cos' its goddamn slow! And I had to do it on a Sunday morning when I could be playing soccer instead! Speaking of which, I've missed like 2 weeks of soccer already... I must kick a ball next weekend!!! I don't care!!!

Hidden dangers of living in a HDB flat

This has been happening for quite a while now.

I would walk past this particular area on the way to my bike and there always seem to be a few syringes lying around dangerously, as if waiting for an accident to happen. God knows whether they've been used or not. Or worse still, tainted with HIV virus.

Either someone is playing pranks or chances are, I have druggies living in my block; giving themselves shot after shot and getting high on drugs.

In any case, I've submitted an online feedback form to Aljunied Town Council to ask them to investigate into the above said matter and their followup has been more than satisfactory, given the fast response. Hmmm... call me a sceptic but I'd like to think they are too free, and I've just given them a task to get down and busy with.

Most would say... serve thy people well, and thou shall be rewarded with their vote of confidence. Sometimes, things don't always work that way. Heh.

Don't you just love this?

Last year it was the Champions League, this year it was the FA Cup final... Man, Liverpool's almost making it their habit to win games in such a heartstopping manner...

Here are some of the clips which I preened off youtube.

I can't help but laugh my ass off at Reina... This guy needs to go to English classes more often...



Interview with Stevie G



Highlights of the game



Cup Champions again! Hurrah!!!

The seeds have been sown...

That night as I watch intently before the TV, I sensed that the incumbent in my GRC was there for the taking, and Sylvia and her merry men would be the party poopers for PAP. But when the results were being announced, I felt so lost. The worker's party had lost by a close margin, by far the best result in the elections and thus enabling them to nominate a NCMP from their ranks. To me, quite useless lah, no vetoing power one the position. Its like putting you there just to let you make some noise only.

But hopefully it will serve as a platform for Sylvia to earn some valuable experience and mount a serious assault in the next GE. And how many times must I say that we need people like her to speak out against some of the dubious decisions made by the government? To make matters worse, my sister was gloating at me after the PAP win and at that moment, I seriously wanted to attempt a roundhouse kick on her.

This GE was the first time I had really taken an active interest in politics. It has made me realise that politics is a dirty game. There can only be one victor, and the vanquished are sometimes crushed so badly that they can't even stand up straight. Talking about freedom of speech, the ban on political podcasts on the web, and the seemingly lopsided views our newspapers (including the trusted "Straits Times") stood by. It has come to an extent that you can't help but doubt the credibility of the news article you are reading. Yes, however I will still continue to read my Straits times subscription on my toilet bowl every morning without fail. But the saving grace is thanks to independent blogs like SGRALLY and ELECTIONRALLY, citizen reporting from the field has brought a balance of what is reality in our heartlands - So that you are in a better position to pass a judgement on the political landscape in Singapore.

Remember, YOU have a choice.

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!

I went for my first ever rally a few days back. The opposition's of course. The Worker's party to be exact. It says a lot when I actually bothered to ride my bike all the way after work to Ang Mo Kio to hear them speak. Did I mention that on the way up along the dastardly jammed CTE, in Zhang Ziyi speak: "Traffic was a killa..."? and Bob Du, my friend who puked for 3 consecutive days non-stop after consuming a few morsels of KFC fried chicken, almost nearly wetted his underpants while I was manuevring past small crevices between cars?

Anyway, I digress too much. Back to the General Elections, I had the chance to vote for the very first time after witnessing a walkover in my GRC in the previous GE due to someone not filling up some damn form. I was not about to let slip the chance to hear from the other side of the fence, despite not knowing some of their credentials and the ability to deliver on what they promise.

So many times, we deride opposition parties because of this one reason - simply because they are not good enough. How have we come to that conclusion? How DID we come to that conclusion? Did we even give them a chance - one chance to prove their worth? No, we didn't! Why did we think that way? Have we been socially engineered to believe that you either make it or you don't? And that there is no second chance at all in studies or at work? If you are not even given the chance, how then do you make things happen? Success and failure is nothing but a thin line, determined by that one chance to make it happen - how sad it is.

Truth be told, no one can really determine how effective the opposition is until they are given the chance to deliver in parliament and in managing their respective GRCs. It is something like a vicious cycle, and there is no better time to give the opposition the chance than now. If we keep saying that the opposition are not good enough, then when will they ever be good enough??! People tend to measure the level of effectiveness through the tangible things they do, but if the opposition can only do so much as to give rousing speeches at rallies, then I'm afraid the political environment in Singapore is doomed to deteriorate into an endless abyss.

I can only say so much as words. I would have liked to attend more rallies if I can. When words can strike a rapport with you and subsequently the crowd, the feeling is akin to seeing Singapore win... I mean be present in the World Cup. Apathetic and politically indifferent Singaporeans should attend at least one rally and experience for themselves. Nevermind the crowd, the soggy pitch and aching knee joints from standing 3 hours at one shot, it is well worth it I tell you.

Remember, YOU have a CHOICE...
