I cant sleep.
Somebody sing me a lullaby please?
I keep thinking of my results tomorrow. Seriously, I've worked hard for this and if anything goes wrong then okla, gua accept juga. Heh. I tried hard, and if i fail, ok fine, aku bodoh. Or shit happens, or not suited for JC education or not good enough yet for university or....
Have been going through universities websites, advanced diploma courses on newspapers and the net and even faoundation years in certain Australian universities. And damn, Aus universities are gonna screw my cash dry if i enrol. But who said life is always cheap and easy?
One thing i hate about results day i the suspense. It can be fun but it can break you if you take it too hard. And having to face your friends, teachers, calls from acquaintances. It would be all sweet if the results are nice. But in a case of the otherwise. ehem ehem.
heh. Im just typing and i dunno whats the focus. heh but one thing for sure, im nervous. I don't wanna say anything now cos anything can happen.
We'll wait for tomorrow.
Bye.

RED ALERT!
When i blog means there is something important.
heh.
results will be out this friday at 14 30 hrs. seriously, im not hoping much out of this.
i may make it or i won't. Now let me say this, if i make it then I thank Allah and everyone around me for their motivation and criticisms. But if i don't make it, from the bottom of my heart, i apologise for the disappointment i brought to everyone who's concerned. Neither do i expect it to turn out that way.
.
.
.
.
.
But whetever it is, im still hoping for the best. But i prepared myself for the worst already. I've got a few other plans in place just in case.
And to be honest, im damn scared for this friday. Every now and then, when i think about it, my heart beats faster. I get spasms and goosebumps.
watever it is, FRIDAY eh?
Penghulu segala hari.
:)
Selamat!

Talking of my greatest regret
About a week has passed and now then i have the courage to write about this.
You know, i'm the kind of person who, whenever a drastic change takes place, needs to take time and real solid evidence to tell me its for real.
And yes, when i see that the chair she used to sit is now used by someone else,
yes, when i no more see the white chair with the black bottom cushion used in zuhur/asar/maghrib/isyak for her prayers
yes, when i no more hear the gentle nuances of her voice whenever i give salam to the house
yes, when i heard the cute laugh no more when any member of the family cracks a joke
yes, when theres no more of me joking with her whenever she gives me extra cash
yes, when i see my grandpa alone at the window when we go home every weekend
yes, when there's one less person in the kitchen at the eve of Iduladha
yes, when.....i kissed her forehead and cheeks for the last time that evening.
Yes, Grandma left for Allah's abode on the morning of monday 10 december 2007.
Grandma i miss you.
If i had known this is to happen, I'd have not went to Ubin to enjoy myself.
I'd have visit her even though its just for a minute.
That was my greatest regret.
The regret of my life.
Khususan Almarhumah Hajjah Rahma Binte Mor, Al Fatihah.
May Allah bless you and may you be placed among the pious and his most loved servants.
Amin.

La Tahzan
Al-Fatihah
I would like to make a special tribute in the loving memory of Professor Syed Hussein Al-Attas who have returned to Allah's SWT abode on Thursday, 25/1/07. May Allah bless him for all his contributions to the society and may he be placed among the pious and the Syuhadah. Amin.
.
.
.
Anyway...i was browsing thru friendster and i found a blog which posted an excerpt of the book titled 'La Tahzan'(don't be sad) by Dr 'Aidh Al Qarni. Much love to the owner of the blog and mad props to Dr 'Aidh. So here it goes:
If you are stricken by poverty, others are chained in debt.
If you don't have shoes, others have no feet.
If you feel pain now, others have been aching for years.
If your son dies, other have lost many.
If you have sinned, then repent.
If you have committed a mistake, correct it.
The doors of repentance are ever open!
The fountain of forgiveness is every rich!
So, don't be sad!
Let all bygones be bygones!
What is predestined for you, you shall see it!
Being sad will not change anything!
So don't be sad!
Sadness spoils your life!
Destroys your happiness!
And turns it into wretchedness!
So don't be sad!
Supplication is your shield!
Prayer is your beacon!
Prostration is your means!
So don't be sad!
See how vast is the earth!
How nice are the gardens and forests!
How bright are the stars!
All are happy, but you are sad!
So, don't be sad!
You have sweet water to drink!
Fresh air to breathe!
Feet to walk with!
You sleep safely in your bed!
So, why be sad?
Every cloud has a silver lining!
After long nights, come the bright sun!
Life will soon give you a smile!
So be ready to get it!
And don't be sad!
Real life is that spent in happiness!
So cross out you sad days from your age!
Peace of mind is the real treasure!
Sorrow avails not!
So don't be sad!
Dr 'Aidh Al Qarni
aight...
till we meet again...

Ode to my 'Muslim' friend
This i wish i don't have to tell but i got to,
it was morn, three men conversing between two,
its the first day since the years passed,
reminiscing moments that lasts.
They asked a question, "man why don't you drink?",
no thinking, i just said that i'm a muslim,
and their next reaction did blew me of my mind,
they were laughing, giggling sif' i spit a comedy line.
It hit my temple, like thoughts coming in gushes,
cos' my hope for a muslim friend crash and burn into ashes.
I'm not irate, i don't wish to curse.
I just wanna lay down, priorities first.
They laughed, yeah so whats the big ish'?
they are muslims too, damn and thats a big hit.
that moment, my mind was empty,
as shock and disgust overcame me,
i start to query:
I can't believe how true this reality?
like the sweet fairy tale or bitter tsunami?
I felt like packing my bag, stash by stash,
as my hope for a muslim friend burns to ash.
This the third verse cos two just ain't sufficient.
This message i bring friends take time to listen,
if you don't wanna follow then walk out silent,
theres no need for you to start your dissing.
Ridicule and act tough, aping and then laugh,
gaping at your stuff, denying in your doubt,
man, i wish the Prophet could live again,
so they could see how he protected our religion.
God, make sahabas live again,
so we can see how they suffered and then prolly we can comprehend,
till that day come i'm in the mosque and on my knees,
hope for a muslim friend to come, a wish that never cease.

Azan
Allahuakhbar, Allahuakhbar
mataku setengah pejam.
Allahuakhbar, Allahuakhbar
cahaya di kamar kelam.
Asyhadu allaa ilaaha illallah
menyergah mimpi, kesunyian malam
asyhadu anna Muhammadar-Rasuulullah
bangkit jasadku dari tilam.
Haiya 'alash-shalaah!
airwuduk membasahi wajah.
Haiya 'alal-falaah!
seruan belum disahut ummah.
Ash-shalaatu khairun minan-naum,
bangkitlah wahai manusia!
Ash-shalaatu khairun minan-naum
dari penindasan dan kedangkalan ilmiah!
Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar
syukur rezeki dari yang esa.
Laa ilaaha illallaah
pintu taubat masih terbuka.
Renungilah,
kelahiran diiringi azan,
kematian diiringi solat.
Antara azan dan solat,
betapa singkatnya hidup ini.

Lailatul Qadar or Lailatul Bazaar?
I finished my exams this week and so i had the time to do a litle bit of catching up with the media hype. In the midst of the fasting month i wonder, whats all this month is about? The small boy in me who is still discovering Islam and being naive, turns to media to seek answers. Advertisements and promotions flashed on the goggle box, catchy tunes and jingles create a melody. Switched on the radio and again, promotions of fiesta and festivals for the whole month is widely publicized. A response from an on street interview stuck onto my mind," This nightly event have allowed me to strenghten the inter-relation bonds between me and my family." And i thought i got the answers.
I have heard that before. The month of ramadhan is to strenghten your relationships with your fellow counterparts. And looking at the majority of the events that are publicized, the month of ramadhan is the month of fiesta and party- every weekend, every night with concerts and music, food galores and whatnot. But is that all Ramadhan is worth of? Is that the main reason why muslims are commanded to fast in the first place?
And then it hit me,"O believers, fasting have been made obligatory upon you as it was made obligatory upon those who came before you so that you all may attain piety."(2:183). These were the signs that, probably ramadan is more than month of just mere entertainment. The objective is made clear, "so that you all may attain piety." I turned to hadis for an insight, and Prophet (s.a.w) described fasting as a shield for the votary to vanquish worldly desires.(Al Haleemiy). Worldly desires. That phrase sinked deep into my mind. Surfeiting entertainment, does that count to be worldly desires? I looked back at the previous months, there were no such one whole month of full-swing carnival. And during ramadan there is. Why is it the month when the main objective is to suppress our worldly desires is then full of events fulfilling the opposite?
Isn't it paradoxical? I wonder why or rather how two things are happening simultaneously. At one place, there are concerts going on, with glittering lights and glam, loud music, dances and food, illuminating the enlightened nights of ramadhan. A few kilometres away, i see people standing in straight lines they called 'saf'. Voices that speaketh nothing but the revelations revealed through Gabriel a few thousand years ago. And soon after they humbled by placing their forehead on the ground with every of their movement, the ruku' and sujud etc accompanied with a five syallable word with one meaning: God is Great. I stood confused and perplexed, which one should i go? So i try checked. I'm a muslim, the people praying are muslims. But then, they in the concerts are also muslims. So which one?
So i reckon, probably, entertainment is fine. As long as we follow Yin and Yang, the law of balance. We are humans and we need them. But when its amount exceeds what we always have(in other months), something must be wrong. Something is indeed out of place. Especially when it is the time for us to cut down on them.
Its either people is wrong or i am wrong. For satan is not at fault. Maybe i'm just too extreme. But then again i'm just a little boy in search of mere truth in the midst of the axiom.
"Show us to the right path: the path whom you give privileges and not of those whom you wrathed and had gone astray."(1:6 &7)

I have heard that before. The month of ramadhan is to strenghten your relationships with your fellow counterparts. And looking at the majority of the events that are publicized, the month of ramadhan is the month of fiesta and party- every weekend, every night with concerts and music, food galores and whatnot. But is that all Ramadhan is worth of? Is that the main reason why muslims are commanded to fast in the first place?
And then it hit me,"O believers, fasting have been made obligatory upon you as it was made obligatory upon those who came before you so that you all may attain piety."(2:183). These were the signs that, probably ramadan is more than month of just mere entertainment. The objective is made clear, "so that you all may attain piety." I turned to hadis for an insight, and Prophet (s.a.w) described fasting as a shield for the votary to vanquish worldly desires.(Al Haleemiy). Worldly desires. That phrase sinked deep into my mind. Surfeiting entertainment, does that count to be worldly desires? I looked back at the previous months, there were no such one whole month of full-swing carnival. And during ramadan there is. Why is it the month when the main objective is to suppress our worldly desires is then full of events fulfilling the opposite?
Isn't it paradoxical? I wonder why or rather how two things are happening simultaneously. At one place, there are concerts going on, with glittering lights and glam, loud music, dances and food, illuminating the enlightened nights of ramadhan. A few kilometres away, i see people standing in straight lines they called 'saf'. Voices that speaketh nothing but the revelations revealed through Gabriel a few thousand years ago. And soon after they humbled by placing their forehead on the ground with every of their movement, the ruku' and sujud etc accompanied with a five syallable word with one meaning: God is Great. I stood confused and perplexed, which one should i go? So i try checked. I'm a muslim, the people praying are muslims. But then, they in the concerts are also muslims. So which one?
So i reckon, probably, entertainment is fine. As long as we follow Yin and Yang, the law of balance. We are humans and we need them. But when its amount exceeds what we always have(in other months), something must be wrong. Something is indeed out of place. Especially when it is the time for us to cut down on them.

Ramadhan Mubarak
Aight...so i'm back...its been a long time since isn't?..and people have been bugging me to update so here it goes...
First things first...I wanna wish all my muslims brothers and sisters..Selamat berpuasa..and that goes to muslims around the world. And in conjunction with the Ramadhan month, my tutor whose name is Ramadhan gave me a book called the "Reliance of The Believer In Ramadhan" by Mohammed Iqbal Bin Abdullah. Its a good book..with really in depth information about the month of ramadhan and things in parallel to the matter. It costs $15 in the market and i got it for free...Jazakallahu Khairan to Abg Ramadhan.
And i would like to take this chance to say this: those of you who are not fasting due to valid or wack reasons...please don't eat and drink in public...show some respect for your own religion..and don't tarnish our image...It ain't nice when you have a non-muslim coming to you and asking," how come that guy is eating in the fasting month? I thought you all cannot eat at this time right?"...Aight..to whom it may concern..go figure..nuff' said.
Anyways, promos are here and I'm giving my all for it...I really hope that i will be able to pull through this one..so yeah...anyway..nerds are cool..get that?one more things is this PW stuff...its time consuming and irritating...eating up most of my time where i can actually study or do something else..
last friday was my General Paper and mother tongue promos..It was 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigghhtt'...i tried my best and thats what that matters...after that whole tiring day..a lighter moment with my friends...crashed to Al Amin for iftar...dope deal they have there..$7 per person and we ate as if we paid $15...Al Amin is the ish' man..good food, good friends, good time....ribut gua cakap sama lu!!...
so tomorrow is my maths and economics paper..the schools exam committe is a GENIUS...maths and economics on the same day...they gotta be doping when they are making our exam timetable..anyway..its mind over matter...get in..do my thing and get out..tomorrow is my exam..and what am i doing here??
Anyway..wish me luck for my promos...God help me...in this month of yours..show thy mercy to your lowly servant. Amin.
aight.till i spit again...

Ain't got no choice
I freezed in the frosted memory of the moonlight,
in the midst of the night,giving glimpses of grilling sights.
Despair over the mountains that proved too high
and morality of humans that proved too dry.
It's just by your instincts that you refused to try,
but to kneel down hold your hand towards the sky.
Reality makes you feel like shit,
but then again it echoes hollow, "its decreed!".
At times things happen beyond our ability,
and i guess thats why we call it destiny.
As i soldier on just to complete formality,
stay just in disparity and upright in adversity.

anyway..during the rehearsals, i get to meet Harun and my sis friends..we were performing on the same day with NUS...and i think i spilled some beans...much love to sis..heh..anyway..its cool..NUS showed a dope production and storyline..abstract yet fathomable..interesting..i like it..

ThePoet on Science
It is now common to read a newspaper of which the front page reports on the tension caused by nuclear weapons, weapons of mass destruction and other biological threats while the next page depicts how science is helping in maintaining the environment and a potential multimillion dollar industry in future. Within all this, rise a paradox and a controversy, is science helping or hurting us? Science itself is a subject that focuses on how things work, leading into creations and inventions such as how physics and math brought about technology and engineering. The argument can be substantiated in four main points of contention which are security, socio-cultural, environmental and economy. In all these aspects, the argument will demonstrate on how science is more of a help than a detriment to the human race by weighing out the pros and cons.
“Tensions escalate as nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang fails.” These are some of the news that is making headlines in the papers, television reports and other modes of mass media worldwide. The insidious effects of science are conspicuous here, of which it brings about political instability and a high tendency of dire repercussions such as war and health hazards. The advancement in scientific research has brought about discovery of nuclear power, which is manipulated into powerful and lethal weapons, weapons of mass destruction, armory and biological weapons such as chemicals, bacteria and viruses. Apparently, the manipulations of these scientific products are causing harm to humans. We have seen how anthrax, a kind of bacteria caused a shockwave of panic across the world, disrupting mail services and putting everybody at risk of being infected. The chemical plant explosion in Chernobyl which claimed many lives and even survivors are not spared from the aftermath. The survivors are still suffering from cancer and genetic mutation. Their offspring are born deformed and most did not survive for more than a few years. Their clouds and atmosphere is still polluted with radioactive particles, which takes an insurmountable time to diffuse and disappear. The recent Iraq war too which killed thousands of innocent civilians is launched due to the search for weapons of mass destruction. The effects brought about due to science here is dangerous. It has the ability of massacre and yet often than not the panacea discovered is too late to save the devastating outcome in the aftermath. Akin to the introduction of science to the world is opening of the Pandora’s Box, which has caused the world to go asunder.
On the contrary, it is undeniable that science has brought about many benefits that have helped humans. One of them is the advancement in the medical sector. The research in medicine and biomedical sectors has allowed humans to sustain life and cure diseases which might have caused death a hundred years ago. The development in the medical sector also brought about a higher standard of living and allowing people to take pre-emptive measures. For instance, the discovery of calcium pills, iron pills and other similar supplements can spare the adults from the aches and pains due to aging process or at least alleviate them. Even a pregnant mother eats according to the doctor’s recommendation to ensure the health of the baby. Scientific research allowed us to find the source and reasons for diseases. Scientists now know the reason of why flu persists and how to take preemptive measures lest it becomes a pandemic. The H5N1 virus is now being researched by scientists on how to contain the virus. This information has helped people in ensuring their health. The medicine production firms are also reaping the benefits as they can predict the time of which production should be increased, which in turn will save many from being maimed for life by the flu. Hence, to assert that science is detrimental to us is a biased viewpoint.
Science has also helped in the maintaining of the environment. Through studying genetics, scientists and zoologists are helping in breeding animals which are at the brink of extinction to flourish once again. Other than helping in breeding animals which are endangered, botanists are using genetics to propagate endangered plants and plants which contain medicinal value. This helps to increase the rate of production of medicines extracted from these natural resources. On the notion of increasing production, plantations companies are using tissue culture top ensure a good yield in their harvest. Science is a tool used to help and develop their business; a good example would be the oil palm plantation in Malaysia, which employs the tissue culture, to increase production and a better harvest. The utilization of science in research of the oil palm plantation also starts to show results as the oil palm trees might be a possible resource for medicines. Therefore, science has increased man’s ability in research and development, which might help in bringing the world onto a more prosperous and safe platform as increasing resources for antidotes and our basic necessities are discovered.
In Singapore, the government has embarked on a project in the life sciences. The research and development have helped Singapore in creating jobs for the citizens. Singapore is currently working with other countries in making advancements to life-sciences. The increase in investments in Singapore due to science and technology has helped in prospering the nation’s economy.
Science Is a double edged sword, in which one bears benefits to man while the other results in dire repercussions. However, these consequences are brought about by the abuse of science and using it for negative intentions. Therefore, it is not science that hurts but humans himself that manipulate it to cause harm. Looking at the far more benefits that science bears, the argument is much inclined that science is more of a help than a hurt to mankind.

Poem of The Cloak
Is it because of your remembrance of the neighbours of Dhi-salam.
That tears mixed with blood are flowing (from your eyes).
Or is it because of the breeze blowing from Kaazimah.
Or it is the lightning struck in the darkness of the night Idam
What has happened to your eyes, (the more) you tell them to stop, the more they continue flowing.
What is the matter with your heart, (the more) you tell it to come to its senses, (the more it is distracted).
Does the lover think that his love can be concealed.
While his eyes are shedding tears and his heart is glowing.
Had it not been for the love, you would not have shed tears at the ruins (of your beloved).
Nor would you become restless at the remembrance of the cypress (tree) the high mountain.
How do you deny love after the testimony.
Borne against you by (such) reliable witnesses as your yours and your illness.
Love has ingrained two lines of fear, and withered your face.
On your cheeks like yellow rose and the reddish tree.
Yes! Thoughts of the beloved came to me at night and kept me awake.
And love transforms pleasure into pain.
you who reproach me, regarding my love, excuse me.
From me to you if you do justice, you would not reproach me.
My state (of love) has been expressed to you, (now) my secret is no longer concealed.
From those who malign (me), nor is there (something to) check my agony.
You have sincerely advised me , I did not heed it.
For verily a lover is deaf to those who advise him.
I regarded with suspicion the advice of the elders in reproaching me.
(Wisdom) in the advice of the elders is above suspicion.

ok..this poem is not mine..it is the qasidah burdah..by imam Busairi..nice poem...got a great story behind..u wanna noe the story?find out urself..hehe..ok anyway..got my results...and it sucks big time i tell u....big time..anywae...this is the first time..so yeah...just take it as a learning curve..hope to score of my mid-course..
Al-fatihah to Almarhum Syed Ahmad Semait who passed away in his destination to Kuala Lumpur on 15/7. May Allah bless him, and place him in paradise.
On a lighter note, i am in this pidato shit, a kind of malay language oratorical contest...ashraf and fatimah is in too..evg makes great speakers...
this have been lingering in my mind nowadaes...and soon...i will craft it into a poem..people who momentarily forget that others have feelings...i see it thru witness and experience, hears it thru ink and chronicles...so wait for that poem in my next entry..aight...
school is totally tiring...i'm usually fatigued by the time its friday afternoon...after prayers...i just wanna have some rest...take it slow and steady...catch up on more important things in life...unfortunately in SG, education is one of them..
till here i shall spit...take care and have a good week ahead..
I'm outta here..

Kismet
Whether it is a sign onto man
or just part of predestination,
it is a message being sent,
of mercy and compassion.
When it meets their eyes and all was light,
their minds drift into wonders.
Names and phrases as they try,
to search and discover the answers.
Even after the ideas and finds,
impromtus that goes unplanned.
Deny they did of a divine,
Authority over lives of man.
It's been a long way, it might have been
still there's an ocean of secrets concealed within.

Sonnet of an Apocalypse
When the first trumpet is blasted,
the earth trembles with fright.
Then mankind chaos and riot
and mothers lost their child.
When the stars trickles like rain
and the moon is cleft asunder,
the mountains break terrain,
Its the eve of hereafter.
When money and material made no more sense,
no more caste, can't distinguish the difference.
Kings and landlords owned no more lands,
everything is futile, no more repentance.
When the earth quavers, crash and burn,
then, we have reached the point of no return.

God Is The Light
How Great The Wonder Of The Heavens
And The Timeless Beauty Of The Night
How Great-Then How Great The Creator ?
And It's Star Like Priceless Jewels
Far Beyond The Reach Of Kings
Bow Down For The Shepherd Guiding Him Home
But How Many Eyes Are Closed To The Wonder Of This Night ?
Like Pearls, Hidden, Deep Beneath A Dark Stream Of Desires
But Like Dreams Vanish With The Call To Prayer
And The Dawn Extinguishes Night
Here Too Are Signs
God Is The Light .
How Great The Beauty Of The Earth And The Creatures Who Dwell On Her
How Great - Then How Great The Creator ?
As It's Mountains Pierce The Clouds
High Above The Lives Of Men
Weeping Rivers For Thousand Of Years
But How Many Hearts Are Closed To The Wonders Of This Sight ?
Like Birds In A Cage, Asleep With Closed Wings
But Like Work Stops With The Call To Prayer
And The Birds Recite,
Here Too Are Signs
God Is The Light, God Is The Light.
How Great The Works Of Man And The Things He Makes
How Great, Then How Great The Creator ?
Thought He Strives To Reach The Heavens
He Can Barely Survive
The Wars Of The World He Lives In
Yet How Many Times He's Tried, Himself To Immortalize ?
Like His Parents Before Him In the Garden Of Eden
But Like The Sun Sets With The Call To Prayer
And Surrenders To The Night
Here Too Are Signs
God Is The Light Everlasting, God is The Light Everlasting, God is The Light Everlasting.

Singapore Votes 2006- General Elections
Waiting quite excitedly for the results of my constituency, i watched as the results of each constituencies were announced. As the event unfolds, one thing became very clear- the PAP has been in power for too long and it is practically unfeasible to deny their expected mass victory and their voice of majority in the parliament. This has been a perplexing question for me. Why does the PAP always win the elections? Why not the SDP or other opposition parties for that matter? That question lingers in my mind, Until yesterday that is.
For the first time, i went for an opposition's rally, and the only word i can use to describe the contents putforth is irrelevance. Having read their newsletter way before the rallies started, what that i had been hearing is the highlighting of PAP's flaws. As much as I'm not a PAP's advocate, i still do agree that the PAP has at least displayed their future plannings, policies and schemes in their manifestos. Sadly, i have seen none or rather little of these things being conveyed in the rallies and manifestos in most of the oppositon's.
The opposition's rally remains within the axis of pointing out and picking the faults of others, much less in telling what they want to do to change the status quo. They actually did inform the citizens what they want to do. But how do they plan to go about doing it? What programme do they have in mind? Why look for other's flaw when you yourself doesn't have a policy or a programme to change it? Why exaggerate small issues that is already history? When people are voting for a government that can govern country towards a new and higher platform in the future?My friend was quite amused when reading the newsletters. It could probably qualify as a satirical newsletter rather than a political one.
All in all, i do feel that the nature singaporeans too do have an effect on the outcome of the election results. In my opinion, singaporeans will prefer to stay in the comfort zone. An example would be Potong Pasir, where SDA emerged victor and Hougang where WP too gained victory in the elections. SDA and WP have been ruling their constituencies for quite some time and the residents there are already comfortable with their own party and so continue to vote for them. The majorities mandate for PAP is clear, very evident and apparently beyond question.
The results for Aljunied was quite shocking, with only a small margin of 26 000 between the PAP and WP.2006's election has been quite exciting, with all the events that unfolds, and a more understanding of how the politics work. Maybe i will review on contemplating to participate in the politics. The saga, defamation, propaganda and whatnot might be exciting yet tiring.
I just wish to have at least a quarter of the parliament seats comprising of the opposition. I always believe that having a different perspective in a government is beneficial with reasons that are self explanatory. They all have Singapore's interest at heart anyway. However I'm afraid that my wish might be a little bit too much, reviewing at the current election results.
