Will check it out, thanks Chenonceau.


Btw, PM's apologies I read in today's ST.

hmm.... he must be feeling the heat. At least he is aware of the discontent that has been brewing around.
In 2007 when the property market was going through the roof, our DM (dear minister )
said that if you can't afford a place near your home, just uproot and go to Changi or Woodlands. Imagine someone in charge of Housing giving this kind of comments. That of course, showed that he was not interested in taking any actions at all.

I couldn’t be bothered to follow the rallies…stressed enough as it is. Can’t wait for son to finish his EL/CL compo this week. Friday, he will be dismissed at 10am as school is used as polling station…so tempted to keep him at home that day.


Hubby told me opposition mentioned some incentives for SAHMs…to me, it’s about time we get recognition. Present ruling party feels that if women choose to be SAHMs, there is no need for them to be recognized.

Errhhh....forgive my English, I'm not too strong.
I dun follow much of the rallies & I am a 100% supporter of PAP despite all the boo-boos, exclusion, unfairness etc. Guess I am a believer that you cannot please everybody. When I'm a FTWM I want more support for FTWM, when I'm a SAHM , I wish for more support too.....so it all depends on where I am at that moment in time. First time HDB buyers, resale buyers, singles....all will have their own wish/desire/agenda. But there is only so much to go around......so, eventually I look at what PAP has done for the majority, and I think they have done a fairly good job. I have my share of complaints too, but I think there are people who need it more, so I can let go. I have friends who earn ~400K annually but still complaining about not enough and still not feeling satisified with what they have and think Govt should give more Also, they are likely to support opposition :x .... sigh, frankly, I dun understand why
Perhaps I have not seen enough of the world or know/compare enough about other places, but at this point in time, I only want to be in SG (comparing to our neighbouring countries). I know I know, this is not the right place to comment, I'll end here

Agree. 一种米养白种人。Human is never satisfied. No one govt will please everyone.

Actually I kind of welcome the fact that it is finally starting soon .. err.. I mean the SA1 (not GE! GE should start AFTER SA1! I am sure the crowds in rallies will be even larger!!). Each passing of day means 1 paper DOWN!!!! 1 paper less to go No matter how the child did for the paper, what's over is over, careless mistake, challenging questions, etc, are all history. We know they work hard (well, of course we always hope they can work HARDER or more auto-pilot lah!), so just move on ...and celebrate! Hahaha, exam is not over, here I am thinking of how to celebrate already ...

[pixiedust]

I still go rallies leh, starts at 7pm .... Kiddo also needs to eat and rest, right? This is for our country wor !


Want to talk more but I think chief will scold if we write anymore ge stuff on this thread. Better stick to p5 stuff

Most of your kids still paper 1 & paper 2 seperate days. Mine same day since p3. Psle also paper 1&2 same day, right?
