I sit today yearning Of moments lost Not that of a Champion League title that went to Barcelona But the moments reignited when I met the wanderin muse Malika Moments of pure joy in our hearts No other could invoke Than beautiful rhythms of the djembe & invitin percussions Swayin bodies Hypnotizin beats Ganja is of no need
In those moments I was lost In those moments I let loose In those moments I feel peace In those moments I unleash my dormant soul In those moments I found me
Last nite I read that Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew & Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong have decided to vacate their posts respectively. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shall now be the sole leader to steer our country along with the newly formed cabinet after the General Election.
Is this an exciting new beginning for our Nation? It seems like the Elders are finally listening and finally takin the initiatives to step down gracefully instead of fear-mongering. They have learnt that we are NOT afraid of change...we WANT change!
We dunno for sure what it'll be like in the future, with new directions & new style of leadership. And with all things New, we cannot expect things to be all that perfect either, so we shall learn along the way as a Nation. I hope Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will be the present day inspiration of change, similar to or better than his daddy was some years ago. Everyone of us shall remember the elders' contributions to buildin tis nation in the past, no doubt but right now, it is time for our Prime Minister to shine. And for PAP to fulfill their promise to "transform" the party for the better for the people! Also for the opposition parties to up their acts & show that they are worth the seats won for the parliament.
I shall always remember GE2011, it is special even though i was denied the chance to vote. Tis felt somewhat like V for Vendetta, the juggernauts have fallen! Power to the People & Viva la Revolution!
No surprises...PAP won the overall election but this time, it got Hammered by the Workers Party in Aljunied thus losin two nice dudes, George Yeo & Zainul Abideen Rashid and now we shall have more oppositions sittin in the Parliament to ketuk kepala kerajaan in case it falls "asleep" & did not listen to the people. This election is one helluva excitin one...from bein apathetic, I actually bothered to listen to rallies (on YouTube)! Young candidates like Nicole Seah & Tin Pei Ling were sensations, be it gettin good or bad publicity for their respective parties. But i'm pretty disappointed that after all these years, i'm still denied of voting thanx to the existence of the Wise Old Man in Tanjong Pagar.Well I won't be discussin who should win or who should have gotten kicked out instead & all, enuff of tt already.
Here I would like to compile some of the best vids made by my fellow Singaporeans to mark this historic event. Some time ago it was said, Singaporeans cannot think out of the box...now when we do, we are said to be disrespectful/ungrateful of the past. Well it doesn't matter what the naysayers says, eventually we'll figure things out along the way...life as it is, is filled with changes & struggles...who says it'll be easy if we are to be a First World country? Therefore I quote Mr Chen Show Mao...MAJULAH SINGAPURA UNTUK SEMUA!!
And Mr Returning Officer...Please return to announce the results of our next election, u Hot stuff!! Ur pokerface, ur perfect hair parting, ur monotonous voice...How in the world u made us all listen? Extraordinaire indeed!! Thank u for servin the Nation so late at nite! U the Man!
