A Post-Election Poem

A little poem I ripped off someone who ripped off someone else. I shall christen it:

LKY, will you just die already?

When they came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I remained silent;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for me,
unfortunately, there was no one left to speak out for me.

I may suck, but they suck more!

Maybe next time when I meet my prospective employer I shall tell him this:

"My grades aren't perfect, but they are not bad what."

Ditto for my sexual prowess...

My Vote

Come Saturday, I will be voting for the opposition for one reason and one reason only:

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Despite these words being known to mankind for almost 2000 years (spoken by the Roman satirical poet Decimus Junius Juvenalis), it is curious how the PAP refuses to acknowledge its common sensical significance. But then again there's that "Misplaced Form" attack they are using huh?

As the saying goes...

If you have nothing good to say... shut the fuck up.

Just like a certain Minister, in a certain country, having a certain general election, with his "Misplaced Form" attack. COME ON?!

With so many pressing issues plaguing our, erm I mean, that certain country (e.g., the alarming increase in corrupt charity officials and tactless first-wives), is that your only campaign issue? Why can't you just sue someone to Pluto as you normally would? Oh wait, you've already done that. Fair enough, "Misplaced Form" attack it is.

As I've always said, that certain Minister's party is usually tolerable except during general elections. When GE comes around, the shit hits the fan and splatters on all and sundry (the fan being the average Singaporean journalist with the journalistic integrity of Joseph Goebbels' Nazi minions). I must say that's not a good way to win votes. And an even less effective way of keeping diarrhoea off your party members' faces. Perhaps their strategy is to blind everyone with excretion.

The Ego Trip

The ego trip is something I do once in awhile when I feel like it. Essentially, it involves picking a place which one wouldn't usually jog to, and then jogging to it.

This would be my third ego trip. I ran to the old SMU campus twice before. But this time I ran to Orchard Road.

Boy was it tiring, but at the same time it gave me time to think and center myself. Afterwards, I must say I felt empowered, even though I was sore all over. I felt liberated, even though I can't really move much anymore.

Be warned however that this probably isn't a very healthy way to exercise. It is simply an exercise of your mental strength and health. Physically, you are surely going to get boils on your foot and creaks in your joints. Not to mention, you'll probably not be able to exercise much for the next week.

So go on and try it. Do it alone, believe me you'll have loads to think about.

Speaking of ego trips, I've also just ended a month long one. And I do feel very much liberated too =)
