Beach Rally

i am realli outdoing myself tis time. will die in office tomolo from lack of sleep...tink i need to drink gallons of teh-c to keep myself alert.

but too fired up to sleep wifout completing my posts.

went to the beach rally at east coast park last evening wif mum & the 2 kids in tow.

didn't step out of the house on Sun but the heavy rain in the afternoon was making mi undecided abt whether to go out at all on mon.

suddenli, my mum announced at abt 6 tat the rain has stopped miraculously.

we quickly got out of the house & headed for east coast park for the rally.

as usual, the carparks near D1 were all full. D1 was filled wif police vehicles, got riot buses & lotsa police cars.

i parked at the public carpark after mac. ya, it's a long walk but wat to do.

we walked over to mac for dinner & i tabao-ed some fries for the kids to munch on during the rally.

by the time we walked over to the rally site, it was coming to 8. but there were still many ppl walking there from all directions. some walked from the same direction as us ( from mac ) while others came from the marine parade underpass.

Sea of umbrellas

we were greeted by a sea of umbrellas when we got near the rally site. considering the muddy & soggy field at ubi, the beach site is considered a lot drier. at least there were parts of the pavement one could stand on.

mum urged mi to move forward so we can see the stage. where got so easy when so many ppl ard?

I apologise

the best joke of the nite muz b gomez's opening line.

he went 'firstly, i want to apologize'
the crowd kept quiet
'for the rain!'
the crowd went wild at tis point and clapped loudly...laughter filled the air
he went on to say tat he would haf picked a drier mth for elections if he had a choice.

lousy tactics, haben lost but behaving like sore loser

i had lunch wif ivy & gang tdy.
i told her tat loyang is under east coast grc coz i saw the posters when i turned out of pasir ris.

i didn't expect her to say how sick she was of hearing ppl harping on the Gomez incident.
it shows how scared some party is when they kept at the same point. like a mad dog tat keeps biting on something & refuses to let go.

especially when the ppl haf accepted the apology

we haf eyes to see & minds to tink & make a judgement.
there were claims tat tis incident shows the kind of character Gomez is.
leave tat to us voters to decide
when some ppl keep harping on it, it oso shows us wat kind of character they are!
and when u call for him to withdraw, it makes us wonder if u r being a sore loser in advance.
are u so afraid of Gomez and his team tat u need to resort to tis?

if u haf nuthing else to offer mi except criticism of ur opponent, i m beli disappointed wif u.

if u didn't tink out ur 5 yr plans carefully, how can i trust u to take care of mi & my family in the next 5 yrs? i m reading the manifestos & impressed by the better written one.

frenz, i urge u to b a responsible voter & read the manifestos for urself.

why i brought the kids along

i need to 'open' their eyes & minds and teach them how to make a judgement by themselves.

i had to show them wat TV & newspaper cannot report.

i cannot allow them to grow up wif onli the information, tat the government or the ruling party for tat matter, wants them to hear.
