6th may.
today is polling day for singapore.
whether the ruling party will win by how much, no one would know. They might lose a few seats, looking at how singpaporeans react in the more active areas. i was taking a cab down to kallang fro my training this morning, and the cabbie uncle was goin on how we shouldn't vote for the ruling party, and how the Lee s were bad people, oppressing the normal citizens, taking money out of the people's pocket and giving 6 billion dollars to hsien yang, hsien loong's brother. its kind of funny that singaporeans tend to being left rather than right. changes, inequality, singaporeans on the whole, do not really like. i guess that means singpapore is still very much a conservative country, where we do things without thinking out of the box, or being quite parochial. i'm not saying i do not belong to this kind of people, but i do know that i TRY to think about some of the issues, policies raised by the ruling party and those of the opposition. seriously, through the eyes of the singpaore media, straits times and channel asia and all, i guess the ruling party still, is much better in the opposition in being far-sighted, and acting for change. for the better? i don't know. as it will depends on the citizens on how they will react to the policies. but the ruling party had better give more progress packages to the people, and stop running budget surpluses for long periods. government runs a budget deficit once in a few years, increase the aggregate expenditure function through increase in government expenditure. national income of singaporeans will increase through the multiplier process(even though our multiplier constant is so small) then our aggregate demand will increase, leading to an increase in real income. more money for us to spend, then the acceleration process will take place. its economics at the most basic level of understanding. i'm not that educated enough in economics to say in detail, but the jizz of it is there la. thanks.
anyway, training : raining in the morning, first part of training was done in the rain. ha. i know i shouldn't be in the rain, but there's no choice, i had to cox for them. it was my first time coxing a 24 men boat, and it was difficult. i tried to row with the year 2s for the starts, as it seemed so enticing to whack. but i disappointed myself, i couldn't row as good as before. the 30 starts, i could only hit to 20 strokes before i died down. the race sets was much worse, because my maintenance strokes became shorter and shorter, and i knew it. but i could not lengthen my stroke, i'm not good enough. i felt damn sad. really. it was really quite painful to know that i couldn't help my boat go faster, instead drag it down. i want to train hard, so i can catch up and improve, but the present state of me is still bad. hai. but i'll try my best.
today my first day taking nitix CEM3. felt not much of a difference, but i hope it will turn out good. its supposed to appear after a week of taking. so, i'm hoping. hope.
well, she smsed me today. telling me something that i should do. not directly. but i think i know what she means. but tis just that, i think i'm not good enough. most of the time guys will feel this way? ha. i think so ba. but honestly, i do like her. i will buck up. haha. i'll try. =)
