For the very busy Singaporean who has no time to go to all the rallies, because while they are still stuck queing up at the ATMs to check for their progressive package... :D

on the coming Parlimentary elections in Singapore

Some thoughts on the Genaral Elections fever that's gripping the nation...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Was following the CNA coverage on the Nomination Day process yesterday at home. Think the presenters were not very "zai"; for some of them, probably it's the first time. Spotted a boo boo. Think one of the announcers mistook Mr. Ng Eng Hen for Mr. Teo Chee Hean. Of course, could be a hearing problem on my part; nonetheless, don't think I would have mistaken hearing between an "Ng" sound and a "Teo" soound.  Have posted Mr. Ng and Mr. Teo's picture in this thread. I guess from afar they do look similar...

So must give the presenters some leeway. Afterall, not many SIngaporeans can claim to know all their ministers of Parliament (MPs) by name. Me myself, I only know Dr. Tony Tan by face in my Sembawang GRC for the past 10 over years. A pity he'll be retiring from politics from this year onwards. Watched him since I was a kid in kidnergarten in this area. Some got some emotional value attached to my MP.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My dad was griping that the SDP is coming to Sembawang GRC to contest.

(See http://ge2006.channelnewsasia.com/contest.php?walkover=no&yearelection=2006&typeofconst=grc&recordindex=3) 

I guess for him, the SDP's credibility really plumetted after the recent fiasco over Dr Chee Soon Juan's newsletter lawsuit.* Ah well, more news will come out over this over these few days, i guess...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ahahah, the PAP van came and made their politcal broadcasts last night at around 10pm.  Me and my brother had a good laugh over the message that was balsted through the megaphone. Sounded very anchaic and propagandish. Well, did wanna say that they did broadcast at a really weird time. I know most of the people would be at home at around 10-nish, but don't you think it's a bit late to be braodcasting your party's slogan so looud at night?

Went to two of my favorite sites on Singaporean political commentaries. But no new updates as yet.

Well, that's all for now. Gotta go and look at some more news on CNA...

AJC Family Day

Start:	Apr 22, '06 8:30a
End:	Apr 22, '06 12:30p
Location:	Anderson Junior College

Anderson Junior College is having its annual Family Day on 22 April 2006. The event will be held 8.30am to 12.30am. This is a day for both students and staff to bond and enjoy themselves as a family via participation in games and setting up of food stalls. We're hoping to raise $3,000 from AJ Family Day for the AJC Alumni Bursary Fund. The fund, managed by AJC Alumni Association Exco, serves needy ex-AJCians studying at NUS, NTU or SMU. Only $11,000 has been raised for the fund since it was set up in 2005, with one bursary award given each year to a deserving ex-AJCian. This supports our college motto (Non Mihi Solum - "not for myself alone") with seniors and juniors supporting that fund for AJCians in their tertiary education.

In addition, Family Day aims to create bonding amongst our AJ members through a day of fun and games. The main highlights for the day include:



- Jamming Band

- Bungee Frenzy Theme Park Rides

- Futsal Street Soccer Competition

- Dodge-Paint Ball Booth

- Lan Gaming Booth

- PS2 and Xbox Booth

- Dunking Booth

- Haunted House



So come along and join us at AJC on 22 April 2006. We hope to see you here.
