GE Poem by Ong Ah Bee
Recently, my white MP,
nok on my door, and very kekki..
Say ‘I’ve worked so hard, so vote for me’,
‘Or rubbish won’t be cleared, in your vicinty’..
I said ‘Dear MP of my GRC’,
‘Dun remember u, so please pardon me’..
‘I only saw you on TV’,
‘Dozing off and jiakliao bee’..
Last GE I voted for thee,
2% up in GST..
Cut CPF and up utility,
Are still very clear in my memory..
5 years later, then you come to me,
Fresh from your slumber of ivory..
Say that only, you can help me,
Escape from a life of poverty..
Just take a drive on CTE,
Count the number, of all the gantries..
Or squeeze a ride on the MRT,
That has not been cleared for me
My life since the last GE,
Has been downhill though I voted PAP..
If I vote the same for your sleeping spree,
I can expect the same misery..
So! this time round, I vote for somebody,
Who will kachiao you, to productivity..
Forms fill wrong, no big deal to me,
If there’s someone to speak up for ah bee..
So dear MP of GRC,
If life no improve, vote u chosimi?

*Looks forlornly at them*
*Looks at ankle*
I'm such a walking klutz. Good news is that I didn't sprain my ankle. Bad news is that I injured a ligament. Don't ask me how I managed to do so. I was walking fine one minute and the next, I felt a sharp pain at my Achilles heels and side. Ok...no pain killers, nothing at all. All I have to do is continue wearing my ankle guard until it is back to normal.
*sigh*

You can shop for Oct 1983's products via its Facebook page! It has the usual shopping cart and you get to choose payment mode! Best thing is that the prices stated are cheaper than on the website! As the programme has not debug their landscape photos, some photos aren't as clear as those on Oct 1983's website www.oct1983.com.sg.
Do take a quick view and happy shopping!!
Went to the Botanical Gardens last week to walk Baileys and just get some family bonding time. First thing we saw when we entered the gardens was this...
Still don't know what that is? It's a banana plant with a freaking LONG 'branch' full of bananas!! The thing is as tall as my mum!! Unbelievable!!!
Oooh...ducklings! Oh 'swanlets' as I like to call them. :)
My prince - Baileys. Looking mighty happy with the smells and the chance to romp around the gardens.
Ooh...what did Baileys see? The mother swan??
I can't believe that we walked for nearly 3 hours...after the walk, we went to Dempsey for a nice lunch.
Note: if you have pets, only Olio Dome and Jones the Grocers have outdoor seating. Jones the Grocers does not allow reservations and it's always packed for Sunday brunch so do go early. I wanted to go to House BUT House doesn't open their alfresco dining area until dinner service. I prefer to have my meal at Dempsey rather than the Botanical Gardens because the prices are more reasonable and you don't have to queue to buy your own food. :D
Now...where else can I bring Baileys for a nice walky??

I know that I haven't been blogging lately and it is kind of depressing to end my hiatus on this note. I am sure that all of you have heard of the devastation of the earthquake and tsunami in north-eastern Japan. I urge everyone to pray that there will be more survivors found.
I am glad to know that all my friends in Japan are safe and sound. In fact, I will be taking a trip to Japan in May and am going to arrange meetups with them.
In the meanwhile, let us all do our part and help Japan get back to her feet as soon as possible either in our prayers or donations to the Red Cross Society (www.redcross.org). Do note that the minimum donation sum is US$10.
