election

election

i was very impressed when i come across a particular article in a secular chinese entertainment magazine. and i think it's really funny so i'm gonna try to translate it as accurately as possible.

new meanings in the month of election

worth it! : travel all the way to the rally and got bitten by mosquitoes while standing on the grass patch but suprisingly caught the 4 heavenly kings of the opposition party together!namely Chiam See Tong , Low Thia Khiang, Jeyaretnam and Chee Soon Juan .

Esctatic: everyone gathered legally to hear the opposition firing at the government.

Suspicion: is the expresionless man standing at the corner who fold his arms and doesn't clap a spy?

Rarely: elects trying non stop to speak in dialects.

Smart: prepared your own picnic mat,foldable chairs,tidbits,drinks,rain coat,mini-fan....

Risk: you can say as you pleases, when the letter from the lawyer comes tmr,flee the day after next?

Flirt: start to use your charm to list out all your agendas: upgrading of flats, tax rebate...

Norm: walk-over

Elated: someone actually dare to contest in the constituency one is staying.

Puzzled: suppose to be in the central but listed under constituency in the east

Apathetic: dun even know which constituency one belongs to, not to mention the representatives' names and looks.

Enthusiatic: know all about the nominated mebers, including their horoscope.

Sentimental: still asking bout the wherebouts of Tang Liang Hong .

Grateful: as long as it's white top and bottom we'll support. because "if it wasn't for the thunderbolt,would we have what we have today?"

Angry: as long as it's not white top and bottom we'll support. because " if it wasn't for the
thunderbolt, we won't be having what we have today!"

Rational: who cares what colour is the pants. listen to the speech and tally with the actions.

on the same note, i happen to stumble across the website and found out that the Singapore People's party have their own Youth Impact. haha! if you are interested, it's http://www.spp.org.sg/INDEX%20youth.HTM

and yes i'm very disappointed that for once the residence of Bukit Panjang gets to vote and i can't even though i turned 21. and i get e feeling that some that can are much more apathetic than i am and shouldn't be given the chance to..

Lion in the house?

Was trying to tell Benaiah to be safe if ever the helper tries to harm him. But I guess it is impossible to speak in codes to a child. Mummy: Benaiah, if anything happened , please run to the neighbour to get help. Benaiah: huh? What? Mummy: Like in an emergency? Benaiah: Like a fire? Mummy: yeah, something like that. Or maybe like if somebody is trying to harm you. Benaiah in all seriousness: Like a real lion in the house?

The Road to Healing

For most part of my life that I have cognition, I live with the fear of death. Not my death but death of loved ones. It has been so long, I have more or less just resigned to living with it.  I had vague memory that even as a child, I would cry thinking about the death of my parents. I would go to their bedside and cry while they were sleeping. Now that I think about it, could it be some shows that I have watched because I do recall sobbing uncontrollably over the death of fictional characters in the drama. At the same time I was afraid of ghosts and spirits. I was healed as a youth during an encounter retreat. The facilitator asked me when did I start to be afraid of ghosts and spirits and I said it was attending my first Christian wake as a child when I viewed a dead body for the first time. The facilitator then led me in prayer and since that day, I am no longer afraid of such and was able to be alone in the night.  But still the fear of death of loved ones did not leave me...

To be or not to be feminist?

During Tuesday life group, a recently married young lady mentioned that she is somewhat of a feminist and struggles with the issue of submitting to her husband.  The issue is a complicated one. Firstly, the discourse on feminism is dynamic and many a time laced with emotions. Secondly, the idea of biblical submission is probably not studied or misunderstood. Lastly, one may not really be a feminist or had a submission issue, the root lies somewhere else.  Interestingly, I had on a few occasions been described as a submissive wife although I do not want to probe on the definitions by the people who paid me the compliment/criticism. What they do not know is if they had met the undergraduate me, they would probably think otherwise. The excitement of undergraduate life, the newfound independence and arts education had thrown me into a period of questioning, tears and anger. I had to come face to face on whether my religion is just a clutch, an opium for the society. I do not know ...
