OMG PEOPLE. LKY is coming for our kent ridge ministerial forum this year. yes, the man himself. i didnt go for last years one, cos i pulled out i really cant remember why. well i dunno why im so excited, really. maybe cos ive never seen him speak in person before. maybe i wanna see if real life holds up to accounts. well yeah, admittedly he spoke at the event a couple of years before. but i didnt know it and all. so.. yup. but, its one thing im not gonna miss this year.
i wonder when we'll get an opposition member as guest of honour though.

thank god for AWESOME. yes hank, my life is a little bit better. =) butbutbut.. do i qualify to be a nerdfighter? =/
anyways. so we're doing this public policy challenge thingy and the topic's on the income disparity in singapore. and i realised that the friend who had the helping other people mini-debate with me late one night, shes not alone in thinking that way. which, i guess, shouldnt come as a surprise huh. all the upper middle class people with upper middle class views and concerns. i was so shocked/surprised when i got my students to write about their holiday and they all wrote about going to malaysia, bintan, etc. and. we dont owe them anything, ultimately its up to the individual to work to better his/her own life. ya larh. i know where youre coming from la. you say, my dad/mum/grandparents/relatives were poor once, they managed to make the best of it, did what they could, etc. and look where they are now. where they are is based on their own hard work. do they owe any part of their success to anyone else? no. and if they can do it, why cant you?
but you know what, do you really know what it is like? okay, if it were my dad saying it, i guess maybe he has some right to? he did sorta make it from kampung nothingness to current somethingness. but who are you (or i) to say? for each person who succeeds, there has to be a person who "fails". for after all, what is success in the abscence of failure? i think its really easy for us in our comfortable lifestyle (well, not really comfortable to us i guess. theres always that dress i want, or that ipod i need, that bigger house to live in, the retirement fund to put into, and so on. not that its wrong, wanting these things) to assume that people have the resources they need to break out the this low-income cycle. i mean, sure. it doesnt pretty feasible and rational, doesnt it? im just reminded of this blog post i read recently, but i just cant remember where i read it so i can put the link up. the person was interviewing and following the life of a homeless person for i think a day or so. and near the end of the article the person said how draining the whole process of merely surviving from one day to the next was. i felt what its like to not know where youre going to sleep the next day. didnt feel good. in situations like these (or not knowing how to pay the next installment of your home loan etc. one in twelve default on home loans now, btw. that is, after being in arrears for at least three months), how many can find the energy to think OH. i need to upgrade my skills so that i can find a proper job? let alone have the energy to wholeheartedly engage in learning activities. hahaha. just look at my last sems grades can. not excusing my lack of effort la, but still. oh well, i guess think twice before saying, oh people should just try harder.
AND. you know what, i cant believe LKY said this. great god, holy smokes, oh me oh my! YA LARH. we know pap will retain majority larh. but must you be so ungracious in the winning? if i had the chance to vote, well, you know where i'd vote. yes, simply by that statement alone. and out goes the whole idea that we're supposed to be rational actors who make informed choices. oh well, i really do like supporting the underdog. remember friends, the only change we can hope to get is through the ballot box.
