THREE CHEERS FOR PAP!

i must say im really delighted with the election results!
first up. there isnt any change to the number of places pap has in parliament. BUT im somewhat glad the votes in several SMCs and GRCs went down by a small percentage. no. i am not being sadistic. no ive not changed loyalties- im happy because this would probably serve as a wake up call to those MPs. if you ask me, i think they *are* quite affected by the sliding number of votes. it says quite a bit about their future grip on power. haha. wouldnt you take some precautions if you were the government? to me, its only natural.

oh and anyway, the media wouldnt portray a worried and anxious government, would it? *grins* who owns the media?

was watching the results show in anticipation. haha! i was really quite excited for pap, praying and hoping that george yeo and lee hsien loong wouldnt lose their seats. (although i was pretty sure the pm wouldnt anyway! like duh. so much for the "suicide squad" eh?) hahaha!
surely, it isnt easy being a foreign minister. i suppose george yeo's doing a relatively commendable job in keeping diplomatic ties with other countries at the moment. admittedly, i dont have much impressive knowledge to show that he IS doing a great job. BUT, as far as im concerned, i havent heard any big hoo-haas or any major dissatisfaction. in my opinion, as long as the tide is low and calm, i'll always be supportive of him. plus! hes quite a nice guy, really.

i believe a foreign minister holds a really important post. our country's reputation is in his hands. it concerns how the world will in turn treat us when we're in their land. in other words, hes kinda an ambassador for us.

as for lee hsien loong- im sure actions speak louder than words! i neednt say more about his contributions during the past decade.

oh man. (pause) something GREATER caught my attention.
today's Lifestyle. L5:

bard of course: if you have $7.3 million to spare, you can bid for this First Folio edition of Shakespeare's plays, which is one of the most important books in English literature, at Sotherby's in London in July. The bard's identity is still being hotly debated, four centuries after his death.

"Because Shakespeare lived so long ago, it's more difficult to prove definitively whether something is the case or something isnt the case," Leman said. "This is one reason it's so easy to come up with conspiracy theories".

hmm. shakespeare was a woman? bisexual? im sure chan would be really interested to find out. (: haha! that was why fun shakespeare was introduced as part of the module, constituting to 15% of the entire marks?!

what about Shakespeare's ability to transcend time? what IF, like they said, Shakespeare is not really shakespeare? what if he were Christopher Marlowe or Sir Francis Bacon? haha! that would be fun! he would then be, as the englishman suggested, a plagarist of his time!

hahahahaha! the article was so hilariously funny that i couldnt stop laughing while reading. it seemed so relevant to the module i took last semester. okay. purleaseee! what would chan say? she will most probably read this anyway!

who wants to spend $7.3 million on the first folio? i can read it from the footnotes of a $20 book! hahaha! like okay! for what?! crazy! do you know how many things i can buy with $7.3 million dollars?! haha! a dream car, a mansion, a grand piano, lotsa lotsa musical instruments. or better still, i could donate some money to the poor and deprived. why wouldl i want to spend it on a dead man who indirectly caused a fall in my CAP? i dont give a shit on how the man was canonised. hello!

the only thing i took away from my module last semester-
Shakespeare has the ability to transcend time,
Shakespeare can cross cultures and boundaries.

hmm. so maybe im not a true lover of shakespeare's works after all.
what else? hahaaha! thats all.
