Singapore Election Campaigns PAP vs Opposition

The battle has began! All wards are contested except one walkover (GE 2011 contests link)
While rushing for an appt with my retiree friend Nelson at Jurong West ,
saw a lot of MIW men /women in white when i passed by JJC .

Nomination Day 27 April 2011 (Wed) : PAP supporters Gathering @ Jurong West Blk 538 , next to JJC

MIW (men in white) supporters Outside JJC on nomination day!

A rubbish collector stucked outside JJC gate.

I thgt they are from RI or some sort of institutions.
Upon me closer examination reveals that they are PAP supporters and candidates.

These PAP members and supporters drew my attention as they are "making waves"
(sounds) at the viod deck of HDB flat next to Jurong Junior College. 

I'v never seen such a mass gathering at a hdb area in my life.

Later when it was announced in the afternoon that there will be a contestant from the opposition SDP, a PAP's vehicle is seen patrolling around Boon Lay broadcasting the party's message in various languages which include Dialect, Chinese , Cantonese, Malay and Tamil during the evening about 6pm.
I guess its from the PM and his election candidates .

See video below.

The SDP vehicle is also seen installing the party's posters and flags symbols on lamp posts along Jurong East Ave 1 quite late around 6pm while all the PAP posters are already up the lamp posts before 5pm!

Neon Lights Bicycle

We have neon lights kites in the skies, now there are also flashing neons on land.
This male cyclist likes to ride around Jurong West in neon lightings!
Maybe he is worried that the cars and bikes can't see him clearly at night.
Wonder when can i start riding such a beautiful bike?



Maid in Singapore Really Good At Multi Tasking

Our domestic helpers in Singapore really deserves another look and our praises.
They are not only good in multi-tasking ... carry bags for NS man, etc

Now they can also handle 2 big dogs... this maid i bump into @ WestWood (near Gek Poh).

When will our young boyz be like them, handling 2 things at one go?

Power Slogan Ad

Recently while doing some advertisments around Harbour Front, saw this one-of-a-kind
A4 notice paper ad pasted onto a power box managed by Sg Power.

It reads:
"Absolute Power Corrupts ...Govt Eyes Plasterd by $... etc"

I wonder why the advertiser didn't leave down his number and email?

At least can contact him to write some ads... lol

Skechers Girls At Jurong Point

Nowadays businesses really are good at coming up with creative ideas to attract buyers.

Take for  example the recent show at Jurong Point from 22 to24 April 2011.
Catwalk time slots: 230pm, 530pm, 730pm

They had healthy girls dressed as sport women with a heart shape stick to their bottoms.

This are the sport shoes they are trying to promote

and sandals

Logo reads something like: "Let Your Bottom Half  Be Your Better Half."

I asked my  friend Nelson what's that ?
He just smile and says it's just another show.

Is Begging More Professional Now

There's seem to be more young ones asking for money on Sg's streets recently, isn't it?


Just yesterday on the eve of Good Fri 21 Apr while meeting up with an old friend Quek
in Choa Chu Kang, one young man dressed in polo shirts and short pants approached me
pointing one of his fingers at me.

I thought he is scolding me or challenging me for a fight.
When I enquired what is it regarding, he replied me "10cents pleassseee".
I ask why he needed 10cents , is it for toilet entry? He told me it's for him to buy some food.
My mind immediately told me he is begging for money, straight away refuse his requests.

Then on a Good Friday's platinum club gathering with 3 kaki friends in Jurong Point's MOS Burger outlet,
a young lady dressed in an orange shirt approached my friend Ee who's sitting next to me during our conversations.

I continued my converstion with Quek and Nelson while this young lady was busy engaging a heart-to-heart talk with Ee. I quietly asked Quek and Nelson do they know this lady who's talking to Ee?

Both shaked their heads at me. I became a bit blur as to why this young lady came to talk to us...

i managed to take a photo of this young lady beggar
while I order my food at MOS Burger in Jurong  Point

I then turned my attention to Ee and enquire who is this young lady in orange. To my surprise, Ee doesn't even know her. My friend Ee thought that I and Quek knew this young lady as he saw her smiling at both Quek and myself. Later I realised this young lady asked Ee for 50 cents and Ee handed her S$2 instead.
Throughout the episode this lady did not reveal her name , she just told us she is 26 years old which i doubt so. She said something like all of us old men here can become young one day and etc,etc. She even asked Ee if he can take her out for a meal later.

She even sat next to my friend Nelson after Ee gave her S$2. I thought she will leave after getting what she wants, never in my mind did i expect her to sit amongst us as we have some personal mattters to discuss.
She said she likes to converse and hang out with "elderly people" like us.

I hope she is not going around asking for money with an ulterior motive when she can still work or worse still , becoming a 'social escort' or engaging in some kind of illegal activities.

Singaporeans during the eve of a public holiday (22 Apr 2011 - Good Fri)!

Girls Sleeping in National Library Buidling (Victoria Street)

While surfing wirlessly on my Zi00 tablet, can't take my eyes off at this
pair of girls sleeping soundly in National Library Buidling (Victoria Street).

There are so many users in this library that I can't believe they can dozed off...

I remebered I was being waken up by a lady security officer while fallen asleep
at Jurong West Library and i was told we are not allowed to sleep in a library.

Its time to wake up these gals. ;)
