what's wrong with society

PS-If you click on my link just to have a good read and maybe a laugh or two, please read the entry below this. It talks about the Transport system in Singapore.

I dun have much time, I have to wake up early for shoot tomorrow so I got to make whatever I want to say quick.

Lately I have been pondering over the things that have been happening around me, a lot more than usual. Some of you may have noticed that, some of you may know that and some of you may be surprise to hear that. In any case, it is true.

I know some of my friends, people that I actually do care about have been like undergoing difficult times in life. Some more difficult than others. A number of them have been having such a feeling in their heart for a long time which some are experiencing it for their first time. The problems of course differ from people to people.

Notice I have not even come close to mentioning any names so far. Well it is not that I don't want to personalised my entry to specific people. I know that writing out specific names and sending them an encouragement via blog can be very encouraging indeed. However that is still not a long-term solution to problems, many internal stuggles that we face lay right beneath us. Way deeper than we will choose to admit.

If it was up to me, I will definitely take all of your pain away. But Timo is no God. I can't do it.

If you get what I am saying then you do, if not then you don't.

Post Election Goodies

Yes the elections may have just been like over two months ago, but it doesn't take the shameful Public Transport system of Singapore too long to try improve their profit margin. Comfort Delgro has taken the first step into ensuring that the next five years will be a glorious harvest by increasing it's fare significantly though you might think it is only $2.40 to $2.50 if you read The Straits Times too often.

The Public Transport Council though has managed to come out with a deceptive idea to trick Singaporeans into believing that they the situation in Singapore will improve. The cleverly crafted new guidelines for SBS buses may sound intelligent and appeal attractively to idiots like Mah Bow Tan, but it definitely doesn't fool anyone who even bother to think a bit.

One of the new guidelines which is in place states that 85% of bus services should not deviate more than 5mins then their supposed arrived timing.

1) Firstly what kind of ridiculous guideline place a new rule without revealing what the current statatstic is. For all we know, the current average might be 90% and 85% will end up being a drop in standard. But never mind, I shall give the PTC/SBS the benefit of the doubt for this one.

2) Yes 85% of buses may come on time on average, but there are probably gonna be the feeder service that goes 30mins runs and not your service that travels longer distance, for example 168. So basically Bus 168 that goes from tampinese to woodlands can come later all the time as long as the feeder service bus comes on time.

3) Really who give a shit if a bus arrive on time or not? It's not like "oh 168 is suppose to come 11.50am, I came here at 11.47am and it's already 11.56am. Why is the bus not here?" The dumbass at PTC are definitely the only one's in Singapore who thinks singaporeans know what time their buses are coming. Yes they got some weird name technology that nobody knows about that will inform you what time the next bus is arriving. But nobody really knows how to use them nor do they wanna pay 50cents to know that their bus is coming at 11am even though it is 11.05am already.

Please don't make things complicating, just increase the freaking frequency of the service and that is enough. We don't need any TV mobile or new buses that have more standing room and less seats.

To PTC, Get the hell out of making all this deceitful new guidelines when they won't make any difference. Just stay with your current portfolio of pretending to consider every fare hike application before saying yes to it. Do what you do best.

FAQ with Timothy Ho

If SBS is going to increase it's fare today, will you be in support of it?

Ans: That is a difficult question but I will have to say yes. Considering the fact that service will never improve unless we helpless consumer pay for it. For example just today, I waited 25 mins for 168 before it arrives on my way to woodlands. To top things off, it was a useless short bus that came, luckily of course i managed to squeeze a seat for myself if not i would have to stand for 35 mins on a rocking bus.

On my way back to tampinese, I managed to improve by waiting 30mins and therefore missing my favorite TV show. Unfortunately the TV mobile TV wasn't working on the bus so i did not get a chance to even catch a lousy repeat Singapore Idol telecast.
Therefore I will definitely support any price hike, even to the extend of $1 if it will save me from such a horrifying experience again.

Alternatively, i can also choose to take the 1h25min ass hurting MRT ride, the $19 dollar taxi ride or the 40km walk home.

waste 2 minute of your life now

I met a classmate of mine, Deanna, on the MRT yesterday and we had a nice chat on the way to work. Yeah, WORK even though we are suppose to be classmates. Funny eh.

Anyway we were chatting and I was telling her that everyone from class now is either 1) very busy with work or 2) too depressed with life. Though I can't remember what her respond was, I am relatively sure she agreeed with me. To motivate ourselves, we promised each other we are gonna hang out with one another after IPP, so remember ar deanna!

I can count with one hand the amount of people enjoying work..the first one without doubt is Miss Zhang Xinyi. Probably the most fortunate person on attachment, she enjoys her time at work while the rest of us have to drag our sorry asses to office everyday. Also the trio of guys at MDA also seemed to be having the time of their life.

And just to make this entry worser than it already is. I am gonna end it here. It is a typical entry to personify a demeaning period of life.

Singaporeans says NO to democracy

Your vote have spoken! Pretense Democracy reign once again for the next 5 years. Singaporeans all over the country will once again have Mah Bow Tan for another term in office.

5 things Singaporeans did vote for in the recent election

1) Hike in Public transport, hike in power price and just about hike in everything that gets used everyday from every household

2) A strong mandate for the PAP, which provide even more reasons why GST taxes should go up and CPF contribution should remain excatly where it is despite the 'improving' economy

3) Mah Bow Tan and George Yeo

4) A big reply to the opposition party. No point in bringing up issues (Problems for the PAP) if you are unable to provide any solution to the problems.

5) Another 5 years of Monarchy to Singapore.

The elections did reveal a few things that were once thought of as rumours. Firstly Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the son of former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, admited being unable to manage anything more than 10 opposition member in Parliament. One would think that he can probably manage at most 3 opposition member. What fantastic leadership ability he has.

Also the truth is finally out. The PAP had indeed resorted to using tax payers money to specially attempt to tempt residents of Hougang and Potong Pasir. Money that were supposed to be channelled towards the revamping of the respective areas are not removed simply because the residents there said no to another 5 years of absoloute monarchy. Of course, Mah Bow Tan put it into perspective best when he said "the residents there decided that they were not ready for
it(upgrading) and so we will respect their decision.

What a load of f**K up nonsense. Who will say no to upgrading?They will only say no to Eric Low. Now retired from politics by the way. Never willing to serve, never will serve. Despite Goh Chok Tong recommendations.

With Discrimination now so prominenent in Singapore, discrimination in the form of anyone not pro-PAP being discriminated against either by losing their job as Mr Brown has found out the hard way or being mocked as having 'no solutions' to problems they bring up, it is difficult to see how the state of politics in Singapore can get any worst.

Honestly the wimps at SMRT should heed the advice of one guy who commented on the CNA forum. "if they want to increase the fare, just say so lah. No need to give us blah blah blah reasons"

PS: A full flege political/Anti-PAP blog would soon be coming. That blog sole intend would be to act as a check and balance to the bias reporting done by The Straits Times.

blog cleaning.....

Okay I will admit, the rumours are true....many have suspected it for a long time but I will come out clean and say it today


This Blog Is Lost

You see serious politics in one entry, an angry boy in the next, a day of my life in another and me feeling depress as well. Unlike other bloggers who either blog about a certain topic, or talk about how their life has been...or about their spiritual journey, mine have absolutely no direction at the moment.

Of course it doesn't help when I am not sure who are reading my blog and who are not.

Some housekeeping issues for me to settle first. I want to remind everyone reading here that I am personally issueing an NC-16 rating on my blog....and I am not trying to be funny here. We have all heard about how bloggers have the responsiblity to self-censor their own blog since and so here I am taking personal responsblity of my own blog and posts. If you are below the age of 16, I strongly discourage you from visiting my blog until you have had your sweet 16.

Reasons for such a decision you might ask. Well firstly, as you may have noticed over the last couple of entries. I have a tendancy to use words that could be considered as offensive to many.

Also since I do touch on 'sensitive' topics such as politics from time to time, I have no wish to influence a not so mature mind, unlike the People Action Party (PAP) who unethically uses education in the form of Social Studies to manipulate students to favour their party. In fact some of you younger people may have already know that I tend to not go so much into details into Singapore Politics even if you should ask me. I will just tell you to go find out for yourself.

Finally for all those out there who tend to disagree with my view, let me just remind you that on this blog. The only person who has the "RIGHTS' to say what is correct and what is wrong is me and only me. While almost anyone is welcome to give their opinion...these opinion better not be dumb comments seeking to just irritate me. Such comments will of course be ignored as usual and should anyone attempt to act like a basterd like BECKY on Dinesh' s blog....the person better watch out and not let me find out who he/she is....

Hopefully I do not sound too threatening....and for all of you who are below 16 reading. Catch you again on this blog when you have turned 16!

THe pride of PAP

*Post have been edited*

Just for the record, I have actually edited this entry so if the words doesn't seemed to sound right together, you know why. I will go on record to admit that some of the vocabs i used in the previous edition was kinda out of place and typed in the heat of the moment. Therefore I thought it is only appropiate that I removed them. Of course, the frightenening thought of having to contribute to the SCV monthly fee or not having EPL does seemed to make me consider over what I had previously said.

The Marketing manager, Airtime director, and Programming Executives all deserved a big THUMP on their back for a bloody well done job so far. By cutting to advertisements straight after the match have ended, Starhub has ensured that it's advertisers get maximum value out for their advertisers.

For your information, you can thanks macdelivery and LG for all those advertisements right after the match. Plus the idiots giving their dumb comments on who will win the world cup.
