Currently back on blogging. But I'm not going to be constantly updating it, maybe once every full moon? Ok, I'm quite cold nowadays, in a sense. So this place will feel quite cold with all my silly rants, so please bear with me. =)

Been busy with the mid-year examinations. Totally unprepared for it... Maybe its for us to examine how good we can do whilst not studying for it? End results will always be disastrous, so its time to buck up already. Preliminaries is approaching as soon as you think 6 minutes is long to wait for a MRT.

Also, the General Elections just concluded recently... PAP back into the government body. Not that I dislike them, but I feel its beneficial to have about 15-20 out of the 84 seats in Parliament to be opposition members. Reason being that policies introduced by PAP can undergo a deeper level of stringency by opposition questioning the points that can make the policy/bill even better.

In my area, there's a new face serving here, pretty young to be a politician at 29. What's the deal? We already have a 27-year-old in Parliament right? *smile* Has it advantages though, like how I sent an email to him and feedback-ed on the poor transport system in my area. I've noticed people commenting on this constituency's facebook page on how they will be drenched when walking home from the MRT Station. All this would be lessened if trunk bus services had been introduced right? I've been around this place for close to 16 years, although I must say a lot of improvements had been made such as the introduction of Yew Tee Point, more condominiums etc. But 1 thing that remained the damn same is the transport. There were 301, 302, 305 and 307 about 14 years ago. Now? Only 302 and 307 remains, taking away 2 other feeder services. And the only way to get out of this suburban area? By train. So no matter how many trains LTA is going to roll out during peak hours, what use is it going to serve?

Of course, if my stand is not backed by other residents, my small little puny 'voice' might not be heard. However, I got a reply from him on how he will be working will relevant agencies on this. Hope I'll finally be able to hop on a trunk bus service right at my doorstep within 5 years or else.... =)
