Of We (the people), the Resilient Ones
It’s getting a weebit too cosy don’t you think ;P
We didn’t say anything when someone scooted off to pick up a skill with his own money.
We didn’t say anything when the scooting was a happy family event even though it was splashed all over the national paper.
We didn’t say anything when someone said it’s not difficult to take 5 weeks off work.
Yet it would be foolish to remain holding our tongues when someone else comes along and condescends the “lesser mortals”.
Dear Ministers, since I am lesser, would you be more? What?! You’re not here to grandstand? If I’m greater, would you still be so gainfully employed?
Ahhhh… That felt real good. Afterall, it would be bad luck or plain ‘suay’ to carry grieviances from the previous year over to the new year.
We have been warned that this could be one of Singapore’s worse recession. Yes, times are bad. But the wailing baby still needs to get fresh diapers and milk. The young adult graduating needs to know that the world still has a spot for him to make it his shithole. The working adults need to slog on and be taken for granted. The greyed folks may not have the luxury to sit on cushy seats to watch their grandchildren take their very first step. Life must still go on amidst this crisis.
So before the 144th and failing press keeps going about how bad it would be (and possibly worse elsewhere), let’s take a step back and take comfort in the warm reunion dinner. For the next few months, the smiles on your loved ones may be strained by work and the gloom. Nevertheless, the smiles around the table tonight will be a reward to pressforth.
We have his assurance for now. Here’s an image for posterity.
To 2009 and beyond resilient ones.
Thanks for reading,
the B.
P.S Have a good long weekend. moo!

WTF ! How come all chinese dish, no french dish ?
Tan spend five weeks learning french cooking and yet there is not a single french crusine on the table ! It is a waste of taxmoney to pay him so much to learn his french cooking and yet no result is produced.
Where is Lim Swee Say ? Sweet Say over reunion dinner will be very romantic.

Who’s the nobody between Tan Yong Soon and Wee Shu Min? What did he do to deserve a place in the table of elitists? Ng Swee Say should be there for his “I feel rich because my CPF is safe” speech. Or Raymond Lim’s “You want free transport, I give you 8.5% GST!!” threat.
Anyhows, forget them crap and and let’s focus on our own happiness, wishing each other Year Year Got Fish!!
