Guilt.

Oh, well, it seems as though i really won't be able to get my 8 posts this month. Anw, perfectionism aside, there's kinda nothing much to talk about... >.< Nothing's really happening in my life!! And perhaps that's the problem, because stuff (like PW) is supposed to happen... Which explains the title of the post.

So I'm not going to dwell on PW, but it's safe to say that i just spent the entire of today (it's 7.30pm now)sleeping and reading various stuff (2 copies of Time, 4 sets of newspapers, 4 Chinese essays). Oh, and reading the darned things somehow isn't really helping my languages. my GP score for the latest compre is less than that of both my current best friends! So sad... I hope there's at least a subtle change that justifies trying to dig my way out through a knee-deep sea of words every day and setting back all other subjects...

Oh, and the presidential elections results are probably going to be up at about midnight. Announced by Returning Officer Yam Ah Mee (why is he a Returnng Officer, anyway? What does it mean? Why is Prof. Tommy Koh an Ambassador-At-Large? ._________.") will be a triumphant Tan. Well, not me, at the very least. Honestly, if I were of voting age, I'd be absolutely clueless as to who to vote for. So many imputs from a myriad of sources... The newspaper (which my senior claims is shallow, which is true to a certian extent); TOC (full of people pushing for their favourite Tan and slamming most others, especially Dr. Tony Tan); my friends; my parents (my mother's working in PA and listens to people complaining about how the entire presidential elections is simply 'wayang wayang' (Chinese drama) and that the Government just wants to show the people and foreign countries that Singapore has a choice of presidential hopefuls, when in fact they're all affilated to the PAP at one point or another in their lives).
So I guess i'm spared from agonising over who to vote for for now... I shall wait and see how the new President carries out his duties. Hopefully the actions taken will be enough to quell the cynics and push for a better Singapore.
