you can fly so high
keep your gaze upon the sky
i will be praying every step along the way
even though it breaks my heart to know
we will be so far apart
i love you too much to make you stay
baby, fly away

this is the hougang rally, courtesy of andrea loh. (: thanks babe.
check it out mans ! i went for the AMK one last night. one hell of an experience. honestly. we were surrounded by every type of singaporean.
from the malays, to the indians, to the ah peks, to aunties, to students (victorians) and to the bourgeoisie. everyone kept chanting.. workers party workers party.. ! it was quite funny in fact, the whole rally experience. the crowd was insane. in terms of size and the things they said and did. everytime the wp slammed PAP on certain events. the crowd burst out cheering, workers party ! workers party !
it was really quite funny. we chanted along too. lols. but when the speakers switched to hokkien. i was lost. jon was the translator for the evening. he's PRO ! tt's my boyfriend for you. the ability to code-switch. HAHA !
ok just to leave you guys with this quote, which im stealing from my asian tigers notes about our famous LKY- lee kuan yew.
[ As a former long time Premier of Singapore, he has come to personify the idea of benevolet authoritarianism, a paternalistic ruler who brooked no dissent but nonetheless guided his city state into the ranks of East Asia's 'little dragons.' ]
is that good or bad. quite ambiguous ehs. as in.. he's an authoritarian, but yet paternalistic. hmmm.. interesting.
