Here we go again...

You know something dear readers?? Its kinda strange that we have to have a gahmen campaign to do something... Remember in the old days???? Courtesy campaign... Road safety campaign and all the jazz... And what do we have in the end????

1) Courtesy campaign: Yea... since the 70's with the lion, how much more courteous are we? Oh yea... maybe the new citizens did not go through the campaign so we are almost as bad as where we started.

2) Road safety Campaign: Now I do not think we even have it... but hey who cares??? If one is killed, we will just jail the driver and import someone else... no los mah... and if the driver is influential or rich, he can drag the case for years and then get a soft slap on the wrist like several idiotic drivers who have caused other road user's lives...

3) Savings Campaign: Oh yea... don let me start on that man.. I still remember being forced to buy stamps and so on and open POSB accounts.... now... if u don have $500 minimum balance, u get charged till in the end, the account is closed... So much for saving hor... I don even have money to eat at the end of the month.... seriously....

4) Speak Mandarin campaign: Yea... now ask or speak to any kid who is 5 and above and he will not be able to speak his native dialect well... He will also not be very good in his second language but for some great fluke of nature, they will be able to speak like an American or some other ang moh... even though they have never lived abroad!!!!

So now there will be a new campaign... Get married campaign.... Yea right...... First of all... lets break down the cost.... those poor sods have to pay their study loans.... try to get a job (and with their unrealistic expectations, they are in for a sad surprise)... Then dating... have to pay for every damn thing.... go out to eat and so on... money grows on trees in Sillypore lah... The girls also have unrealistic expectations of god knows how many c's and the guys expect the girls to also have at least 1 c...a "C" cup... so the distractions carry one....

Then if they do decide to get married, they gotta have a wedding ceremony where all the relatives want to have their say on who comes and who does not come and what to eat and where to have it... It may even turn ugly sometimes... Then there is the payment... who the hell is gonna pay for 100 tables??? Sell your butt in Changi for the rest of your productive years also not enough to pay back... Every lim ah kau and tan ah ter will bring their goldfish, grandaunts and whoever the hell they think want to have a good meal and only give u $50!!!!

After marriage... now deeply in debt... both have to work like hell to make enough money to pay off the debts.... Husband comes home late... wife is too tired... So the break down of the family begins as the couple drifts apart... If they shot gun and have a kid... even worse things will happen.... Still in debt... now they have to sell all their furniture to pay a doctor to look after the pregnancy and deliver the kid..... Then after that, the clothes... diapers... milk... and all that shit.... (Oh yea... u may be asking.. where the hell are the parents??? Well to be frank... they have either run away or they have already been sent to old folks homes to prevent any further headaches to the selfish couple)...

So now the couple is even more deeply in debt and up shit creek without a paddle.... We have not gone into the toys, the schooling and so on hor... And guess what... All we get is a campaign hor... not money... not assistance nothing hor.... Haizzzz.... what a wierd place we live in... and like I said... here we go again.......
