it irks me when PAP guys say that the opp's suggestions are all about spending money. And splurging the money accumulated by the govt after so many years.

 

So all opp knows is spend spend spend.

 

Have them even thought of how much EACH minister takes a yea?! totally shameless.

 

yesterday saw the news snippet on penny low ranting at opposition for only coming to serve voters during election. the way she berated was quite a turn off.

 

as if pap mp are there during non election time and as if the way they shape the RC and grassroots alllows the opposition to serve when they are not elected.

my auntie who previously worked at ntuc fairprice also told us. election they will dangle the carrot of free transport and free food to invite staff to go to pap rally.

 

union is supposed to represent worker, how can it achieve this role properly if they are supporting Pap and govt.

seriously for people earning $4.2m per year, $600k is really peanuts to them.

 

so i can fully understand and "empthasize" why mrs woody thinks $600k is peanuts.

 

if we can send a woodpecker to start pecking away, then 600k still stand a chance of losing its peanuts status.

PAP rally turn out so pathetic. look at the blue bus in the picture, would be used to ferry those supporters to the rally.

 

The newspaper today said there were A FEW THOUSAND people who attended WP's rally last night.

 

I wonder if the reporters were really there or just sitting around coffee shops waiting for time off.

Wah...the picture very clear. so i went to check the properties. Leica S2. nice

 

Leica cameras have always been the Rolex of cameras.

 

During the film heydays, a Leica M6 with a standard 50mm f1.4 lens would have cost S$6000.

 

Leica's were heavily used by photojournalist and its strength lies in natural/ambient light photography.

anyway, PAP rallies are normally very little crowd one. Nobody wants to listen to them especially when people have already heard from them over the last 5 years.

 

So those who wants to vote for them have already decided without the need to attend.

 

Opps rallies, however is more interesting. Afterall you only see the Opps." stars" once every 5 years.

OT abit, nice shot. Can advise the setting of your camera? BTW, are you using any filter? Cos whenever I use exposure shot, I tend to get glare from the light source such as lamp post and even house.
