looks like the quiet pap supporters got the victory this time round. people are wrong abt chiam not being to win this election and low retained his seat in hougang. sylvia shld b an ncmp. and there you have it, 2006 elections - with its fair share of controversies, not too many issues debated. a stronger, more prepared opposition with a better showing. aljunied especially. and amk did not get the 80% that boonheng wanted. LOL.

Hopefully this means more debates in the coming 5 years and that the opposition will continue to work hard and give people a choice - in bishan toapayoh esp!

82 seats for pap. 2 for opposition. not many changes. 66.6% of valid votes to the pap. supposedly a good showing.

anw, back from dance night and it was, i must say a very amusing day from the start, haha. I BOUGHT FAKE FLOWERS CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! haha. yeah, in a rush i grabbed a bunch of plastic flowers i thought was really nice and spent a sum of them. BUT i did manage to give them away. and er i hope they like it. IT DOES NOT LACK SINCERITY! it was an honest mistake (i hope i don't need to give a thorough explanation, and that it does not lack integrity. it was it truly was). anw on the bright side, you get to keep plastic flowers forever. haha. but i bought roses (REAL!) too, so proud of myself haha. and i had to chop them myself. was such a noob lah. BUT at 3 tries i managed to chop the parts i wanted gone. with minimal embarassment. =)

but i ended up overbuying flowers lah. cos they sold them in dozens, so I didnt have so many friends. so some got 2 flowers, some got one. i hope they all liked it anw, haha. as much as i enjoyed dance night.

so yes, i ended up late for meeting shang, suhas & ajit. buying more stuff and buying grabbable dinner and stuff for zul, before rushing into a cab asking if the cab driver has voted. haha. we managed to reach the place ON TIME! =D and yes tsk dani for not telling suhas the truth!

but the place is freaking hot lah. i brought a jacket and wore long sleeves cos i thought it wld b freezing. BUT it was so hot lah. very warm. and it din help tt everyone else was so hot. haha. emcees were mediocre, at times funny, but not spectacular. sometimes lacking energy too. i lost my program. can i have a new one!

anw on the dances itself. the order was good. really, it has made the entire program very sleek and entertaining, with a broad audience appeal. the entire thing was rather fast paced so it really din seem like 2 hrs have passed. Thought it was better than last year's one. Though i cannot really comment since i m not this expert. but i must say i enjoyed myself more this year. obviously knowing more ppl this time round did help. so there. liked the opening number, liked the latin too, liked the symbolic dances, chinese dance was amusing, hip hop, jazz all cool. dont suppose i did remember much with regards to the dances maybe cos i was busy people spotting. but it was an enjoyable, entertaining night of beauty (not really eternal or everlasting tho haha).

nice job alan on the video haha. and then zhu was like the star lah for all the chinese dances. qte a few stars lah but i shall just mention her. haha. i like the together song. whee. was singing it randomly as i had to wait for ppl to descend from the top. so many ppl were crowding around them! wah they are all like famous stars.

anw so the curtains have closed and for many of them it may very well be their last performance. o well. like many things in life, you prepare for such a long time, practise extremely hard all for just 2 hours, sometimes more, sometimes less. but all things will have to come to an end i suppose.

and then it's time to let go.

o well. i do hope the performers did have fun. aiya dont need to hope lah, they did have fun, maybe not dancing but with the company.

just like what suhas said as we were talking about continuing debating in the future. we realised tt it's not debating we missed, it is debating together as a team.

an entry filled with random thoughts put together. the coming week is going to b study study study =(
