My parent praised our family today, for good self control. For not swtiching on the air con without thinking thus saving the electricity bill, but actual fact is...the weather is too cold in the nights nowadays so i do not turn it on. But i just claimed the credit by putting on a wide smile. We never got nagged about switching on the aircon rentlessly, until recently. Must be all the heavy taxes our parents get imposed on, remember before the increase of the gst hike when the government gave out money incentives to every citizen aged 18 -21? That was the period of the election too. Well, maybe it's just to blind the people, money do in fact blind people and make them do stupid things. So that's why the PAP won again even though they upsetted almost the whole nation by increasing the gst to 7%. So next time they do that again, maybe you'ld like to advise your parents on voting. Teenagers never will get the sum of money, only the adults do. So what if they give our parents a couple of hundred bucks? The increase in cost of living will take away a big part of that "couple of hundreds" they give our parents, and what about our parents needing to raise us? Pocket money doesn't increase when food prices are soaring out there. So when some tv reporters on the streets ask for comments about how they feel about the governments decision, who in the fuck dares to say "oh yalor, these people are WRONG in making things so expensive now *then shouts 'next time i don't support your PAP ar !'*." So what happens when nobody dares to make a public outcry? You seat at kopitiams and hear ah peks shouting to each other in hokkien about how fucked up the government is. I swear, i always see this happening at almost every kopitiam, especially during the increase of gst period. I even once saw one ah pek pointing the middle finger to the tv in the kopitiam when MR LEE's face was shown in news. He didn't stop there, he continues pushing his middle finger in and out of a hole created by his other hand (try doing that to see what i mean, you wouldn't wanna do it infront of your family, it's something bad). So my main issue is, I NEED MORE POCKET MONEY ! And of course the sub issue is about how unhappy i am with all the new changes made.
