the 40RN46!
This morning i was driving along PIE towards Changi Airport direction at about 8 am. Just before the BKE exit, I spotted a vehicle registration number (commonly known as car license number in Singapore) of a black Ford Laser as
40RN46!When I was about to drive past the vehicle, I struggled badly to peep at who the driver is and at the same time, not crashing into the slow moving vehicle in front of me. I saw a white-hair
Ang Moh Caucasian in some sort of unfamiliar military-looking uniform (cause got rank epaulettes on the shoulder).
I know that there is S1234CD vehicle registration number which is for the foreign embassy staff uses. I know of
SEKOM1234 SUKOM1234, Malaysia vehicle registration number that was released to commemorate certain sporting event that was hosted by Malayisa that year.
BUT 40RN46?!?!
40 Royal Navy 46?
the campaign starts the minute they announced his submission of application for COE for Presidency
Buay. Tahan. Damn. Buay. Tahan. Kan. Si. Lang. Buay. Tahan.
The
fucking very moment ChannelNewsAsia reported that Mr. Nathan
"Singapore President Nathan running for second term", they follows with 2 reports immediately on:
NTUC backs President Nathan's bid for a second term - supported
delightly by "NTUC and all of its 63 affiliated unions"
President Nathan's medical report shows he's fit despite old age - he is not super-duper-fit cause he is 81 years old (
way past retirement age) but then he "can continue with his normal daily activities" by the Directors/Chairmen/Senior Advisors of the respective specialist centres.
All this was because there is someone who has submitted his/her application for a COE for running for President Election on Monday...
I was discussing with wife that we are seeing alot of Mr. Nathan in the media this year, actually, make it he was seen more in this year than ALL THE PREVIOUS 3 years.
My guess then was that
1) There will be voting for the next elected President - no more walk-over. BECAUSE we they need to test out the E-voting system and use this chance to proclaim that it is very secure, accurate and privacy of overseas e-voters are not violated. (And this will also be the chance that my wife will get her first go at voting at the age of 31.)
2) Mr. Nathan will be running again despite all the rumours that he will be retiring BECAUSE either
(a) they cannot find another more suitable candidate to take over him.
(b) there is actually someone who is qualified (out of the 400 or 4000 over people that passed the freaking strict criteria which essentially limits it to almost everyone who passed to be the elites).
so they better beef him up in the limelights to remind everyone what a nice and adorable President that he was. This is what the newspaper reported, I do not know how true it is when they say he is a super-duper-nice-kind-benevolence-man because I have never met him before.
So how? Next on - the election talks about e-voting and we'll get to see more and more reports/ comments by Political writers & MPs on how Mr. Nathan will be the PERFECT guy to go for the second term despite being at the good old ripe age of 81.
the weather broadcast
Drove pass Padang during lunch time today, saw the grandstand and all the props set up for the National Day Parade.
There is no shelter for the grandstand where all the VVVIPs of Singapore will be sitting. What will happen if it RAINs???
Men In White all drenched?
Women In White all wet... hmmmm
;)
I cannot remember any single National Day Parade that was sabotage by rain over the pass 15 - 2 0 years. I have participated in 2 NDP and there was never any CONTIGENCY PLANs in case it rain on National Day evening.
Why? I
remember hearing highly suspected that they do weather
manipulation modification to prevent it from raining on the actual day.
So dun expect any "It was a dark and stormy night" settings on the 9th of August in Singapore. Best time to organize birthday barbecue, picnics, all outdoor activities for that matter.
Also avoid the days or weekends just before 9th of August, sure
confirm-stamp-chop will rain one.
Wanna bet?
