Who will you vote for?

It's the President Election in a few days time. Who will you vote for?

Someone told me he'll just void his vote as he sees no meaning in this election. He asked, "If I vote for one of them, so? What can he do? Why should I vote for any of them?" President to him, is only someone who will show face at some charity show, or wave at crowd during National Day Parade. After so many years of not needing to vote for our President, maybe its time to think, why do we need a President?

Do we just need someone who looks wise (old), respectable, reputable to represent Singapore when needed? (It'll be easier to choose,we can vote based on looks like vote for Mr Singapore) I think if we really need a figure head, he should be able to complement the government and bring some value to Singaporeans. We do not need a puppet. Maybe someone to uphold the humanity part that is often neglected in the economic-driven policies? Someone who really care, and loved and respected by Singaporeans? Someone with no hidden agenda? Of course not someone who will cause political unrest. We do not want a head of State to incite a riot or worst internal war to bring down the economy. It's good to have someone, but do we really need one?

Before a meaningful conclusion can be drawn, we have to vote in 3 days time! So, who should I vote for?

氧气

想抱着你入睡
却只能努力呼吸
怎么感觉快要窒息
没有你的空气
好像少了氧气

其实并不想写那么恶烂的东西，只是刚好昨夜睡不好。有可能是baby压到了肺，导致呼吸不顺畅；又有可能是天气太热，所以觉得呼吸困难。。。想起范晓萱的「氧气」。空气的＂空”让人觉得窒息？

探病

刚到医院探一位朋友。到时她正熟睡着。坐了一会儿，看着她熟睡的身影，有些感慨。

她已经不是第一次住院了。记得最后一次看她时是华人新年刚过，她刚出院，在家养病。一直陪在她身边的猫在大年除夕那夜过世。她因此沮丧了很久。我去探望她时，她和我说起此事时眼眶还泛泪。

其实她还有很多姐妹，侄子侄女的。可是她说都没有人来探望她。她还说老板和同事都不能谅解为何她常生病住院，耽误了许多工作。她也不想这样啊。医药费已经花了她一大半的积蓄。因为常进出医院，可用的病假，年假都用完了，现在在家养病也只能用无薪假。她也为接下来的生活担心。我不知道怎么安慰她，只能当个听众，静静地听她说。

我真的希望我认识的所有朋友都能健康，都能过着幸福的生活。但很可惜，人生并非如此。我能做的也只是尽力的确保我的朋友的保险啊，储蓄投资计划啊等等都能有周详的安排。金钱并不是最重要的，但少了这烦恼我们可以把时间花在更重要，人生更有意义的事情上。

离开病房时还能听到她的打呼声，她睡得还很香。希望她能早日康复，不需要再到医院了。
