Work is getting to a terrible slowdown these few days. Guess its NZ's turn to be in a recession. so! i went out today with SS to visit some retailers. visit Counties Polaris, Magwarehouse.com Manukau, Super furniture and Hyper Tyres. Everyday, i will talk to Ngaio @ Hyper Tyres and finally i get to meet her and the boys today... its quite cool really. When u talk to someone, u will have this idea of how she looks like and what the shop's layout is etc.. but when u are there... its just another whole new picture...
my Dad and two bro are now Kiwis- New Zealand citizens
Lee Hsien Loong, in his 5 days trip to NZ was badly criticized by ministers, oppositions for lack of freedom of speech in spore- him suing opposition Dr Chee for defamation etc. BUT he took it quite well. gave reasonings which we are all by now familiar with and probably carry the "what the heck! its the same old thing again" attitude...
i was watching news the other day re: the power cut in auckland city and this news reporter Susan Wood was questioning, INTERRUPTING and basically pointing fingers/putting blame on the Energy Minister. i was thinking.. Goodness! If this happened in Spore, the reporter will probably be exiled to God knows where and not able to go back to spore...
Come to think of it, in our sociology lect, had this lecturer Leong Wai Teng, he was saying that there is this person who has been staying in Sentosa for ages after he voiced his opinions AGAINST PAP. *quite interesting*
