End of an Era: Visiting Boh Geh Uncle Canteen One Last Time

Sitting outdoor under the trees As bus 117 rolled through Seletar, Singapore's modern aerospace hub, I took a moment to just look out the window and enjoy the unusually serene greenery. My destination was 398 Piccadilly,  home to the legendary Boh Geh Uncle Canteen or Canteen 398 . I wouldn't have rushed down this week if not for my dad.

Polling Day is 7 May 2011

Finally I get to vote tomorrow.

My family and I are voting for Jurong GRC.  Well, it has been contested and that is why I get to vote.

If I vote for Opposition, what will I get too?

I am sure 'Thunder' will win.  People will tend to vote for Opposition, even knowing that they will not win but to pull the number of votes down from 'Thunder'.

Well, I'm one of them who thinks this way.

But will it affect my future like applying for house, grants, childcare benefits etc?

I'm not married yet but one day I will.  I'm in the midst of applying for my flat.  Gone thru 1st stage and some more stages to go before I get my flat.

Sigh...
