collar colour

just realised that the colour of the men's shirts i've been lusting is the colour of blue = wp... ?? lol. 

i will admit that i'm one of those politically apathetic ones in my country. the recent events did give me something to think about. many thoughts in my head but as usual words fail me as soon as i state my case. wait, do i even have a case? i don't think anyone can claim to be neutral about ideologies, right?

truth be told, i was a little apprehensive when wp won the aljunied electoral division. but the weird thing's that if i get to choose, i'd say i belong more to the blue-collar than the white-collar workers (i found out only today that there's pink-collar too), in terms of the salary i'm drawing. heck, i think if i were a true blue manual labour kind of worker, i'd be earning more.

what was i saying? right. so if i belong to the lower-income group of people, shouldn't i be elated that the voice of this group of people could/should become more audible now? well, i felt i was already really blessed that i was not squeezed as tight as the middle-class. but maybe that's cos i'm single and my pay's not so low afterall? i've gone through worst times but that's mostly due to stupidity. so i can't quite get it when people complain about this and that. i did have to bear with something recently but to me i just didn't think to link it to the way the country's governed. the government did intervene eventually, things improved a little. i'm still in that situation today, though.

or. maybe. in the end, everything's indeed gotta do with the way the ruling party does things? we leave our brains at home. we mind our own business, self-interest comes first. but when things don't go our way, we whine and blame it on the government.

i still can't say why i felt that way when wp won. it could simply be about change. i have a love hate thing with this thing. i don't love change but i hate it when things remain unchanged for too long.
