we are so pampered ! ( no , not the kind you wrap around a baby's bottom )
----

Lets face it.

Singaporeans are a bunch of pampered folks.

Just take a peek from your window and besides the usual unappetising view of HDB flats with gaudy colours , look down south and be repulsed at the maze of sheltered walkways and pavilions that greet you.

I can fully understand the usefulness of a sheltered walkway when the skies suddenly dump their condensation on you , unaware and without an umbrella.

But thats entirely your own fault for not being unprepared despite the fact that our weather is very erratic ( sidetrack : i actually mispronouced the word as "Erotic" once and i have remained as the butt of jokes ever since ) .

Which indirectly means that the government is paying for our mistake.

As for sweltering hot days , look , come on.

A mere distance the length of 4 cars being parked back to back WILL NOT cause you to crumple into the floor and foam at the mouth due to a heatstroke .

So TELL ME.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THE SHELTERED WALKWAYS FOR?

All that you gian-peng residents know is to give "feedback" to the MP .

Feedback my ass !

More like requests to enable them to reduce the amount of perspiration on their stinky bodies.

Speakin of this i read with much amusement and bewilderment of the Straits Times forum days ago regarding complaints of a disgruntled woman who apparently feels that "the nature trail at MacRitchie ( or is it Seletar ? I forgot ) is too much for her to bear and she had to wait oh-s0-long under the malevolent sun before it was her turn to walk the treetop bridge"

Of course the replies came fast and furious from equally amused readers who "asked her to go fly kite if she finds it too far from her comfort zone"

I say , just fuck off and steer clear from there and stick your fat pudgy ass on your sofa and enjoy the cool comforts of your ozone-depleting air conditioner. FOREVER.

Okay back to topic.

If covered walkways was such a necessity then pray tell me how the heck did you survive all those years of living without one ?

Same goes to the construction of the Paya Lebar expressway , the MRT circle line and the tentatively scheduled LRT to Sentosa or somewhere.

Its really redundant and its painful to travel past these sites because your vision is shrouded in clouds of dust and what little you can see consists of debris , jauggernaut-sized machinery and sad-looking construction workers who get accused of every crime imaginable by us smug Singaporeans

I'm not opposed to accessibility but as it is , we're already very accessible and i'm damn proud of that fact and i don't need another reason to travel just because there is a new PLE or MRT line .

Besides how much difference can a mere expressway do ?

Cut travel time ? By how much ? A few minutes ?

Reduce traffic jams ? So what ? There will still be jams no matter how many expressways you built, face it.

And of course , these sillynilly people don't know that the gahmen is NOT paying for it.

In a country where even you have to pay the gahmen for owning a bloody TV ( yes it costs $100 to own one on top of the purchase price of the set ) , NOTHING IS FREE.

I'm not anti-gahmen but this country is already turning into a big eyesore of concrete , tiles and metal without the new embellishments i've mentioned .

Soon , all that will be left would be the few conserved roads with the amazing greenery ( Like Mandai road ) .

Hell , they won't even let us retain the rustic charm of Changi point.

You should see it now , its spanking new and there's a boardwalk but FOR WHAT ?!

I miss the jetty of yore with the greasy planks of wood and the comfortable feeling of being in an bygone era.

I've heard that the gahmen is planning to do something to Pulau ubin as well.

Touch my Ubin and they DIE .

Oh dear , i miss Ubin :( Haven't been there for ages !! Any Ubin enthusiasts ??
