Member of Parliament.

21st September 2007,

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT:
(noun)
an elected member of the British Parliament: a member of the House of Commons

Members of Parliament (MPs) consist of either elected, non-constituency or nominated Members. The majority of MPs are elected into Parliament at a General Election on a first-past-the-post basis and represent either Single Member or Group Representation Constituencies (GRCs).MPs act as a bridge between the community and the Government by ensuring that the concerns of their constituents are heard in Parliament. The present Eleventh Parliament has 94 MPs consisting of 84 elected MPs, one NCMP and nine NMPs.

Elected Members
In GRCs, political parties field a team of between three to six candidates. At least one candidate in the team must belong to a minority race. This requirement ensures that parties contesting the elections in GRCs are multi-racial so that minority races will be represented in Parliament. There were 14 GRCs in the 2006 General Election and 9 Single Member constituencies.

Non-Constituency Members
The Constitution also provides for the appointment of other MPs not voted in at a General Election. Up to three Non-Constituency Members of Parliament (NCMPs) from the opposition political parties can be appointed. This is to ensure that there will be a minimum number of opposition representatives in Parliament and that views other than the Government's can be expressed in Parliament.

Nominated Members
A constitutional provision for the appointment of up to nine Nominated Members of Parliament (NMPs) was made in 1990 to ensure a wide representation of community views in Parliament. NMPs are appointed by the President of Singapore for a term of two and a half years on the recommendation of a Special Select Committee of Parliament chaired by the Speaker. NMPs are not connected to any political parties.

Have anyone of you thought of becoming a Member of Parliament before?
I always have an strong interest in politics, I think it is a very interesting arena to explore. Many people lives are affected by politics. Everyday lives in fact. The things you took for granted or even the things that you hated... The pavement you walk on and the recent GST hike are just some decisions made by the government that affect us. I think it is really a blessing to be able to bring about changes to the status quo. Although not all changes will be welcomed, but the people behind those changes will be 'made' important. For instance, every thursday, my constituency MP will hold her 'meet the people session' few blocks away from my block. If people not familiar with the scene, you can think along the line of a popular GP with lots of patients waiting outside the clinic. This is the exact thought I had when I first saw it... You see my point? People flocks to MP for 'cure', for solution. Be it a simple appeal letter to the court, or an appeal letter to school to allow the child to enter certain primary school, you need to know that a MP can make a difference. He/She become important to people who need his/her help. Yes. They are inportant without you even knowing. You must understand that the seat that they hold in the parliament will make or break a bill. Bill that become law that will brings about changes to your life. Yes. They affect your life ad you cannot deny it.

First I will be joining a political party to gain certain experience. Who knows what will happen 10 to 15 years down the road. Right? I hope to make a difference too...

Throbbing headache...

With my throbbing headache because of migraine, I want to pour out all my SHITs!!! Distorted though...

I am stress, so many things on my mind that I wish to be alone for a long time... I want to be away from reality. I want to be away from making choices. I want to be away from responsibilities. I want to be away from explaining things. Whatever I have said or done, I can never satisfiy anyone. Not even to myself when I think I have done all I could. Most importantly, indecisive is in my gene. I hate words... I cannot express well with words...

I am stress with money, with school, with family and relationships... Nothing can stay happy for a long time. Just like rainbow, they vanished just when you thought they are the most beautiful. Maybe my parents were correct to suspect I was once dissociated from reality. I hope I can be like that now... No one can truly be there for me. Whenever I am stress or unhappy, there will be more unnecessary stress and unhappiness finding theirs way to me. Darkness and the night is the best comfort zone for me... I love to sleep my troubles through before I got too emo. Yes. I am useless. I tends to be rule by the night lord, not rationale...

I also hate to be 'frame', nothing seem to be more important than my actions. Not even when people claimed it was. In the first place, I was never good with words. If not I would not have hurt so many people close to me. Most of the time, I don't even realized it. But what if the things I said is true and it hurts? Does it mean that I have to be a hypocrite and not say it? I mean, even to people I thought I should be truthful to? Fine. I think I should keep mum about it. SHUT UP YOU BLOODY FUCKER SU! Shut your mind and shut your thought to steer away from your own trouble. STUPID...

I am indebted to alot of people. I don't need to name them, for their names are deeply engraved in my heart. I am helpless. I don't have alot of friends or sources to seek comfort with. So I will remember those people I am indebted to... So many people have high expectations of me, but everytime I just fails them. I am truly ashamed of myself. My point is, don't expect much from a loser like me. I can never live up to expectation. Never before. Laugh if you want but I won't give a shit about it... Miyo's apple will understand... ...

I am stress, but you make it more stress... You make yourself sound pity, like you are the only one making the effort. You love to make a mountain out of a mole's hole... Ultimately, you are always about yourself. Like me, you are full of excuses...

I feel so helpless, I feel that I cannot even be tired when I really was. Everyone have different tolerance level... Is it a guilt to have lesser tolerance level? I hate assumption, especially those that will cause unnecessary conflicts. Can some scientists please come up with a kind of pill to let people like me to rest peacefully forever? I am so stress... My worries never stop coming, I know I have only myself to blame. As always my actions do not reflect what I preached... I am nobody. I totally feel insignificant. I was 'forced' into thinking this way. Pardon me not...

I will be away for a few days... Goodnight to all...

An early post...

Someday during the month of September...

Phew, a heave of relief for me. I finally received my examination results for this semester. All my fear for not doing well were unfound for. I gt a B+ (75-79) grade for all the subjects... I know I cannot be greedy but I just thought that I could have gotten a better grade for my Business Statistics... Haha. But all in all I am really greatful for what I have. Who know I could have gotten a lousier grade. *Touchwood* Haha...

Another new semester is coming and I think it will be getting more and more difficult for me to cope with. *Stress*... The thought of me be having Managerial Accounting for the next semester is enough to put me on cold feet. Haiz, how arh??? M.A alot more difficult than Financial Accounting leh --- I took it last sems... Adding on to the woe will be memorising subjects like Marketing and Human Resource... (I think I should act like Guoqiang; 'mugging' all day long... Haha... Anyway I did manage to do that 'mugging' thing during the first one and a half month when I just started school too.) Seriously, I don't like to memorise things, not even remembering my own handphone number. I have the tendency to forget things that I thought I can easily remember it. 'Remembering' and 'forgetting' is a chore that can happens concurrently in my mind within the split seconds... It doesn't helps that I attended abacus lesson during primary school. Haha. Actually I don't think there is any link anyway...

I just hope that I can do well for my remaining three semester before I have to decide which course to major in... Anyway food for thoughts, I am thinking about majoring along the line of Accountancy, Management or Economics and Finance. Hmm... Actually, it still doesn't really matter at this point of time, I just want to set a short term goal to motivate myself at this point of time... & I mean SHORT TERM goal...

The way she smile will even melt the Ice cap up north.... Erm, can someone get me a shade please???

Her frowning... Her pig face she said... Wahaha... Fyi I wasn't even touching her chin... Camera effect. I miss her...

Cats!!!... I realised I know alot of cat lovers... Why people like cat arh? No offence to this group of people... But I really don't like cats. The only time I thought cat are better is when I compare them to rat... (hamster are excluded) They are not loyal pets to begin with, and when they purred, they look like egyptian sacred cat... So evil and scary... Eeewww... Their eyes lack friendliness too. Like ah beng staring at people sia... And the only time they come near people are when they are hungry. Seriously, I don't hate cat, I just don't like it (unless kitten lah) and don't understand why people will want to keep them as pet... Okokok, I just think cat are slighty cleaner that's all... No more. Haha... Oya before I forgot, I like Garfield and Slyvester though!!! Hehe...

I hope the wiper will start on its' own... I bet it will scare the shit out of this lazing cat... Whoohoo!!! Meow!!! !!!

Wai wai! I had an enjoyable 'shopping' and 'feasting' trip... Thank you... Love it...

Tonight...

I thought you meant it...

7th August 2007,

Many things were said and I am glad I were told...
Many things were said and I accepted it whole-heartedly...
Many things were said and I live with it even though it really does matter alot to me initially...
Many things were said and I never played the blaming game before...
Many things were said and I thought all were the truth...
Many things were said and I thought you were being responsible...
Many things were said and I trust you to be rational...
Many things were said and I felt deluded tonight...

Goodnight...
