It’s a once every five years event, and it’s exciting not only because (most) Singaporeans get to vote. It’s because it’s also a national thing where the very uniquely Singaporean trait of kayposing comes right to fore!
We had an interest to go to an opposition rally, not that it’s indicative of our political persuasions mind you, but largely because everyone talks about its electrifying atmosphere, the energetic speeches, and the tens of thousands of other Singaporeans who’ll attend just to participate in the rah-rah. Since the opportunity only comes by once every blue-moon, relatively speaking, we decided to give it a go this evening, with a Worker’s Party rally held literally just next door at the Sengkang East open field (Matt will know where it is LOL).
Only thing is that it’d rained for a good part of the afternoon. Open field + mud = lethal combination. We spent just 10 minutes at the rally, but within that time, our feet were caked with mud, both our shirts and bermudas had mud splashes. Only Hannah was unscathed, and only because she was carried throughout and well away from nature’s elements.
Just a couple of pictures of our little family outing.=)
