i'm back!

Just got back from an election rally. first time i attended such a thing, kinda cool. was drizzling slightly when jason and i were walking to the venue after dinner. good thing i brought an umbrella as instructed by him. anyway it stopped raining just b4 they started speaking, though the ground was slightly wet and we had to sit down so that the pple behind us can see the stage.

and i was amazed by the turn out! and this was abt 15 mins b4 it started.. there were a lot more pple after that.. can't capture it on my camera cos it was too dark, but i took some videos. if u are interested, drop a msg in my comments section and i'll email it to u. can listen to how big the crowd is. =)

anyway i'm very impressed by that party. most of the speakers engaged the crowd easily, and brought up many issues relevant to the election, both at the micro and macro scale. very little mudslinging, just a couple of snipe remarks here and there. if i'm not wrong, there were a total of 9 speakers, and there could be more if not for the cut-off timing of 10pm. they spoke in a wide range of languages, not sure if it was pre-arranged or if it's standard practice, but i think it is very good. there was english, mandarin, tamil, teochew, malay, hokkien and even a bit of hakka.. too bad they are not contesting in my ward though.. =)
