TV Mobile rocks! (ok, that's quite a nerdy thing to say, I realise...)

I thank God for TV Mobile. I know, when it first came out, there were mixed reactions with some people hating it and some people loving it. And some people sitting on the fence. I was one of those sitting on the fence. You know, I rarely have an opinion on things but when I do, I make it a point to REALLY let it be known.

But anyway, I have been converted. TV Mobile is the only place I get my news updates from now. I don't have time to read the papers in the morning and by the time I get home, it's like the day is almost over so what's in the newspapers isn't news anymore. So on my way to work and back, I watch TV Mobile to get my news snippets. And today on my way back, I caught a bit of the National Day Rally.

Now, I'm not much of a patriotic citizen. In fact, more often than not, I have made fun of the government and disagreed with the way things are done. I have turned my nose up in disdain at fellow citizens and questioned policies implemented. BUT, today as I was watching the Prime Minister give his National Day speech, I was moved. I was sincerely moved. And I applaud the man. It's not easy to be a leader in these times. And much as I hate to admit it, he's seen us through. Our government has seen us through. And I must say, I'm grateful for our leaders. They've done a splendid job. I'm proud of the way we've come through our crises as a nation (I'm starting to sound like the guy who writes the PM's speech huh). And you know, when the PM was delivering his speech, I felt like he really understood what we're going through, young and old. He understood the plight of those who got retrenched and still had 8 mouths to feed and he understood the frustrations of the young ones who have yet to get a job. For once in my life, I felt like this was the guy I wanted to be my Prime Minister.

Ok, this whole post is totally uncharacteristic of me. I've not suddenly been brainwashed by the government, don't worry. I just have an opinion on this and remember, when I do have an opinion, I REALLY make it known. So here's to you, PM Goh, and the spiffy job you're doing. And here's to me getting a job soon... :)
