GE 2020 (election coming)

It has been 5 days since phase 2 of the pandemic recovery kick started. Most of the shops have reopened their shops, and we are allowed to eat in food courts and coffee shops. Since the pandemic is still on-going and there are still cases of community spread (single digit), there are still precautionary works to be done, and the government limit all outdoor activities to a maximum of 5 people. This include going to food courts and visiting friends and relatives. My mum started work, but I still work from home (until my manager informs me to go back to office).

Swimming pools was opened for public too, but the restriction make us very difficult to go swimming, the only allocated time (1830 – 2130) for the general public was very late (and little), and furthermore, we can only swim for an hour. My mother and I decided to postpone any visit to the pool until the rules was relaxed further.

At this crucial time, the government called for an election to be held on the 10th of July. Since the dissolution of the cabinet on the 23rd Jun, there are only 7 days to nomination day at 30th Jun and 9 days of campaigning to the polling days (the minimum days required)

I cannot understand why government choose to have election during this period when there is still high risk of the pandemic worsening in the coming weeks? Wouldn’t it be better if we focus on the pandemic and have the election during the phase 3 (or later) of the recovery period, so that everyone would feel safer going out to participate in any small size physical rallies?

The reason I guess, can only mean to ensure opposition has minimum time and opportunity to reach out to the public. There will be no physical election rally this time due to covid -19. Although there are e-rallies on the internet, it remain to be seen if it do have the similar effect compared to the physical rallies. There were also TV board cast allocated to different parties based on number of candidates, but The PAP will surely have a large chunk of time covered with all 93 candidates. To make things more skewed, the ruling party had started all kind of TV programs related to COVID -19 featuring many ministers and their “Good “job done.

Looking forward, the road to success look tougher for the opposition. As for my area (Jurong), I have yet to hear any opposition coming to my area. I just hope that all the opposition, whether WP or SDP or PSP could have a good performance, win enough seats to deny the PAP the 2/3 majority. If not, the life in Singapore could be tougher ahead.

I should stop for now , hope for the best in the days ahead, BE POSITIVE is important 写到这里，一个人也要很开心

新加坡封城 （3）解封三个阶段

新加坡在6月二号结束了阻断措施，开始了解封三个阶段。第一个阶段从六月三号开始，预计会维持4到六个礼拜。一部分的生意和店面回复了营业，但感觉还是很少的。家人的探访可以恢复，但只限最多两个人探访父母和祖父母 （会不会太少了呢？）反正姐夫大概也不会来找我们的，对我来说，影响不大吧。只不过，朋友也不能见面 ，这些都要等到第二阶段之后了。买车的计划看来要等到八月以后的事了。一些社交活动，以政府而言，要到第三阶段才会恢复。换句话来说，佛堂的节目可能要等到十月后吧，出国更不用说了。虽然这么说，但乐观积极还是需要的。有时间就看看日本旅游的东西，如果明年一月还是出不了国的话，大概就要等到明年11月了。到时希望可以去名古屋走走吧

在家做工的日子不知不觉到了71天了。公司方面，从八号开始，有很少的同事能回到公司，但都是有需要才能回。回去也不是一整天的。把东西做好，就要离开了。Vincent 没有跟我讲到东西，在第一阶段，还是在家作工吧。在者非常时候，即见不到朋友，也看不到同事的日子里，难免会有些寂寞。所谓路不转人转，总要找些事情来消磨时间，才不会胡思乱想，生活也会比较开心吧

家里的电箱不知何故，一条比较大条的电线 （听朋友说是 neutral cable）被烧掉了，以致家里都没有电源。我也从来没有遇过这样的问题 , 一时也措手不及，但隔壁的邻居有过来看一下。我打电话给市政会请人来看，他们来了之后，说家里的电箱，他们不能修理，只有打给私人公司了。私人公司的员工要一个多小时才会来，隔壁邻居好心拉extention cable , 让我们家暂时有一些电源，我母亲才可以休息。这一次，共花了600元吧。乐观来说，家里没有着火，就是不幸中之大幸了

从五月开始，几乎每一天，都有到裕廊湖公园去跑步。开始的时候，也只能跑两公里而已，但经过了20多次的努力之下，也奇迹的跑到6.2公里。脚上的印吧，在每天早上拿温水来浸泡，也显得比较好了。日语方面，在不断的努力之下，也有一点进步吧。日本語を勉強するばかりでなく運動が必要です

写到这里 ， 对自己说，努力是必要的,不会谈恋爱的，一个人也要很开心

GOD bless all the time , 慧台
