LOB IT UP BABY
Yest night I had the honour and privilege (together with the Bukit Panjang YEC members) to have dinner at the House of Lobsters at Republic Poly with my Bukit Panjang MP Dr Teo Ho Pin, as well as other grassroot leaders.
Besides the fact that the food absolutely rocks, esp the lobsters (heh heh), it was really a great delight to be able to know Dr Teo on a personal level much better. Dr Teo was really sincere and even gave out his own personal namecard to every single one of us, telling us to email him directly for any concerns or enquiries. And from the numerous conversations that developed over dinner, it was evident to me that he was really passionate in helping the less fortunate in Bukit Panjang, as well as striving to build a strong community spirit in Bukit Panjang. And I respect him highly for that.
I also asked a lot of questions such as why and how he stepped into politics in the past, how does he prepare for his parliamentary speeches (Dr Teo was due to speak in Parliament today on the en bloc sale legislation), and how was life in general as a politician.
From next Mondae outwards, I would also be helping out Dr Teo during the weekly Meet-the-People Sessions. Really looking foward to it. =)
Republic Poly by the way, has really new and wonderful sports and all-round facilities! I was really impressed. At the same time, looking at all the various sports cca groups training reminded me so much of jc life. And all those fond memories.. n_n
Managed to rush back to sch in time to witness the finale of AGM. Hmmm, time really flies. I can vividly still remember talking to Steve Tyler at Agm reception last year haha. It was quite touching to see that the 27th really enjoyed themselves while looking back at the photos of themselves for the whole year... I rem the 26th had the photo slideshow as well last year, and how sad it felt to see memories of an entire year just flash past like that. Haha, i m sure there ll be another video/ photos presentation during Thank-u-Dinner, and lotsa tears ll flow again.
I had actually intended to write a tribute post to the 27th MC, but i think i ll leave that till Thank You Dinner =p After all, technically there's still 1 more project to go heh. But for the moment, just really glad to see them step down happily.
Oh, and i realize i miss JAckson a lot leh. Basket. He and his nonsense. Hahaha!
