Supper Time

7th May is finally here and it is time for Singaporeans to make a wise decision in our election. It's a once every 5 year affair and my area, the opposition-Worker's Party in Hougang has been strong for the past 20 yrs.

We are confident enough that we will will again this time round and besides conquering Hougang, we hope to win Aljunied as well. After a BBQ dinner in JB, we headed back to Singapore for the election results.
Feeling hungry, we decided to prepare the following food for supper.

1. Honey green tea
2. Kaya toastie
3. Cheese & egg toastie

Our Macaroni with Cheese.

Aunty Margaret waiting for the results anxiously.

Not forgetting a big hammer to support the opposition~ Worker's Party! Oh hammer is their logo! Lolz...
