Having Nicole Seah for lunch

fresh viet rolls

The Lunch Party had Nicole Seah for lunch on July 7. Or to put it unambiguously, the pre-eminent Opposition candidate whose team stood in Marine Parade GRC against then Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong came for lunch with the “uncles’ and “aunties” of the Lunch Party at our monthly gathering.

An “uncle” was despatched to fetch her while another “uncle” volunteered to send her back to office after lunch. The “uncle” (a Lunch Party member) who conveyed our invite was none other than Tan Jee Say who contested against the PAP at the Holland-Bukit Timah GRC under the Singapore Democratic Party banner.

All of us was impressed by Nicole’s maturity and her earnestness, although I wish she won’t keep saying somewhat apologetically “I know it’s cheesy” every time she uttered something patriotic or goody two shoes, like wanting to do something for Singapore, the people, etc.

Dear earnest child, it’s fine to be idealistic, caring, polite, somewhat shy. At your age, there’s no need to be strident, cynical, reckless, rebellious, rowdy, all hallmarks of the typical cyber thugs who relentlessly hit out at the PAP Government’s underbelly. What you should worry a little more about is what serving Singapore could do to your looks! Remember what happens to PAP swai ger, Charles Chong. Ditto Chiam See Tong, and so on. 😦

Already, at 24, you look far older than your age, after the gruelling pre-general election campaign and the continuing call on your time by older Sgporeans who wish to fete you and find out what makes you tick!

Don’t live your life like a candle in the wind, your fire burning out long before you get into Parliament.

Meanwhile, below are more samplings of what we ate when Nicole graced our lunch.
