Thou shalt not rest. Who would bring us news that the MSM refuse to publish? Who?
Like the image of the Ox.
Hope in the yr of the Ox, TOC has the wisdom of the Snake: no point behaving like an Ox.
Thank you TOC for all the news.
HAPPY CNY!
Zefly,
CNY is to be spent with the family… news must take a backseat during these few days!
I am going to see my mom, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews… :)) Ya, I miss them…
HapPy NeW YeAr to one and all…. you guys have been great in your support…
Lets hope 2009 will be better than 2008… and please, no more elitism and escaping from terrorist detention centres! ;P
Happy recession to all, don’t worry, we have the budget!
Happy New Year!
Can you all recall one thing, just one thing, that PAP did you like?
If you cannot think of any, then maybe it is time to reflect upon yourself. Maybe you are just too biased.
When you are biased, you will read everything they do as rotten, and there is nothing they can do to please you.
I love TOC man!
happy new year.
happy good luck to all person who wish to be mp of singapore.
may your wishes come true.

Well, here is an ox for all.
@ #19.

For this new year, my wish for Singapore
is that Mas Selamat be found.
Its been SO SO LOOONG .
May the power of the Ox
help the Home Team locate and find Abang.
All the best to the search.
Happy New Year to all at TOC
Happy new yr to all and may TOC continues to be stronger.
Hopefully we wont be closed down haha.
Take care all and spare a thought for those who are being alienated and especially the unemployed.
@20
LOL yes yes indeed!
Nevermind, goats, cows or ox, happy new year anyway! :D
Dear TOC, keep up the good work. keep it going and going and going….. I enjoyed reading your articles and keeps me sane.
cheers
A Happy Niu Year to All.
Please do not refer to this as “The Year of the Ox” as an Ox is a castrated male animal. Sorry it can no longer father any youngs.
It is better to refer to it as “The Year of the Bull”. Let the bulls come back to the stock markets worldwide in 2009.
That will indeed be “A Happy “Niu” Year!!!
ahahahahaa
so an Oxy is a castrated Bully.
And an oxymoron is a castrated bully who is also stupid.

There’s no such thing as an Oxy.
Remember, it’s already castrated — so it should be Oxv (the descender of y is cut off if you know what I mean).
LOL — just a new year joke to lighten up.
Cheers
Can you think of one good thing the pap did for me.
I remember my MP giving me some Fairprice vouchers. I said I should not accept it as there are people who need it more than me. But he pressed and I accepted.
Then I told myself I will buy some nice things to eat and share it with the people in my village in Indochina.
I did that and I think my fellow villagers need something good to eat and that are nutritious too.
Any more vouchers pap MP?
Happy New Year to all!
Wish everybody luck and prosperity!
Actually the ox look like Bart Simpson (the eyes, I mean)
True Blue Singaporean (#5),
Wah.. All these events happen in 12-year interval..
How can elites not know this?
happy CNY to all cheers!
good health & prosperity + economy quick quick become better
Happy year of the Ax,
oops! sorry, I meant year of the Ox
to all humanoids as long as you accept my greetings.
Hope for the new year:
1. GE – allow me to exercise my rights. I shall hold back no more. A;low substantially more citizens of singapore the chance to vote. Afterall, its a small tiny little city which is a country in itself. Let ALL be given the chance to vote. No More Walkovers.
2. Apathy – let it be terminated once and for all. At least, increase in number of non-apathetic citizens. See what happens when this happens. Some are not even aware of the les meserables cooking fiasco.
3. I also hope ALL visiting your relatives chat about social issues and all issues that affect the singaporean community and see their reactions and see for yourselves are they afraid or not and how 1st world are these citizens in this aspect. And see for yourselves the mentality of singaporeans and why they are different than other 1st world citizens who have experienced somethings they have never. Ask they for their views on the many issues as highlighted in TOC in 2008. These alone will have enough talking points to serve as ice-breakers for long-time-no-see-relatives. And hopefully, you too can understand why i said although most in this TOC share similar thinking and views, they are small in number , about a couple of thousands at most and this number is neglible compared to 4.5 million. So, the majority in singapore do not think like most here. Do not be deceived by internet. You see many postings in social issue sites. But these are the few thousand only. The majority 4.4 million do not have interest in social issues, to the extent of visiting such websites to comment.
And thus, i see Not Much Have Changed despite all the Issues surfaced in 2008.
Reminiscent of when we see i estimated near hundred thousand who turned up at WP rallies in last election, only 33% out of the one who got the chance to vote (no walkovers) voted for the loyal opposition aka Alternative parties.
Take a look at this photo and tell me what has changed :

APATHY is real. See for yourselves.
Just to listen is too mission impossible.
2008 Tan Kim Lian had started support groups for minibood
2009 Tan Kim Lian should help to start support group for unemployed mid life
professionals
Happy Niu Year to ONE and ALL of TOC contributors. Lets also not forgetting those writing in their comments whose contribution also helps in TOC’s success, and readers who make up the ‘view’ numbers.
Lets hope and wish all Singaporeans dont ‘tak tiok gu sai’ but/or ‘kiok tiok gu lam’ (up to each to interpret).
Cheers, tong tong tong chiang !!

1. GE – allow me to exercise my rights……………………
I agree with you and most Singaporeans on this.
Singapore should return to the Single Member Constituency for General Elections. Abolish GRC as it does not make sense to emphasize on racial differences. Afterall, we are all Singaporeans.
Happy New Year everybody!!!
Happy New Year TOC.
Keep the great work going for a better future of our home, Singapore.
Happy Lunar New Year to all TOC’s fans.
Although time is really bad however giving out “Ang Pow” is still necessary especially to the elders n jnrs to share our joys of the festival of course the “Ang Pow” become smaller.
cows are supposed to be hard working creatures, but what can they do when there is no seeds to even sow?
