Everyone is talking about the watershed election we just had – in the sense that the weather was so hot during the election, you wished you were in a shed filled with water.
Because of the General Election, I learned a few surprising things
One is that Choa Chu Kang is spelled “Chua Chu Kang” when referring to the constituency. Almost everywhere else – road signs, MRT station, columbarium – it’s Choa Chu Kang.
But it’s Chua Chu Kang for the community club, primary school and secondary school. Confusing much?
And just my luck, I live in Chua Chu Kang – or is it Choa Chu Kang?
Maybe I should just move to Yishun. Or is it Nee Soon? Alamak.
