general shirt-lection 2011

the time has come! (:

It's time to vote for your favorite shirt amongst the designs. There are 6 designs, 3 main designs but out of the 3 there are 2 different fonts. You can check out the designs and then visit http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_187403854614221 to vote. do note that you have to be logged in on facebook (if you really do not want to end up getting hooked in that dangerous social networking site, i strongly suggest you postpone this to after exams) and be a member of the closed group in order to cast your vote!

Here are the designs:

As yenter said, every vote counts and do vote wisely. So apparently all the shirts are white so it seems as if we don't really have much of a choice, do we? (this is really the downside to the current political system in singapore which benefits only the incumbent and disadvantages others who desire a new and refreshed voice in the parliament, besides manipulating freedom of choice and flexibility, which results in a loss of talent and resources)

Think carefully about your vote and vote wisely, with your heart (or you will have the next 5 years to repent and regret - haha kidding). And don't worry you can always withdraw your vote and vote for something else. (no spoilt votes in facebook sorry).

Try to vote as soon as possible. Lastly, it's two days til the end of mid year common test, so all the best!

next up, annual camp prep! :D
