I was offered the chance to follow Workers' Party (WP) candidate for East Coast GRC, National University of Singapore (NUS) Sociology Associate Professor Daniel Goh on a walkabout this morning.

The brief was to meet at Simei MRT. But that's so run-off-the-mill.

Why not start from his home, I asked, half expecting to be turned down. But to my surprise they agreed.

What I got was a glimpse into the life of a rather average Singaporean, a life not unlike yours or mine.

"See you tonight."
