After nine arduous days of campaigning, there's nothing left to do but to sit back and wait for Polling Day (July 10).

But until then, why not take a look back at some of the most iconic moments and the memes that have sprung up during this election?

12. Woke grandpa

Turns out Tan Cheng Bock is a bit of Hypebeast himself

11. Boyband or K-pop group?

They do have their similarities and the matching outfits help.

10. Where were they?

While Reform Party's secretary-general Kenneth Jeyeretnam was serving his stay-home notice and thus, understandably unable to physically turn up, the no-show of other party candidates definitely left people wondering where they went.

9. Loong or Yang?

Even his son laughed at him when he called Lee Hsien Yang the prime minister.

8. Sure win you

When independent candidate Shirwin Eu turned up at the nomination centre to contest in a five-man seat alone, you know memes were incoming.

7. What team?

In Dr Tan Cheng Bock's defence, PAP and PSP are just one letter apart, and he had represented the former for 26 years in Parliament.

6. General Gan's war cry

If you listen closely, you could almost hear her yell "Hormat senjata!" She's not actually that fierce though, she says.

5. Cockles of my heart

Jamus Lim amassed a fan club overnight right after the televised debate.

4. Everybody loves Tharman

'Nuff said.

3. #JinChuan

What happens when a politician shares a meme template of himself? The Internet runs away with it.

2. Charles Yeo

Perhaps one of the most relatable moments for many of us was watching Yeo struggle to deliver his speech in Mandarin.

1. The East Coast Plan

And of course, who can forget Heng Swee Keat's East Coast Plan?
