Why am I even losing sleep over the GE?
因為投票是強制性的
No walkover this time round - this year, I'm actually given a choice... Coming to almost 30 years of my life and it's the 1st time I'm going to vote...!
And i believe there are many more just like me... Funny thing is this is only the 2nd time my dad is voting... Dunno if it's a good thing or not to be able to vote...
這的確是神聖的一票啊!因此。。。我失眠了。因為有沒有可能我再也沒機會投票了呢?
This year, it seems like majority of us are filled with choices... So it's all about making a choice we really want... We get to choose the voice we want to hear, the person we want to see, the life we wish to lead n of coz... Most importantly the change that we are anticipating for the land we call home.
這似乎讓我聯想起之前美國的選舉。不知道我有沒有記錯,當年的選票都傾向"改革",傾向"變化"。。。
Seems to me that different parties advocate different views... This is a dilemma to me...
應該以國家還是人民為重心呢?這對我而言就好像是先有雞還是先有蛋一樣。。。
I am in no doubt being brought up in a place where everything is planned for. In a way, I'm proud that we have a competent government that so many envy... And yet, I'm disheartened because I feel that is exactly the reason why we become "incompetent" in some ways or other. We are in the comfort zone for far too long which makes us individuals lose the drive and survival skills that we ought to have in life.
這就好像父母過度庇護孩子,使得沒有經歷風雨的孩子不知道原來江湖險惡、原來討生活並不簡單、原來安稳的環境並不是理所當然。慢慢的,當孩子必須離開避風港時,才發現原來現實是殘酷的。這時候該怎麼辦呢?
Some choose to overcome it by putting in effort to adapt to reality... Some will just fall behind, not knowing how to adapt becoz they are just too used to having someone pave the way... Either way, there comes a time when one feels exhausted trying to keep up with rocketing living standards, and needs to seek solace... Finding someone who can lend a shoulder to lean on or listen to their woes, finding a private space, to catch a breath... And if all fails, seek the VOICE that wants to be heard... Before joining the rat race again...
周圍很多人好像都已經心里有數了。怎麼這几天所有同我聊到選舉的人都那麼一致地叫我給"她"一個機會?我考慮了很久,卻還是沒有答案。不知道應該理性還是感性?必竟,這關乎國家的前景,也牽系着我們的未來。
Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow...
我就得投下那神聖的一票
Do not ask me who I will vote for nor tell me who u will vote for
因為投票是秘密的。哈哈!
