"I wanna tell you something, at a certain point in your life, probably when too much of it has gone by. You will open your eyes, and see yourself for who you are. Especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals. And you will say to yourself but I am this person, and in that statement, there will be a kind of love.

I HATE PROPAGANDA!!!!!

POLL! POLE! POH! ah.... watever...! like I actually care.... please.... Aiyo... why make such a big hooha abt a simple election.... if we're electing our PM, fine.... put his/her face on every poster my eyes come in contact with..... I might still think abt who i'm voting... but pls.... its jus the elections for our district..... do u have to make such a big fuss...

Seriously...... I had to go MEridIan pRimaRy ScH0OL to cast my 'SECRET VOTE' or 'SayCret vote'. I went there, people ushered, walked in, didn't even need to cue up or wait. Walked up to the table, some men took my passport and poll card then called out a serial number with my full name.... At this point if u're thinking of some nurse in a clinic calling ur name, then boy u're in for a shock. Well I wasn't expecting it, so it definately sounded funny and weird. Then in a quire way I took the polling card and walked up to the stand. My face was expressionless but my actions weren't... I didn't mean to look like this but I think I came across as if saying "Damn it. This is a waste of my time... so let's get this over and done with." I took the pen (didn't even read wat was on the paper), saw the lightning symbol and made a loud cross in the space given. Slammed the pen, stretched over to the box, shoved the paper in, and turned around and walked away.

At retrospect, when I stood at the stand, holding the pen, I thought to myself "Shit I'm voting for the First time!! This is so exciting..." yeah yeah so cliche so silly... but when I walked off I felt a little... yeah a tiny incy, wincy little bit patriotic.

Enough said, if u think the voting and propaganda is all over hyped... then u haven't seen the results.... haiz..... Singaporeans...

*shaking head* tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk.....
