Every 5 years. (1st time)

This year Singapore's Election is really exciting. Amidst all the "celebrity" opposition candidate, the ones that really impressed are from a party I previously thought was led by a crazy guy. It is really interesting how the media and social media affects our mind. The emotions they create and the ideas they put in us fuelled our buried feelings and some disappointment.

The ruling party was flamed by many netizens by their choice of candidates and them not resolving some issues. I too have my issues and wish dearly that it can be properly addressed and resolved. In the rally, there were many proposals put up, some make sense some don't. Yet, some just choose to keep justifying with no resolutions made. I used to think that I do not care about politics, but this GE has really attracted my attention. The root stems in not discontentment but wishing to see my country moving forward and keep improving. Many tell me I have an easy decision to make, but how can this be so if the good candidate is openly gay?!??!?

The generation Y have led a good life, we grew up in a time of prosperity in Singapore (even with some crisis from time to time). The government handled countless issues so smoothly that sometimes I cannot foresee what will happen if things does not go well. Till date even though there were some blunders made, I truly felt that overall it was still a job done well. I live a sheltered and happy life.

Whenever I travelled and see the good and bad in foreign lands, Singapore is always like a basis of comparison for me. Yet, I felt increasingly out of place. My mother (I love you, Mum!) constant nagging at home doesn't help the situation either. I want to move out to live on my own, but the prices of the houses kept me back at my parent's home. In this materialistic and expensive city, people become brand concious, and many are always worrying about their bills. It is sad but there seemed to be a high proportion of people here always worrying and complaining. I don't think complaining is a genetic defect. It should be more of a society issue. Hopefully, someone can persuade me to vote for him/her by 7 May. If you want to get the 14k a month pay, you better do a damn good job in convincing me.
