Incoherent ramblings. In light of the elections, my parents have instilled some knowledge in me that will help me in the near future when i'm going to start working and earning my own peanuts.. It has also opened my eyes as to how parents think. Well, how my parents think. I might as well be one of the handful of kids in the world who have parents who not only care about their own welfare, but also their children and their future. My parents constantly worry about how my brother and i are going to survive here... Have i mentioned that it makes me cry whenever they say something like,"If this goes on, you and your brother will spend 30 years paying off your flat. How are you going to have your own family like that?" The election has definitely opened my eyes to many things as well. Going to the rally, though only one, was one of the best experiences that i have and i have never regretted. I had weird stares at me because i obviously didn't belong there! I was wearing my TP shirt and i still look like a little girl and whatnots. But it was a very overwhelming experience i will never forget. There was a point where one of the candidates spoke about our CPF. And what immediately struck my mind was my parents. I was close to tears when i thought about how my parents have worked so hard, scrimping every day just to have a limit set on their OWN savings. I have observed and reflected on certain issues and with my lack of vocabulary, i can only put my words in 'twitter language'. I've tweeted quite a lot during the period of campaigning and it's made me think over many many things. Listening to various discussions and opinions have also led me to discovering new knowledge. I'm probably too tired to blog right now. And i can't put my words right. But despite not being able to vote tomorrow, i know who i stand for now. |
