Voting day!!!

Met up with jason this morning to go to our primary school to vote. My lane at that time was empty and hence i only spent around 1.5mins at that place. It was really easy.

I think young people like me are really getting apolitical. Many uncles and aunties are gathering at various places waving flags and banners cheering for the party they support. Young people like me just stay home and kiao kah. Many of us are more excited about getting to vote for the first time than the policies the different parties are proposing. Occasionally one or 2 friends will come up with a theory about why the governement is good or bad but I doubt they really know what they are saying.

Anyway, I don't see our lives going to change much lah. We won't starve to death but we won't live like kings also. To be honest, I actually feel quite sian about the life that is ahead of me. After graduation at 25, I will have a debt of 30K to pay. Supposing I earn 2.6K a month as an engineer, I will need to pay 1K per month in order to clear within 3 years. And I have to deduct the money that goes to CPF and some other necessary expenses. My parents would have retired and my brother will be studying in NUS. That 3 years till I'm 28 will not be very pleasant. I'll try not to think what comes after 28.

All I can do now is to ensure I get a better paying job in the future
