The month of May always brings so much excitement because it’s my birthday month!! =)
During my days as a student, the month of May was often frowned upon because it’s the month of the dreadful exams. I, too, hated exams.
When I proceeded on to university, everything was rosier for the month. Exams took place in April instead. Just when I thought I was free from exams in May, work presents tougher tests for me to conquer year on year. Last year, I was busy with the Open House, this year, yet another event of possibly similar scale. My luck? haha..
This year, May 7 also presents an exciting day for Singapore. The General Elections! I have been reading up furiously on the GE news and attended my first ever rally. How exciting! But but, I won’t be voting because the opposition in my constituency was 20 seconds late.. haha…
Taking that aside, I am truly heartened that Singaporeans are taking greater interest in national issues that will affect our generation and beyond. If we ourselves are not interested, then who should be? I do hope this level of interest will continue to sustain after the GE fever.
Whichever side you take, let’s hope everyone will vote rationally on polling day. For many, this could be the first time that you will be voting. Your vote is important and do vote wisely. =)
