Of Rallies & Elections

Today will the last day for rallies. Tomorrow will be Cooling Day. And the day after, general elections 2011.

I almost can't wait for Saturday to come.

Not only do I want to see what voters have chosen, I also want to see how badly the different parties are defeated. Most importantly, I am getting sick of people posting all sorts of political arguments on Facebook.

Once this whole thing is over, we can get back to our normal lives of relatively peace and quiet for the next few years. It is funny how the different voices of the parties came out only when elections draw near.

Next time round, I will be among the first voters to vote. Who knows which direction the wind will be blowing by then? If the ruling party does not step up to the game, it can soon lose an even bigger share of the pie.

But, in the end, what majority of the citizens want is a stable economy where the sun shines bright in all places and yet have lots of things to complain about. The reason being, a human being is never content with what he has, he is seldom grateful for the things he enjoyed now.
