The event of the year is here! Like finally... In fact I've been waiting for it for a while.
Tomorrow is the start of the real action, and I think I might get too excited to sleep properly tonight.
These days, all I tend to talk about is politics. That is something I'd never imagine myself doing 5 years ago. But I'm truly glad to be part of this very exciting elections that seems promising of some real breakthrough.
All the opposition vigour and conviction of fightly against the odds have somehow rubbed off me. I don't think I can feel the same on the white-on-white camp except that most of the time they come out as very defensive.
How is one supposed to make a choice? Based on reports you see in the media? Based on what u see online? Based on looks/age/gender/race/gut feelings? What if the choice doesn't really give you REAL choice?
While I agree with the need more more alternative voices, I do not believe in condoning bad voices. So then, how do I make my choice?
A friend has suggested I blog more to share some of my personal experience since I've got the chance to have real personal contact with the different camps. Actually I would very much like to have a personal document of this as well. But I'm one who need to think thru my post thoroughly before I can post and after a long day at work with overflowing info and thereafter staring at computer screen and listening and re-listening soundbites, I tend to get too tired to sit down and sort out my thoughts for a coherent post. Nonetheless, I shall try.
This election is the 1st time I am eligible to vote (it still remains to be seen if I get to vote tho). This election is the 1st I get to cover as a journalist. It's going to be tough, it's going to be tiring, but now, I'm rearing to go!
