Behind A Temporary Peace

...and a new age is born for Malaysia. For the social-media enlightened ones, that is.

Sure, some of us are kinda disappointed that they didn't succeed to toppl..... have a change in administration. But we're getting there.

Personally, before all this I really couldn't care less about who is up there, sitting on the ruling seat. I know whoever is there is going to be a croo.... an unliked person anyway. Besides, what with my A-Levels exam going on right now, I didn't think I have the time to care.

Apathy is happiness.

And then a few days before the BIG DAY, I made the mistake of checking Facebook one too many times. You know how  Facebook is usually full of government/opposition propaganda (depending who your friends are)? Well, it's hard to describe the feeling, but it was kinda like I was sucked into that whirlpool of emotions. It's like a herd/horde thing. Everybody in the same space, chanting the same message over and over again.... It's like a crowd in a concert, or a legion of fans at a game. You WILL be swept away by the current, no matter how hard you try.

And so, it sucked me in, messed with my mind, got me riled up, heightened my hopes, enraged my hamster, caused much disappointment, and spit me back out.

OF COURSE IT HURTS. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

I knew I shouldn't have cared.

Yesyes, before you go on and lecture me about how this is our country and how we are supposed to play our part in shaping the future etc etc, take a moment to think about this.

What do you think I can actually do right now?

Games emulate life, but one thing they always get
wrong is that life is not linear, and decisions are
so much harder to make.

I'm just a Pokemon loving student of A-Levels. Not eligible to vote. Prefers neutrality above all. And worst of all, fickle.

...I think I'll just focus on my A-Levels for now.

Just finished one week of intense paper 6s. I don't think I can do much thinking for now.

Now, given this temporary peace of post elec... decision making and the respite between now and the paper 5s in three weeks time, I think I should reflect on what I truly believe in, and how much of what I believe in does not stem from what others believe in.

Belief is a very dangerous thing to have,

especially if it's not yours

But I believe that pure ranting will not do anything to solve the problem at all. I'm going to find something to do.

Cya later.
