Happy Election Day, everyone!
Maybe it's kinda late to said so but the euphoria still around somehow.
I couldn't make the post on the D-Day because I am too tired.
Tired after stay at the TPS? Uh-uh wrong.
Tired after watching Captain America : The Winter Soilder with my friend.
Am I such a bad citizen? You name it.
But wait, let hear my explanation before you judge me.
First, the administrative thingy. I am not registered in my dormitory area yet. Actually it's not a reason at all since the student housing office willingly serve anyone who want to vote but didn't registered or didn't bring the A5 form as it's required.
So, move to the second and main reason I didn't use my right to vote.
I didn't know who to choose.
Yea if I am in my hometown, I also didn't know who to choose at first since I percieve that everyone who run for legislative are all the same.
But I might see from the web that some students made about the review and background from several candidate.
Or maybe I help a friend of my father or my mother.
The point is, that is MY hometown that I vote for. And in my perspective, different place should be represent by different type of people.
Am I right?
And living in a new place, I don't know yet what kind of people do they need, what kind of people who run for the election, and else.
Besides, even if I am legally have the right to vote, do I eligible to decide my nation future based on my limited knowledge?
I don't want to risk a city's future based on my vote.
Some might said that one vote means nothing, but what if all of us think that way and accidentaly we choose the wrong person?
I might seems that I am aphatetic but really, I am not.
I always encourage my mother to use her vote since she always deny to use hers.
I always said that out there somewhere women are forbid to speak up their mind and they are dying to have the right that my mom has been wasted-for instance: her daugther.
But it was before I have my right to vote.
This is not my first time to elect, though.
I have used mine on the Governor election last year (if I'm not mistaken)
I was thrilled to have the chance to vote, back then.
People might said that is right, but to me it is more to responsible.
We have to be responsible for our decision.
I am excited to vote and have the feeling that I have the authority to decide something. Hehehe
And I don't want to be that kind of people who "golput" but guff the loudest when the elected legislative/president/else can't run the government based on their urge.
There's an advertisment that tell us the budget for this election is 170 triliun rupiah.
Quite an amount, huh?
Also there's suddenly promotion everywhere. From discount untill free merchandise for people who shows that they have already use their right to vote.
I am wondering.... is that the price for your vote?
Somepeople might just choose random person just to get that promo.
Well, I feel pity for my beloved nation whose citizen are easily being bought.
Talking about how I want to change my nation might take a while.
I almost, wait, not almost sih-_-
I once loose my sight for what I want to be because of my failure to enter the "University of this nation Ministry"
I once said to myself that I don't want to contribute anything and be a good, normal citizen.
So, I enter my current university with a changing vision every second.
One minute I want to be a banker, the next minute I decided to be an auditor but then I saw how fun it is to work in a multinational company then I want to be the accountant for a multinational company.
But last holiday I met Kak Bika and suddenly I remember the reason why I want to change this country.
I might hate it sometimes but once again, this is where I spend the last 18 years and it provides me eeeeverything that I need ever since.
Besides, before holiday I intended to talk to my parents about my following concentration choice.
When I talked, suddenly my dad asked my whether I really gave up on *beep*
I was speechless. My father knew that I am confused than he explained what it's take and what am I going to lose.
I know that all my parents want is just a financial security for me.
But living this past 8 months in a private collage courage me to work in a private sector also.
And somehow, I really want to work in the "evil round" aka S C B D. Huehuehue
Actually, I think that no matter which way we use, we can finally reach that destination if only we have the clear vision and never let anything to change it-which quite difficult thing to do for me.
But today I decide to follow my parents wish.
I will try as hard as I can and I believe whatever the result will be, it's the right choice that God give me and that is the way that God shows me. Amin
Wish me luck!-
Sandya
Ps: no more lolita on my footmark yaa since I don't want to be with Dharma anymore. Huehuehue
