The Inconvenient Truth

New Years Morning in Malaysia
1)Waking Up and getting ready for the day
2)Head to mamak with family
3)Enjoy a nice ghee thosai with milo ais on the side

New Years Morning in Canada
1)Wake up and get ready
2) All Coffee Shops are closed on New Years Morning
Tim's Y U NO OPEN !
3)Retreat back to home base and enjoy dates and a kitkat bar with seniors

I'm really starting to miss the Malaysian mamak scene ! Endless Food ! Anytime ! Anyplace !
Be thankful guys !

So far, its been a pretty uneventful New Years Morning. To be fair, its only 10 am though XD

I've been looking through some of my friends wall posts this morning and I came across a very interesting video of what the kids back home are up to. For New Years Eve, they planned a reenactment of one of the scenes from V for Vendetta. If 2011 was the uprising of the protester, could 2012 be the year of glory for the oppressed ?

Anyway, this kind of got me thinking. I'll be 20 this year, and the following year, I'll be of the legal age to vote.Im starting to understand why people say that 'Ignorance is bliss'. Previously before, i could care less about politics in my country and whats going on because i play no part in it. But now, its dawned on me that I can't be ignorant. I can't anymore ! Soon I'll be given the power to change my nation and as a result the accountability of how i used my power to change my nation for better or worse.

Can you imagine that what you vote now will change how your children will live in 10,20,30 years !

Its a frightening prospect really, how do you pick whats best for you and best for your children ? Which is better and which is best ?
I have to start considering these things from now

My 2012 will be marked with the loss of ignorance and innocence
