Should I be scared of that little machine and voting ?

My family members and friends will tell you that there are not many things that I am terribly afraid of I am quite a dare-devil when it comes to exciting thrilling stuff... but today... i got scared for a minute.

I was in the office washroom, minding my own business and washing my hand, suddenly, I heard the hand dryer 'coughing' up funny noises and its sounds like it will explode.... hmm... I felt trapped in the little washroom and with double locks on the door... escape doesn't seem like a very feasible version / it doesn't seem like i might be able get out fast enough . ( Plus the fact that the dryer is just next to the door ! ) hmm....

OK... enough drama.... I got out fine but I am sure the dryer is still 'coughing'. Was I afraid to die ? Did I really think that little dryer was going to explode on me ? Ha Ha Ha...

I feel old ... ...

everyone around me seems to be younger. I looked at Singapore's Register of Electors and I found myself registered and ready to vote... hmm... i think voting really marks and voting has always equals responsibilities...

I always thought that voting is a privillege and that everyone should go to the polls. Whether he/she puts a cross or a tick and where he/she puts it is not important, it is more important if he/he does turn out, he/she will have a voice and the choice of candidate is secondary.... Am I wrong ?
