Voted for the first time in HK today, it felt curiously good.

I really don’t consider myself as much of a political person, but this weekend has been nothing but that. First came Friday when I finally decided to read up on the recent protest on National Education, didn’t like it one bit and made an effort to show my support by wearing black. Then Sat. came, after finishing off a little work at night, I made an effort to search and watch the debates of the election candidates. I didn’t sleep until around 3am when I was done reading through the voting package. I was trying to prepare myself to put in a more educated vote today. After confirming my votes with my political teacher (i.e. my sister as she had been infusing me with knowledge about the government structure and policies in HK every Sunday morning before church), I placed my most educated and rational vote this afternoon!

Even though there are much to disgust, I think I’m starting to care and love more about this city where I was born.
