PRU 12 2008

This is from an email that I wrote to a dear friend. Just wanted to stick this here to remind me of the first election that I was an active participant of.

elections fever is on. every damn one was and still is talking about elections and results. going to vote was a very... somber experience. i woke up at my bfs place at about 2 pm and thought shit sure damn late oredi so i told him to send me to the polling station and ask him to immediately drive to sri aman so that he won;'t be late for voting. i even walked home okay from the polling station but it's only 2 streets away from my home. walked in, every one quite. a lot of ppl walking in a manner that is like how ants move. all follow invisible line wan. everyone looked serious. i went to the stream (classroom) that i'm supposed to vote in.show them my ic. then the woman announce my name and ic no and some other no. to other ppl for checking purpose. then i'm given an orange ballot paper. wah, felt like damn grown up and at the same time felt giddy with excitement and unsure of how to really do it. a bit kancheong la in case undi rosak. so i went to a counter with that barrier cover and put my cross on it. no prize for guessing where my pangkah was at. i even double checked just in case i pangkah wrong okay. damn embarassing if pangkah wrongly k...

anyhow my area is now DAP area! a malay area, now a DAP area. u can just guess how dissatisfied everyone were with the govt. at night my bf and i stayed in just to watch the results on tv. i think if u were up to check the results online u probably would have gotten the updates faster than i did because GODDAMNIT the results on tv damn slow. I think because those ppl damn inefficient and also because they didn't wanna create havoc by showing so many loss so early. i went online to get update too but my wifi was bit cuckoo so that didn't work out v. well. my dad got updates by phone calls though through some uncle who's quite pro mca. was damn happy when i heard that opp won few states. hahaha imagine me cheering at home at the tv.

a political analyst invited by tv3 was being quite an idiot towards the end, maybe around 2ish. it was damn obvious he's either stupid, or trying very hard to incite racial riot. the results were out that 2/3 majority has been denied, then the stupid analyst kept saying things like oh now it's very hard to continue the policy of using bm as the national language as stated by the 'undang2' because now 'WE' don't have the 2/3 majority. is he stupid or what for using the word we? i mean, he's on national tv, and he's supposed to be an independent analyst. that asshole oso brought up some other malay issues la that i obviously cannot remember oredi. my bf and i were so fucking stunned okay!!
