Sailor Went Voting

The Sailor... 
The aftermath of PRU13 continues....

PRU13 saw a big chunk of voters came out and voted for the first time on Sunday... and this Voters-Tsunami went across racial boundaries.  Analysts were saying that approximately 3mil out of total votes last Sunday were derived from First-time Voters (who are mostly below 35 and hailed from urban areas) and majority of them did so for the sake of BN's opponent (Nope... Yours Truly is not part of the statistics because I exercised my right for the second time already).

Some statistics that I managed to pull out yesterday: 

BN polled 5,237,699 votes for the federal seats while Pakatan Rakyat parties’ combined managed to pull 5,623,984 votes

The PR pact also surpassed BN in the state seats, scoring in 4,879,699 votes in comparison to BN’s 4,513,997 votes.

The voting pattern this year showed BN grew weaker than before in terms of total votes (BN vs Opposition) – analysts were also saying that this is an indication of a strong wave of rejection from all Malaysians, generally, and not just from minority Chinese.  However BN scored more seats than the Opposition, hence making them the ruling party, yet again, for the next 5 years.  It was also speculated that the swing in voting patterns could be the result of the aspiration of young, urban, middle class Malaysians who wished to manoeuvre the direction of our current state to a new Malaysia, free from cronyism, corruption and excessive spending by the ruling government … so they say.

Oh well.. all I can say is.. the votes had been casted and results were out on Monday nite.  Like it or not, the results will be there to stay for the next term.  As Muslims, we believe in Qada’ and Qadar... now, let’s stop pointing fingers and blaming others.  

Let's unite for a better Malaysia.  For the losing party, please don’t be a sore loser.  Move on and start planning on how you can make the lives of the rakyat better, in countries where you are ruling now.  For the winning party, there’s no ‘such Tsunami’ like what you've claimed.. just that your rakyat wants you to be more transparent and fair, and this wish comes across our racial lines, like I've just stated earlier.  Stop trying to stir the attention away from the issues at hand…..

So… wake up guys… the rakyat is watching and waiting…. and do take note that their patience is running thin…

That's the dakwat kekal....

... so kekal it transferred from my finger to my face
.... stayed on me till evening.
So Nik had to explained to everyone  that he didn't hit me.. hahahha

Hilang

hadirnya tak pernah diduga tidak juga diundang terus mancarik dan merobek koyak tak pernah sekali pun  dirawat dibiar bernanah sampai bila? sinar terik  yang bisa mencairkan  malam yang hitam pekat  yang bisa menyesatkan harus tidak mampu  menyuluh jalan pulang mungkinkah  ini telah dijanjikan seperti nukilan yang tiada penghujung seperti irama yang tiada noktah haruskah pasrah?

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...

The Day I Decided To Write Again

I've closed this door some years ago... and I thought I'd be closing it for good.  Even my last visit here was years ago.  Today I decided to open it up again.... and maybe I should start writing again.  So many things happened in the last few years, good and bad, happy and sad... now, I guess, is just the time to share some and to keep them here as memories. Welcome back to my space.
