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

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!...

Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...
