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?

A Walk to Remember!?

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf...

Antara Anyir & Jakarta

I’ve been making regular monthly trips to KLIA since my husband was posted to Jakarta last year. And yesterday….. again, I made my ‘latest trip’ there to send him off (after the recent trip that I had on 3/3/06 when I picked him up from KLIA to spend his 10 solid-days holiday with me and the kids here in KL). Time sure flew fast when you wished for the earth to stop and let you enjoy your 10 days just a little bit longer. Nevertheless, the ‘most awaited 10-days’ was over…..Nik is now back in Jakarta and I’m now back in my office, sitting in my chair, swiveling around every 10 minutes, gazing lazily at the workload dumped on my desk and trying very hard to find every energy stored in my body just to touch those piles of paper…. argh! But the 10-days period was spent joyfully. We took the weekend off last week for a quickie getaway at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa…. and oh boy! the resort is spectacular and the view is breathtakingly-beautiful. Of course, the children were the happies...
