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

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).

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.

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
