GOOD DECISION, PEOPLE!

ok - i take back what i said. i so damn wished that i was in m'sia yesterday. i wished that i had registered and voted. and be a part of history. oh well, at least i went to the celine dion concert last wednesday. i mean, that's a part of history too isn't it? hehehe.

i spent most of my yesterday evening in front of the computer (i'm making it sound like i rarely do this am i not) waiting relentlessly for the election results. i was using malaysiakini as my source. it was pretty thrilling to hear the news unravel one by one everytime i click the reload button. it was a very emotional evening (yes, there were tears). i never thought that i'd see the day when sammy vellu had to step down. and i never thought that i'd see the day when my state would be ruled by anyone apart from that particular party that everyone has grown accustomed to.

i feel proud. i feel proud that my fellow countrymen are willing to take the risk and give the opportunity for someone else to govern us. it takes guts to do this. scores of people were willing to go out of their comfort zone to vote for a change. and this is the result.

of course, this is just the beginning. things could either go for the better or for the worse. but at least we know that there is a possibility of things being better. i personally hope that some change would take place in my state. in my hometown. i'm kinda sick of having to defend it when my friends makes derogatory remarks about it. i want a carrefour in ipoh. and fitness first. and JCo donuts. ouh and l* queen. hehehe.

it was definitely a night of surprises. PLEASANT surprises.
