it has been a terribly exciting weekend.
i arrived in skudai around 2am (had to endure a few minutes of lecture on "why did u balik so lewat malam?"). then slept kejap. and then at 8.15am went to cast my vote at sek keb sri skudai with mak. mak had to go to sek men sri skudai. nasib within walking distance je. i was very excited and nervous sebab 1st time vote. but, pagi2 tak ramai orang and it was such a simple process. it was over and done with just in a few minutes. the suasana wasn't that much exciting because there were mostly the dark blue posters around.
then, we went back home and packed some stuff and proceeded to kuala lumpur. ayah had to vote in wangsa maju. there were so many cars on the road. macam raye je. the suasana in kl and selangor were so different. there were colourful posters everywhere. and people were not afraid to show their support for the non-ruling party.
we arrived around 3pm at the taman permata voting centre. while, ayah went to vote, me, mak and hammad walked about and prayed kejap. when ayah was done, as we were walking towards the car, he recognized his oldtime friend from his uk-days in one of the houses and we singgah kejap. lame lah derang bercerita macam2 cerita sensasi.
then, we went to kakyung's hous in shah alam and at night we went to kakyung's in laws' house in PJ. we ate satay while watching the polling results on TV. as we were guests, takkan nak excited lebih2 so tengok movie kat astro. results kat tv lembap yg amat and biased. walaupun dah dapat unofficial results awal, we were still reserved until it came out on TV coz anything could happen.
it was such an exhilirating night. everyone was in front of the tv watching the results. kakyung takde astro so we had to do away with the conventional malay channels. but it was soo exciting coz nearly the whole family was around (kak ngah je takde). sume org stayed up sampai dah tak larat. sian ayah coz he had to drive the next day.
on sunday morning, we went to kak ngah's house in serdang to pick her up and bring her back to skudai. after filling up our stomachs with roti canai, we set off for home coz i needed to catch my 6pm bus back to kuantan. sian ayah had to rush becoz of me tp dah terbeli tiket awal2, what to do.
even though i had barely 8 hours at home, i had quality time with my family. anyways, home is where the heart is and the heart is always with the family :)

I voted in Wangsa Maju too...actually my whole family did. but at different polling station la (SMK Taman Desa Setapak).
Gone an extra mile cam-whoring..Mcm jakun jerr ambik gambar time voting tuh..ahaha.
No one expected the result here in Wangsa Maju. Considered BN stronghold la..Anyways, that was thing in the past. Someone is still not getting the message though. Plain idiot.
sometimes the unexpected is a nice change :) i'm glad for the guy who won. im confident he'll do an excellent job!
