Intense moments

It was the day where the nation decides. The votes have all been cast, they're now being counted. And everywhere in the nation, everyone is glued in front of the TV watching the results as they are being announced live.

So far, it has been a bloodbath, so to speak.

As suspected, BN has won Sabah and Malacca. And PAS has retain Kelantan. And surprisingly, BN has won Perlis easily too. While the upsets would definitely be the lost of Penang to the opposition. Kedah and Perak are very close at the moment, and it's very hard to predict the winner for these two states. While everywhere else, the battle is tensed and heated. One thing for sure, BNs majorities have been significantly reduced.

If there is a time to be worried, now would be a good time.

And if there is a time to be rejoiced, now would be a good time too.

It's no surprise that it's going to be a very close fight. And it's no surprise that there will be plenty of upsets too. I think everyone is sick of watching the BN's commercial which keeps on appearing on TV every 5 minutes or so. And for someone who spends most of the nights in front of the TV, I was brainwashed by the commercial. Brainwashed into hating and loathing the frequency of the commercials.

My vote was based on that, simply for that reason alone.

Well, maybe there is another factor, come to think of it. I am also a sucker to cute Chinese Politicians.

But I digress.

From a landslide victory in 2004 for BN, it is now a different story for them. I think the people are getting sick and tired of the things that have been going on for the past 4 years, and it shows in the results. One thing I notice also is the number of spoilt votes which have increased too. This must be the ones who decided that both parties are incapable of running the country, and they want their voices to be heard.

One thing for sure, people is hoping for change.

And I think, in a few hours more, we might see some big changes.

Shall we fan the fire so that the frog can feel the heat a bit more? Looks like he's still thinking it's a steam bath & sauna bubbles only. When will this boiled frog snap out of his day dream?

Seademon,

Only when they really rule.

Ibu,

The frog is living inside a bubble he created himself, some false sense of security. Someone needs to pop that bubble.

Coops,

Yup, time will tell. It's going to be interesting from now on.
