QUICKIE:
five - four - four - seven
this 12 general election marks my maiden election.

a subtle experience awaits as i voted. i went to my polling centre solo as i was separated from my much more experience parents. being totally new at this, i did not know what to expect. my IC was handed over to the volunteer and with my voting serial number, he traced my name on the list. a little bewildered, the guy asked for the pronunciation of my name. i whispered phyllis treating the voting centre like a library. without any warning, the guy piped up my voting serial number, my IC number and my name. standing right in front of the guy and not expecting such an amplified voice, i jumped. a little embarrassed, i swear i heard little giggles from the witnesses afar.
i walked to the voting box and as i stared at the ballot paper for the very first time... i hesitated... how do you vote again? was it an X or a tick? talk about first timer anxiety...
bt i managed in the end and voted for reasons that are personal.
tonight will be interesting... half of the nation will be gluing themselves to the television to know the outcome of this morning's vote.
there will be both tears of joy and sorrow but by tomorrow morning, there will be a new government for us all.
5-4-4-7 is my voting serial no.
UPDATE
last night malaysians decided and made history. we're looking for a revolution and for the first time since our independence, we have a mix government. some say it could be caused by the 1.4 million new voters who had a different idea. even political blogger jeffrey ooi made it as a new MP.... congrats! that's the beauty of democracy people.
