For Malaysia

9th May 2018 marks Malaysia's 14th General Election. As I was writing this, it is 12 am sharp, 10th May. We are still waiting for the results of the election. I feel so strong urge to type out my thought right now. So here I am.

p/s I am not siding any political parties. But I feel so overwhelmed and touched by Malaysian during the whole election process from the announcement of the election day till today.

The first thing that touched me was the spirit of lending a hand shown by Malaysian. This year election was held on May 9 (Wednesday) which was a weekday for us. It is quite troublesome for us to travel back to our hometown to vote. So, people has created #carpoolGE14 on Twitter. So basically they are calling for those who have the same destination but have trouble finding transport to carpool with strangers. It feels like despite different races and political believes, people get together as a nation for the hope of the country.

There have been news circulating around about oversea voters that did not manage to get their postal votes or receiving them to late to be posted back. As far as I read, the postal votes much reach the election council on 9th May at 5.00 pm. This prompts to having discssuion among Malaysian that lives oversea in FB group GE14: Postal Voters Discussion. They are all in hand trying to help bringing the votes home on time.

As a Chinese minority living in a Malay majority state, I sometimes faced racism by them. Though it is just a small population that are harsh but it does not deny the fact that we are treated differently because of our races and believes.

It is almost 3.30 am now in Malaysia. Tun M has announced the final verdict. PH won with 116 parlimentary seats. I shall update this entry further more, in a more organized way when I am free. Higher chances are I will not be updating but let us keep positive thoughts only.

A little update. The reason why I am so lacking in updating my blog is because I am so busy. Initially, I thought I would do an update once in 2 semester of my degree life. Just to documenting my life. But last semester, my team members organized a Movie Night which was a huge success and then during the sem break, I went for industrial attachment. It will be 2 different entries. I hope. This semester, I am busy with organizing the senior's' Oath Taking Ceremony. At this moment, I am totally exhausted. Mind and body.

I am now in study break but with all the planning and decision making, I have not have the chance to revise. I know, I'll be date. After finals, the ceremony will be on 10th June. After that, I will be going for a family vacation. Back from the vacation, I am expected to take up the maid's job of cleaning poop and taking care of my dogs. It is suppose to be a month long. By then, new semester will commence. Hopefully, by then I will be a final year student. Can't wait! So I basically laid out my whole plan till Dec already.

Please expect very slow delay. By the way, just before I forget, we have another addition to our family. We recently welcome another Danes (Yes, I know. I am crazy right). Ohh, I got so much to tell. We named her Luna, which means "Moon Goddess"

I will be back.

9th May marked a very historical day for all Malaysian
