Dinner during the Malaysian General Election Day ‘08
What a day to elect your most favored party seeing as you can only vote once every few years for the representatives that would become your government, to decide nation and state decisions, to listen to your complaints, to change the current situation the country is in. Oh so much to mention. Basically, you’re voting to elect the people whose gonna boss you around choose who is going to make decisions on behalf of the people.
Sad to say, I wasn’t able to vote this round..I’m a month shy of 21. So what did I do? I went and celebrate my Grandmother’s birthday in the evening at a restaurant with the rest of the family and extended family 
I’ve got nothing to complain as long as there is food 
Theres decently delicious food, kind of decent restaurant, noisy but happy environment, lots of babies and kids to play with, lots of relatives to talk to. What more can I ask for? …a lounging area?
“If only this was a beach and not a noisy restaurant…”
Woah…I didn’t know they have lounging services to go with food and atmosphere…hand me one of them lounging chairs won’tcha? Oh wait…what’s there to the right?
“Aiyoh…opposition di di nya! (Aiyoh…the opposition keeps winning!)”
Oh chiu…and here I thought I would get to enjoy the “lounging services” as well. What a kill joy! Who watches the news when there are good food, huh?! And to my understanding…that’s the restaurant owner there lounging.
“So what’s the result huh?”
“What’re you all watching?”
“Yao pai dang… (still got a long wait…)”
“Pay attention to me! Not to the TV!”
A supposedly crowded restaurant with people sitting around enjoying the food and each others’ company has turned out to be a cinema for watching the election results. However, as the next dish was served, the people gradually went back to their seats and eat…
“Mmm…yum!! Later only go watch again…”
When I did an imaginary interview with the people asking their opinions on this year’s election:
“I’m on camera! Cheese!!”
“Errr…no comments…!”
“BLEEEEEEEEEEEH!!”
“Huhuhuhu…do’h…”
“HEY! Can’t you see I’m eating this HUGE peach of youth?!”
“Hey ma! We’re on camera! I wanna say hi to my family, my friends, my…”
Oh well…I guess food are the only things on their mind at the moment and also the camera that is…LOL. Anyway, it seems BN has taken a HUGE loss this time around. Just goes to show how dissatisfied Malaysians are with their lack of promises and the way they are handling things. If things continue to stay the way it is before…BN, I doubt anyone would be able to save your asses in the next election.
Other than the fact that BN got their butts whooped by the opposition parties, I had a great time having dinner at the restaurant while they worried about their jobs.
