Malaysian Election Day

Me and Alex decided on the election day which was last Saturday, 8 March 2008 was to just be a couch potato in front of the TV. So my hubby went to buy KFC for dinner...the plan was we were suppose to eat slowly in front of the TV while waiting for the election results (thats what couch potato do right)....well instead we gobble up everything in lest than half an hour...haha. I guess we were really hungry.

So back in front of the TV with my scorecard form....which was provided from the The Star newspaper waiting for the results. I guess it was a habit since small coz I would sit in front of the TV with my dad and write down the winners and the losers on the form. They promise the result at 7pm but as usual....malaysia time...the result came out much much later. So I keep flicking through the channels from TV1, TV3 and ASTRO AWANI (501) and 502. This Astro Awani bit slow lah....all they do is talk nonsense and analyse the whole situation...like lah we need to know all of that. So while taking down the results I realize that the opposition party was winning a lot especially in the 5 states (Kelantan, Kedah, Penang, Perak and Negeri Sembilan). Then it started to get interesting...hehe. We found out that that Kelantan and Penang won by majority by the opposition and that Negeri Sembilan was won back into the government before midnight. However for Kedah, Perak and Selangor....the results did not fully come out until 3.30am. By then me and hubby was too sleepy to wait up anymore and decided to go to sleep.

The next day...well actually few hours later in the newspaper, it was announce that opposition party took over Kelantan (PAS), Kedah (PAS), Penang (DAP), Perak (not sure which party yet) and Selangor (PKR)......hmm interesting. Oh yah...and KL too!

It is a political tsunami!
