First thing I did was I got up at 7.30 and got ready. The second thing I did was that I went to the Election Hall, which was conveniently located behind my house. I waited in line for ten minutes along with a bunch of old people and the reporters from Sin Chew Jit Poh/Nanyang came and started taking pictures. I know because someone else asked and one of them said they were from so and so. One of the old guys behind me said our pics will probably come out because we have the young, the old and the foreigner lining up to vote.
Then suddenly someone comes and says, 'Wait at the other gate!' Everyone was like 'Huh? What's going on?' And then one minute after that, we were allowed in and we find out exactly what that someone meant: the registration booth was located on the other side of the school where everyone was waiting at and so we have to march around the school, looking like a makeshift version of Bruce Willis' Armageddon march. So it wasn't cool at all, although there was some fanfare from the two photographers following us and taking our pictures.
Anyways we arrived at the registration counter...at last...and lined up for them to give us the number. Then it was my turn and I watched as the lady flipped the page so that she can find my name. I was thinking, 'You know...maybe this year I've moved up a few pages so that I'm not on the last page this time like my first time voting in 2004.' Of course...I'm still on the last page. Granted I'm not the third last name like last time but
I'm still on the last freaking page damnit! Damnit you young uns! Can't you like at least take a freaking interest in the country's leaders and choose who to vote instead of saying 'I don't have time to go to the post office!' Ahem...rant is over...
So I went in to vote and there I'm through with voting day today! Hoorah! Oh and in case you're wondering who I voted for, let me say this: the opposition in my place is Anwar's party. I don't vote for a party who exists and lives for one man only so that answers your question, no?
This one was still fun regardless. Until my third election then and make sure you register before then. ^_^
TTFN.
