The New Malaysia

The change in the government of Malaysia has never happened before for the past 60 years until GE14 (14th General Election) took place on 9 May 2018. The opposition coalition party won the election over the former government party that has never been beaten until recently. It would be a new change in the administration of Malaysia. Even though I am not eligible to vote yet, but I do know this election is a major news around the globe, a mark of history in Malaysia. Perhaps this event will be mentioned in a lot of school textbooks in the future.

My mother complained about her index finger being dipped with ink. Well, the perks of being a woman who liked to look pretty I suppose. My parents went voting though. However, the parliamentary seats in my state falls to the new opposition party which was the former ruling party. You know, I am in Sarawak so obviously the new opposition got a place here since the parliamentary seats in Sarawak that they won contributed the most seats in GE14.

I even read twitters about some areas where the votes were counted, the votes were counted for the 4th round. Why would they count thousands of votes that much for 4 times? Can't accept the defeat or what? I hope no corruption is involved because of this reason and also for this reason.

Anyway, I am glad that the 7th Prime Minister of Malaysia is Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who was also the 4th Prime Minister of Malaysia. At the age of 93, he would be the world's oldest living Prime Minister or leader ever! I am really looking forward to this new era. May Malaysia soar upwards and its people becoming more educated and well behaved.

Today I breathed a new air. The air of the new Malaysia. Never been this glad about the change in the government party. Democracy is definitely at work. Anyway I had been wondering, what will happen to the last Prime Minister(Najib Razak)? Is there any further news about him? Well, it does not matter. As long as Malaysia, my country has a new Prime Minister who will bring big changes in Malaysia once more! Hopefully about the education systems in Malaysia which had been terribly wrong and the issue of GST. I got this vibe that it was like another new independence happened in this country.

Top 10 Facts About Me

1. I like to collect novels
Novels had been my favourite since I was 10 years old. Usually I am into science fiction, fantasy, mystery, and romance. I am not a big fan of horror stories. Very few guys like to read novels, you know. Few examples like, Paper Towns by John Green, Mr Mystery Series by James Lee, The Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare and The Eye of Minds by James Dashner.

                          

 

 

2. I hate horror things
Believe it or not, I really hate things look scary or creepy. Even I hate to watch horror movies. It was not that I am afraid, it was just because I do not believe in such things. I mean, did these things even exists? Whenever a friend pranked me with a ghost photo, instead of traumatised, I was disgusted of its ugly features. I mean, who cares? They are not human. I also not a big fan of skull symbols, anything related to metal music or blood and gore. It makes me uncomfortable just to think about it, what more to say about looking at such things. So, never try to invite me over for a horror movie night.

3. I can speak 5 languages fluently
Currently I can speak 5 languages fluently but I think I could understand Thai a bit more than anticipated. I speak Malaysian Malay, English, Mandarin, Iban and Melanau. Iban is a language I learned from my friends, also learned a little from my mother. It is a local language spoke by Iban people in Borneo. Melanau is my mother tongue. So basically, I learned to speak it almost effortless. It is a rare language among the Melanau people in Borneo because the Melanau I spoke is from Rajang. Well, there's only one village I know of spoke this kind of Melanau, it is Kampung Bedil near a small town called Kanowit.

4. I like to hide my talents from others
I had a few talents so I hid them from others because no one would believe me if I said so. Like I could draw well, even portraits. I also can sing very well. I can sing ballads, pop and opera. I never sang in front of others. Too scared and afraid of being negatively judged. And yet, my mother kept bringing me to have some karaoke sessions because she and I can sing duets. Another talent was playing piano. If I can sing, so playing piano is not odd. I only had until Grade 3 certified in ABRSM (Associated Board of Royal School of Music) because I wanted to focus more on the school academic syllabus.

5. I hate and never smoked or drunk
Isn't smoking cause our respiratory system to lose its optimal functions? And I know it also reduces IQ level among youths. And too much alcohol is bad because it can cause liver malfunction and changes in the mental health. Well, if I am stressed, I don't do those things because God is there for us. So just pray to God and remain calm in Him.

6. I hate coffee
If someone ever asked me, "Coffee or tea?" A definite "tea" of course. I never had coffee for breakfast. I had milk instead. I do not know why but I really hate coffee due to its caffeine content I guess? So no Starbucks for me.

7. I liked to play computer games
If I had leisure, I would play computer games. I enjoyed playing it like I read stories from books. I like challenging games like Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Crysis 3 and Half Life 2. For mind challenging games, I play Nancy Drew games and Life Is Strange. I had the liberty to play computer games as long as I could keep up with my grades and daily chores.
