Election Day

It was 7hb April 2009, the day that would change the political environment in Perak especially. Whatever the result would be, it would be the voice and the choice of citizen.

I was placed at Sekolah Menengah Simpang, near with the place I stayed. But still, we had to drive to go there.

I arrived near 7 o'clock in the morning and many faces I could see preparing for the special day. In the beginning, Kak Aliah parked her car at a mosque, it quite far from the election place.

We met with a convoy from Johor...they gave us 3 bottles of 100 plus. We thanked them and opened our steps.

Not even arrived 1 km of walking, Kak Aliah changed her decision to park at mosque parking because it would be difficult if something urgent appear. So she turned back and drove the car while we were waiting at a reserved car park beside the road.

The funny thing was, the passerby thought we (me and Najihah-newlywed) were 'tarik undi'. Hahaha...why? Because we were holding PAS umbrella and fans.

Traffic jammed

After an hour 'tarik undi' at beside the road, kak Aliah asked me to follow to pick any electors that didn't have any transport to go. We went wandering with Cikgu Zamry's van. The traffic was smooth and clear on the way go...

We got to bring a Chinese woman to Sekolah Menengah Jenis Cina, it was quite was from her place. We went all the way to Air Kuning road and we could see the traffic from the other side was jammed. We would be going through it on our way back.

We continued our searching at Taman Sri Larut, and we found a Hindi woman that would like to go at 11 o'clock. Her election place was far ahead from Sek. Men. Simpang. It took nearly two hours to pick and send her back to her home. What a journey... and it gave me headache.

I remembered a HPA consultant that came to my place and saw me taking paracetamol to get the headache away. Maybe I was so unlucky and lucky...I was unlucky because I didn't want anyone to see me taking it and I was lucky because she got to tell me about my health condition through my hand that instant.

Her advise: Take 2 sachet of Radix coffee every morning, afternoon and evening.
Take pills of EverGreen or ParaMaria and Tuju Angin.

Policemen and FRU in duty

I overheard a conversation among uncles while waiting a bus to go to Perak, policemen didn't give permit to PKR to do a ceramah because they were afraid a commotion would happened. If they wanted to know whether the commotion would really happened or not, they should give the permit first and see what would occured during of after ceramah... they are obviously not fair!!
