sam pat

the whole malaysia is going sam pat.

sam pat, sam pat, 3 8, 3 8; the number sound so auspicious that it is driving all the Toto lovers go frenzy over this set of number. All kind of combination was thought by the gambler in the hope of hitting the jackpot.

To a great extend, election is just a game of numbers. So i guess, we are just being chinese by grasping every single right opportunity to gamble :) obviously election hold a far greater mission than giving us the numbers to have fun with, but to a certain social economical group, it really have limited impact to their life. Striking lottery, maybe, election, nah...

Read a comment on newspaper regarding their candies that government been giving to chinese and tamil school on the past 2 weeks. It is believe that government have been given about about RM120million on improving these schools. The author said, if we capture the progress in graph, you would see stagnant line with giant leap every 5 years. And we are OK and HAPPY with that for the past 50 years. Our memory spasms are just too short i guess, or maybe, we cant read the graph?

We all know a lot of things only improved every 5 years, for example, the road condition around LDP. Residents in PJ area sense election the earliest, because the road condition been improving since November, and we are HAPPY and OK with that. Maybe we cant read the graph, but hey, we can read the sign now. hooray~

many people are predicting this election would be the first real triumph of democracy, and i was really anticipating to see that happening, dreaming one day we will have a Hilari and Othbamat that openly debate on live tv broadcast, and no body know who is the winner until the result is out.

However, i became skeptical when i realize the enormous number of people that did not register themselves for the election. The Y generation condemn every single thing that government doing not right. they crave for equality. But when we given the chance to make a change,

"can do it online ah?"
"nobody told me about registration also!"
"rocket have my support in my heart"

Sadly, i will be on my way back from Shanghai on the sam pat day. I am missing out my first ever opportunity to vote. I hate that feeling. damn it....
