Lots of unfinished work

Oh no... Thesis dateline is getting closer, but I'm stuck at it. It has been difficult to continue the unfinished part. Week after week I've made attempts to get it done but I'm arghhhhh struggling so much. Tomorrow homework is due. Wed there's a test, a very tough one coz the lectures itself is tough. Thur, another test. An important one coz it's the final exam for that paper. In April I will have 3 big examinations, and then yipee! I'm done with exams. I will start working and it will be the beginning of my working life.

Polling Day

In about half an hour’s time, the polling day of General Election 2008 will come to an end. And by tonight till early tomorrow, the results will be announced.

Over the past few weeks or so, everything involves about election. Topics of conversation evolve around who to vote, why vote for this person/party, this party ceramah is held here, that over there, if this party wins what will happen, if it doesn’t what will happen..etc.

I’m supposed to be part of those people who cast their votes today but I’ve not registered. Well, I’m very sure of who to support if I go to the polls today but yeah, silly of me to not have registered. Next time around, I am sure to be a responsible citizen to cast my vote. You see, my grandma aged 88 years old with walking aid went all out to vote early in the morning but I’m voteless coz I’ve forgotten to register myself till it was speculated beginning of the year that election will be held early this year. Nevertheless, I’ll follow the results closely as this 12th GE is one of the most debated and hottest GE around.

In the 2004 GE, I was following the results till early in the morning. I remembered the results of no. of votes were scrolling down the TV screen from time to time and it was quite boring actually. But I continued watching coz I'm interested to know who won and who did not in certain areas especially in Penang.

It's now raining although it was sunny this morning. Well, many citizens have casted their votes early as it was predicted to rain in the evenings. Now it's up to the winning party/candidates who have won after today to count their blessing and put up their best effort to serve as for this time, it's a tough one for some of them and their parties.
