The brother has been going on and on about this place known as Lookout Point, Hulu Langat after he got back home from that said place on Valentine’s Day. So that’s the reason why I’ve chosen to celebrate my birthday there. 

Click here because I’m lazy.

And no, Weng Hoe isn’t strong. I’m just light

Since I’ve uploaded these pictures into photobucket last week… letak je la

 

 

and then some of us went up to the tower for some apparently ‘better’ view.

I have never liked mixing different groups of friends together. And I don’t know why I never bother dressing up on my birthday (which I’ll regret later on).

So yea, on the eve, I had a bbq party over at my place with the high school friends.

And it’s just superduperly great that even though we barely keep in touch with each other, we are still as close (if not closer) as when we were 4 years back then.

Coincidentally, my birthday falls on election day!

Seriously, it would be awesome to be able to vote!

But it doesn’t matter, because I worked as a polling agent in some school located in PJ with Yun and Shun.

So, the day started when we were dragged by my mum at 7 in the morning although our shift was from 10 till 12pm. And in that 3 hours of free time, we goyang kaki in the coffee shop, helped out the pink penguins with their registration for 5 minutes, took some Barisan National freebies, tried to decorate my car with BN and DAP flags, gossip, tried sleeping, read newspaper and continue gossiping again.

At 10am, we were brought into the school ground by Uncle Chong, with us wearing some SPR passes.

 

I was in charged of the room which accommodates voters of 60-75 years of age. Basically, my job is just to cancel off people’s name from the list I’ve been given to and report the total number of voters later on. Super easy somemore can talk to my partner and sms Yun and Shun who were in the other rooms.

Anyway, quite a number of the elderlies came to vote with their grandchildren (as shown in the picture above), walking sticks, wheelchair, maids yada yada, hoping to make a change for this country and I was really touched by them. 

 

How I know they were voting for a change, you may ask. Because these elderlies didn’t have the strength to fold the ballot properly and their choices were disclosed clearly since they were dropping it into the transparent ballot boxes. 

It’s nice to see how (almost) everyone is moving towards the same goal regardless of their race e.g. non-Chinese voted for DAP. But I’m still with my stand that people should vote based on that person who is running and not the party he or she is representing. (yala yala i’m still emoing about the lost of leehwabeng to gwoburneloh dsh)

 

By the looks of how problems have already occured with the swearing of Menteri Besar, we should pray that it doesn’t get worst than it has gotten.

Whatever it is, congrats Malaysia for denying BN’s 2/3 majority and let us hope this is really for the better

Wee! More cupcakes. This time they are from Cheese. 

Yups. 2/3 of my cakes are from cuppacakes. What coincident! Really pretty albeit too sweet for my liking.

And since Choon May and I both share the same birthday and it was Ronnie’s birthday, we decided to all blow the cake!

 

So there you go, my 21st birthday

And the presents are really lovely especially the cards. Love you all <3
