#9 The Game of Politics

The game of politics. See who badmouths the other team better. 

From my point of view. 

Wanna know how uninterested I am in politics? I'll tell you how uninterested in politics I am. Some of you may go "Why? Politics is sooo interesting!" or something like that. I can actually imagine TK telling me that. lol. It's been a long time since I've spoken to him. Hmm.
Anyways, back to showing you how uninterested I am in politics. So everyone as in all Sibuans know about the by election since the passing of Robert Lau Hoi Chew. The past week or so, in Sibu has been very  热闹. I'm sorry, I don't think there's an exact English word for that. Exciting? Doesn't fit here I think. Because of the by election, lots of people were out every night for free dinners, listening to campaign talks and whatnot. Most people go and listen to the talk by the Democratic Action Party (DAP) [Correct me if I'm wrong = =] compared to Barisan Nasional (BN). Rejang Park which is like just behind my house is one of the places they give talk every night. For the past 2/3 nights, I can actually hear the talks from my place. I went to Rejang Park last Thursday night with my parents to look around and join in the excitement? I had my earphones in my ears the whole time. Uh-huh.... My 2nd sis seems really excited about the by election. She's been following almost every movement of it since last night through the internet and when she tells me about it, I'm like "yeah" "...." "ok". Emotionless. That's me facing politics. Emotionless. Moving on to today...
Today is polling day. Results were supposedly out by 9 earlier this evening. However it's still not out. Every Sibuan on facebook is posting that DAP won which I guess is quite true, since they were leading quite a bit. They're not announcing it yet because BN lost, and they're trying to find ways by crook to see if they can make BN win. or something. whatever. Everyone is like really excited about the results. Me? I feel NOTHING. yeah, that's right. Nothing whatsoever. I'll get excited once somebody does something about the road conditions in Sibu a.s.a.p. Hopefully, that'll be DAP once it's confirmed that they've won. 

Yeah.... that's me. 

UPDATE: DAP won. whoopdeedoo! *blank face*
