UBAH! INI KALILAH

At 2.10am, 5th of may 2013. I'm excited and I'm trembling to witness to be part of this historical moment.
A lot been spreading words like this is going to be a very dirty election than any before but I choose to be neutral and decided to stand on my own. I still somehow believing in this party that had ruled my country my homeland for 55 years. I never thought that they will playing really dirty dirty tricks to make themselves winning this time.
Until I were tricked. Now I learned. Some news spreading out there on the social media can be true too. Of course I do not deny that some are made up stories or some are simply misleading the people since only a picture and no one are to explain about the condition the truth behind the picture.
Choose what to believe to. I made my choice after I learned big lesson. You are big enough wise enough to tell what's the truth to be.

However putting the sad part of GE13th aside, I saw unity. This unity that never been so clearly shown by rakyat. As a girl growing up in this sweet land with diversity of cultures and different races for 23 years, I should be eligible to voice out what's within myself.
When I were young, I went to tadika (kindergarden) with Malays and Indians. We played together and we learned together. The same languages and same lessons. Then I enrolled into primary school, SJK (C) I went to. The C stands for cina (Chinese). There I saw only few Indians (within my fingers count) and no Malays at all. After that, I speaks only mandarin which is also my mother tongue. Slowly I distanced from other races. I kinda don't like them due to some naive children around me telling stories they heard from their parents about other races. Not until the level of racist but I just simply don't make friends with them then. That time Malays and Indians to me are myths. I don't know anything further about them other than what taught by the moral textbooks.
Next I went to secondary school where I met Malays and Indians now. Slowly I learned they aren't as what my friends had told me about them. They have a total different background from me. The diet, the religions, the language, also the backgrounds. Progressively I made good friends with them. We played, we gossip, we learned and we adapted.
Even though I made friends with others races yet the distances are still there. I know something is wrong but cannot figure out what that is.
Now I know. Is aim. Is target. Is future. Through this year election, the unity formed and grow stronger. We the rakyat bond even firmer that ever before because we hope for the same future and aim for the same goal.
I'm really glad to see all races in Malaysia sitting together talking about the same goal that we are envision for. I'm so touched to see all the progress made to achieve this level of unity in rakyat. I teared whenever I saw the supporters of opposite party showing their effort in making this happen.
Later today I'm to also put my little small effort in making my future, my children's future and my grand children's future better.
UBAH!
