... kenangan di musim pilihanraya ...

i had fond memories of the recent pilihanraya.

nope, i am not talking of the kemeriahan kempen-kempen, the janji-janji made to the people, nor am i talking about the first "less than 2/3 majority" win of barisan nasional in 50 years. i am also not talking about the parliament line-up that was announced a few days ago (that already felt like years ago - burrriinnggggg bah), which saw some ahem changes to the usual crowd. no. tidak. sia bukan cakap pasal semua tu. macam si tai-tai kan!

undi anda adalah rahsia.

rather (cue dramatic drum roll), i am referring to my first venture into the mengundi hoopla. yup, it was my first time doing the pangkah thing in that lil' cubicle. it was also my first time being scolded by the police.

hahaha.

you see, i was with my bro and cousin that day. all three of us mimang baru pertama kali la pigi mengundi. in the midst of our excitement and oh, with just-a-little-dash-of-tagasness, kami lupa la pula mo kasi kurang sikit itu volume suara.

my bro was in the middle of his "eee nanti time sia mengundi kamu jan lupa ambil gambar sia kama, misti, kenangan bah ni first time pigi mengundi, blah blah blah" moment. as i was getting my camera out (sambil survey2 angle yg sesuai mo ambil gambar).....

tiba-tiba.

ahem. sekius me. buli ka kamu jan tlampau bising. urang tia dengar apa yang kena cakap tu.

turned my pretty little head towards the voice.

ala, pulis la pula.

with our award winning senyuman kambing, we muttered our apologies and shut up. tapi ada juga la terkeluar sikit-sikit tu ngingis ngadits kami.

now, whenever people talk about the pilihanraya, i remember not the candidates' faces, but the pulismen's kunun-kunun fierce face.

koboloh bah kami.
